OPINION
SLEET, District Judge.
I. INTRODUCTION.
On July 1, 1999, this court allowed Rita Farrell, a reporter with Reuters News Service, to intervene in this matter for the specific purpose of challenging the “confidential” designation of over 8,000 pages of material filed under seal in this case. Emphasizing the important First Amendment and common law interests in affording Ms. Farrell timely access to these judicial records, the court appointed a special master to preside over the de-classification process in order to afford Ms. Farrell timely access to the material she desired.
