NATIONAL SECURITY RESOURCES BOARD

SECTION 1. FUNCTIONS OF CHAIRMAN AND OF BOARD

The functions of the National Security Resources Board are hereby

transferred to the Chairman of the National Security Resources

Board, and the Board shall hereafter advise and consult with the

Chairman with respect to such matters within his jurisdiction as he

may request.

SEC. 2. VICE CHAIRMAN

There is hereby established the office of Vice Chairman of the

National Security Resources Board. Such Vice Chairman shall (1) be

an additional member of the National Security Resources Board, (2)

be appointed from civilian life by the President, by and with the

advice and consent of the Senate, (3) receive compensation at the

rate of $16,000 per annum, and (4) perform such of the duties of

the Chairman as the Chairman shall designate.

SEC. 3. PERFORMANCE OF FUNCTIONS OF CHAIRMAN

The Chairman may from time to time make such provisions as he

shall deem appropriate authorizing the performance by any other

officer, or by any agency or employee, of the National Security

Resources Board of any function of the Chairman.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 25 of 1950, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949. The plan transfers the function of the National Security

Resources Board from the Board to the Chairman of the Board and

makes the Board advisory to the Chairman. The plan also provides

for a Vice Chairman, appointed by the President and confirmed by

the Senate.

The function assigned to the National Security Resources Board by

the National Security Act of 1947 is "to advise the President

concerning the coordination of military, industrial and civilian

mobilization." Proper performance of this function requires action

by the Board and its staff in two broad areas:

(1) The conduct of advance mobilization planning which identifies

the problems which will arise and the measures necessary to meet

these problems if and when the Nation moves from a peacetime into a

wartime situation.

(2) The formulation of current policies and programs which will

help the Nation achieve an adequate state of readiness against the

eventuality of a future war.

The role assigned the National Security Resources Board is

clearly one of staff assistance to the President. The Congress

recently recognized this fact in its approval of Reorganization

Plan No. 4 of 1949 which, pursuant to the specific recommendation

of the Hoover Commission, placed the National Security Resources

Board in the Executive Office of the President.

The accompanying reorganization plan is designed to make the

National Security Resources Board a more effective instrument.

Successful performance of the Board's mission requires a wide range

of detailed study and analysis to cover all the major aspects of

national mobilization. A committee of department heads or

departmental representatives encounters some natural difficulties

in providing supervision and leadership in such an extensive and

detailed activity. The Chairman has the difficult task of

exercising discretion as to which matters shall be submitted for

Board approval. The departmental members of the Board cannot

possibly supervise or approve the Board's extensive and detailed

activities and yet, as Board members, must accept ultimate

responsibility for all such activities. Likewise, the departmental

members are encumbered by the difficulty of having to reach

collective and speedy decisions on a great many matters for which

they, as Board members, are responsible.

By vesting the functions of the Board in the Chairman, the

difficulties of Board operation will be overcome. At the same time,

the reorganization plan provides for the continued participation of

the several departments and agencies in the task of mobilization

planning. This is not only a matter of established policy but also

a requirement of the National Security Act. The departments will

continue to have representation on the Board. The Board, in an

advisory relationship to the Chairman, will be a useful arrangement

for obtaining the necessary participation of departments in

mobilization planning and for coordination of their activity. It

will enable the departments to keep abreast of the total range of

security resources planning. Without reliance on the departments

for the execution of much of the actual job of mobilization

planning, coordination with the total range of governmental

policies and objectives would be lost.

The Congress in passing the National Security Act Amendments of

1949 recognized the difficulty which exists when functions of staff

advice and assistance are placed in a board-type agency. The

National Security Act Amendments of 1949, in clarifying the role of

the Chairman of the Munitions Board and the Research and

Development Board, strengthened and increased the effectiveness of

these staff agencies of the Secretary of Defense by providing for

the exclusive exercise of responsibilities by the Chairman. This

plan achieves the same objective for the National Security

Resources Board.

The accompanying reorganization plan provides for a Vice Chairman

appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The

tremendous responsibilities of the National Security Resources

Board and the heavy workload on the Chairman fully warrant this.

Providing the Chairman with a principal associate for the exercise

of his responsibilities is consistent with the usual practice in

other agencies of the executive branch.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 25 of 1950 is

necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in

section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

I have found and hereby declare that it is necessary to include

in the accompanying reorganization plan, by reason of

reorganizations made thereby, provisions for the appointment and

compensation of a Vice Chairman of the National Security Resources

Board. The rate of compensation fixed for this officer is that

which I have found to prevail in respect of comparable officers in

the executive branch of the Government.

The taking effect of the reorganizations included in

Reorganization Plan No. 25 may not in itself result in substantial

immediate savings. However, the important objective is maximum

effectiveness in security resources planning.

The security of this Nation requires that these steps be taken to

enable security resources planning to move forward more

effectively. It is for that reason that Reorganization Plan No. 25

is today submitted to the Congress. It is for that reason, and that

reason alone, that I strongly urge congressional acceptance of

Reorganization Plan No. 25.

SEC. 6. ABOLITION OF NATIONAL SECURITY RESOURCES BOARD

The National Security Resources Board (established by the

National Security Act of 1947, 61 Stat. 499 [this section]),

including the offices of Chairman and Vice Chairman of the National

Security Resources Board, is hereby abolished, and the Director

shall provide for winding up any outstanding affairs of the said

Board or offices not otherwise provided for in this reorganization

plan.

[For subsequent history relating to Office of Defense

Mobilization, see notes set out under this section.]

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1953, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949, as amended.

The reorganization plan is designed to achieve two primary

objectives: The first is to improve the organization of the

Executive Office of the President; the second is to enable one

Executive Office agency to exercise strong leadership in our

national mobilization effort, including both current defense

activities and readiness for any future national emergency.

The National Security Resources Board was established by the

National Security Act of 1947 to advise the President concerning

various aspects of future military, industrial, and civilian

mobilization. The areas of responsibility assigned to the Board

included the use of national and industrial resources for military

and civilian needs; the sufficiency of productive facilities; the

strategic relocation of industries; the mobilization and maximum

utilization of manpower; and the maintenance and stabilization of

the civilian economy.

The vigorous and efficient discharge of these vital functions is

not well served by the simultaneous existence in the Executive

Office of the President of the National Security Resources Board

(charged with planning for the future) and the present Office of

Defense Mobilization (charged with programs of the present). The

progress of the current mobilization effort has made plain how

artificial is the present separation of these functions.

Both functions should now be combined into one defense

mobilization agency. Accordingly, the reorganization plan would

create in the Executive Office of the President a new agency, to be

known as the Office of Defense Mobilization. It would transfer to

the new Office the functions of the Chairman of the National

Security Resources Board and abolish that Board, including the

offices of Chairman and Vice Chairman.

The reorganization plan also transfers to the new agency the

statutory functions of the present Office of Defense Mobilization.

These are of a minor nature, the major functions of the present

Office of Defense Mobilization having been delegated to it by the

President, principally under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as

amended. It is my intention to transfer the latter functions to the

new agency by Executive order, and to abolish the Office of Defense

Mobilization established by Executive Order No. 10193. There will

thus result a new agency which combines the activities of the

National Security Resources Board and both the statutory and

delegated functions of the heretofore existing Office of Defense

Mobilization.

The proposed plan would also reorganize various activities

relating to the stockpiling of strategic and critical materials.

Those activities are principally provided for in the Strategic and

Critical Materials Stock Piling Act, as amended. It has become

increasingly apparent that the policy and program aspects of

stockpiling are an integral part of mobilization planning. They

should not be administered separately from plant expansion,

conservation of materials, and materials procurement under the

Defense Production Act of 1950, or from the duties placed in the

National Security Resources Board by the National Security Act of

1947. Therefore, the reorganization plan would transfer to the

Director of the new Office of Defense Mobilization responsibility

for major stockpiling actions, including the determination of the

nature and quantities of materials to be stockpiled. In the main,

these functions are transferred from the Secretaries of the Army,

Navy, and Air Force (acting jointly through the agency of the

Munitions Board) and the Secretary of the Interior. The duties of

the Administrator of General Services regarding the purchase of

strategic and critical materials and the management of stockpiles

are not affected by the reorganization plan, except that he will

receive his directions, under the plan, from the Director of the

Office of Defense Mobilization instead of from the Department of

Defense.

This transfer of stockpiling functions will correct the present

undesirable confusion of responsibilities. The functions of the

heads of the military departments of the Department of Defense and

the Secretary of the Interior under the Strategic and Critical

Materials Stock Piling Act, as amended, are at present in

considerable measure subject to other authority of delegates of the

President springing from the Defense Production Act of 1950, as

amended. The allocation and distribution of scarce materials among

essential civilian and military activities and the continued

maintenance of adequate stockpiles of strategic and critical

materials are of major current importance. The reorganization plan

will make possible more effective coordination and close control

over the Government's whole stockpile program. It will speed

decisions. It can result in significant economies.

The Department of Defense will, of course, continue to be

responsible for presenting the needs of the military services. That

Department and the Department of the Interior are specifically

designated in the plan as additional agencies which shall appoint

representatives to cooperate with the Director of the Office of

Defense Mobilization in determining which materials are strategic

and critical and how much of them is to be purchased. Final

authority with regard to such determination will, however, be in

the Director of the Office of Defense Mobilization.

Section 5(a) of the reorganization plan withholds from transfer

to the Director and abolishes the functions of the Chairman of the

National Security Resources Board with regard to being consulted by

and furnishing advice to the President concerning the placing of

orders of mandatory precedence for articles or materials for the

use of the armed forces of the United States or for the use of the

Atomic Energy Commission, and with regard to determining that a

plant, mine, or other facility can be readily converted to the

production or furnishing of such articles or materials. These

abolished functions were vested in the National Security Resources

Board by section 18 of the Selective Service Act of 1948 (later

renamed as the Universal Military Training and Service Act) and

were transferred to the Chairman of that Board by Reorganization

Plan No. 25 of 1950. The practical effect of this abolition is to

obviate a statutory mandate that the President consult and advise

with another officer of the executive branch of the Government.

Section 5(b) of the reorganization plan abolishes the direction,

authority, and control of the Secretary of Defense over functions

transferred from the Department of Defense by the reorganization

plan. The Secretary's functions in this regard are provided for in

section 202(b) of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (5

U.S.C. 171a(b)) [see 10 U.S.C. 113(b)].

Section 5(c) of the reorganization plan abolishes any functions

which were vested in the Army and Navy Munitions Board or which are

vested in the Munitions Board with respect to serving as the agent

through which the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the

Interior jointly act in determining which materials are strategic

and critical under the provisions of the Strategic and Critical

Materials Stock Piling Act, as amended, and the quality and

quantities of such materials to be stockpiled. These abolished

functions are provided for in section 2(a) of the Strategic and

Critical Materials Stock Piling Act, as amended.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1953 is

necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in

section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended. I have

also found and hereby declare that by reason of these

reorganizations it is necessary to include in the reorganization

plan provisions for the appointment and compensation of a Director

and a Deputy Director of the Office of Defense Mobilization. The

rates of compensation fixed for these officers are, respectively,

those which I have found to prevail in respect of comparable

officers of the executive branch of the Government.

The reorganization plan will permit better organization and

management of the Federal programs relating to materials and

requirements and will thus help to achieve the maximum degree of

mobilization readiness at the least possible cost. It is not

practicable, however, to itemize, in advance of actual experience,

the reductions of expenditures to be brought about by the taking

effect of the reorganizations included in Reorganization Plan No. 3

of 1953.

I urge that the Congress allow the proposed reorganization plan

to become effective.

Dwight D. Eisenhower.

(d) Early retirement

An employee who -

(1) is at least 50 years of age and has completed 20 years of

service; or

(2) has at least 25 years of service,

may, pursuant to regulations promulgated under this section, apply

employee has not less than 10 years of service with the National

Security Agency.

(e) Amount of separation pay and treatment for other purposes

(1) Amount

Separation pay shall be paid in a lump sum and shall be equal

(f) Reemployment restrictions

An employee who receives separation pay under such program may

not be reemployed by the National Security Agency for the 12-month

Management may, at the request of the head of the agency, waive the

repayment if the individual involved possesses unique abilities and

is the only qualified applicant available for the position. If the

employment is with an entity in the legislative branch, the head of

the entity or the appointing official may waive the repayment if

the individual involved possesses unique abilities and is the only

qualified applicant available for the position. If the employment

informal appearance before, or, with the intent to influence,

make any oral or written communication on behalf of any other

person (except the United States) to the National Security

Agency; or

(B) participate in any manner in the award, modification, or

extension of any contract for property or services with the

National Security Agency,

during the 12-month period beginning on the effective date of the

employee's separation from service.

(2) Penalty

An employee who violates an agreement under this subsection

shall be liable to the United States in the amount of the

separation pay paid to the employee pursuant to this section

multiplied by the proportion of the 12-month period during which

the employee was in violation of the agreement.

Under this program, early retirement and separation pay may be

offered only -

(1) with the prior approval of the Director;

(2) for the period specified by the Director; and

Management for deposit in the Treasury of the United States to the

credit of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, an

amount equal to 15 percent of the final basic pay of each employee

to whom a voluntary separation payment has been or is to be paid

under this section. The remittance required by this subsection

Sec. 435. Procedures

-STATUTE-

(a) Not later than 180 days after October 14, 1994, the President

shall, by Executive order or regulation, establish procedures to

govern access to classified information which shall be binding upon

all departments, agencies, and offices of the executive branch of

Government. Such procedures shall, at a minimum -

(1) provide that, except as may be permitted by the President,

no employee in the executive branch of Government may be given

access to classified information by any department, agency, or

office of the executive branch of Government unless, based upon

an appropriate background investigation, such access is

determined to be clearly consistent with the national security

interests of the United States;

(2) establish uniform minimum requirements governing the scope

and frequency of background investigations and reinvestigations

for all employees in the executive branch of Government who

require access to classified information as part of their

official responsibilities;

(3) provide that all employees in the executive branch of

Government who require access to classified information shall be

required as a condition of such access to provide to the

employing department or agency written consent which permits

access by an authorized investigative agency to relevant

financial records, other financial information, consumer reports,

travel records, and computers used in the performance of

Government duties, as determined by the President, in accordance

with section 436 of this title, during the period of access to

classified information and for a period of three years

thereafter;

(4) provide that all employees in the executive branch of

Government who require access to particularly sensitive

classified information, as determined by the President, shall be

required, as a condition of maintaining access to such

information, to submit to the employing department or agency,

during the period of such access, relevant information concerning

their financial condition and foreign travel, as determined by

the President, as may be necessary to ensure appropriate

security; and

(5) establish uniform minimum standards to ensure that

employees in the executive branch of Government whose access to

classified information is being denied or terminated under this

subchapter are appropriately advised of the reasons for such

denial or termination and are provided an adequate opportunity to

respond to all adverse information which forms the basis for such

denial or termination before final action by the department or

agency concerned.

(b)(1) Subsection (a) of this section shall not be deemed to

limit or affect the responsibility and power of an agency head

pursuant to other law or Executive order to deny or terminate

access to classified information if the national security so

requires. Such responsibility and power may be exercised only when

the agency head determines that the procedures prescribed by

subsection (a) of this section cannot be invoked in a manner that

is consistent with the national security.

(2) Upon the exercise of such responsibility, the agency head

shall submit a report to the congressional intelligence committees.

"(2) Ensuring, through such measures, public access to

information that does not require continued protection to

maintain the national security interests of the United States is

a key to striking the balance between secrecy essential to

national security and the openness that is central to the proper

functioning of the political institutions of the United States.

COMMISSION ON PROTECTING AND REDUCING GOVERNMENT SECRECY

Pub. L. 103-236, title IX, Apr. 30, 1994, 108 Stat. 525, provided

that:

"SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

"This title may be cited as the 'Protection and Reduction of

Government Secrecy Act'.

"SEC. 902. FINDINGS.

"The Congress makes the following findings:

"(1) During the Cold War an extensive secrecy system developed

which limited public access to information and reduced the

ability of the public to participate with full knowledge in the

process of governmental decisionmaking.

"(2) In 1992 alone 6,349,532 documents were classified and

approximately three million persons held some form of security

clearance.

"(3) The burden of managing more than 6 million newly

classified documents every year has led to tremendous

administrative expense, reduced communication within the

government and within the scientific community, reduced

communication between the government and the people of the United

States, and the selective and unauthorized public disclosure of

classified information.

"(4) It has been estimated that private businesses spend more

than $14 billion each year implementing government mandated

regulations for protecting classified information.

"(5) If a smaller amount of truly sensitive information were

classified the information could be held more securely.

"(6) In 1970 a Task Force organized by the Defense Science

Board and headed by Dr. Frederick Seitz concluded that 'more

might be gained than lost if our Nation were to adopt -

unilaterally, if necessary - a policy of complete openness in all

areas of information'.

"(7) The procedures for granting security clearances have

themselves become an expensive and inefficient part of the

secrecy system and should be closely examined.

"(8) A bipartisan study commission specially constituted for

the purpose of examining the consequences of the secrecy system

will be able to offer comprehensive proposals for reform.

"SEC. 903. PURPOSE.

"It is the purpose of this title to establish for a two-year

period a Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy -

"(1) to examine the implications of the extensive

classification of information and to make recommendations to

reduce the volume of information classified and thereby to

strengthen the protection of legitimately classified information;

and

"(2) to examine and make recommendations concerning current

procedures relating to the granting of security clearances.

WHEREAS I find that the provisions and procedures prescribed by

this order are necessary to assure the preservation of the

integrity of classified defense information and to protect the

national interest; and

WHEREAS I find that those provisions and procedures recognize the

interest of individuals affected thereby and provide maximum

possible safeguards to protect such interests:

NOW, THEREFORE, under and by virtue of the authority vested in me

by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, and as

President of the United States and as Commander in Chief of the

armed forces of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. When used in this order, the term "head of a

department" means the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense,

the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Energy, the

Secretary of Homeland Security, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration, and, in section 4, the Attorney General. The term

"head of a department" also means the head of any department or

agency, including but not limited to those referenced above with

whom the Department of Defense makes an agreement to extend

regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense concerning

authorizations for access to classified information pursuant to

Executive Order No. 12829 [set out below].

Sec. 2. An authorization for access to classified information

pursuant to Executive Order No. 12829 [set out below] may be

granted by the head of a department or his designee, including but

not limited to, those officials named in section 8 of this order,

to an individual, hereinafter termed an "applicant", for a specific

classification category only upon a finding that it is clearly

consistent with the national interest to do so.

Sec. 3. Except as provided in section 9 of this order, an

authorization for access to a specific classification category may

not be finally denied or revoked pursuant to Executive Order No.

12829 [set out below] by the head of a department or his designee,

including, but not limited to, those officials named in section 8

of this order, unless the applicant has been given the following:

(1) A written statement of the reasons why his access

authorization may be denied or revoked, which shall be as

comprehensive and detailed as the national security permits.

(2) A reasonable opportunity to reply in writing under oath or

affirmation to the statement of reasons.

(3) After he has filed under oath or affirmation a written reply

to the statement of reasons, the form and sufficiency of which may

be prescribed by regulations issued by the head of the department

concerned, an opportunity to appear personally before the head of

the department concerned or his designee including, but not limited

to, those officials named in section 8 of this order for the

purpose of supporting his eligibility for access authorization and

to present evidence on his behalf.

(4) A reasonable time to prepare for that appearance.

(5) An opportunity to be represented by counsel.

(6) An opportunity to cross-examine persons either orally or

through written interrogatories in accordance with section 4 on

matters not relating to the characterization in the statement of

reasons of any organization or individual other than the applicant.

(7) A written notice of the final decision in his case which, if

adverse, shall specify whether the head of the department or his

designee, including, but not limited to, those officials named in

section 8 of this order, found for or against him with respect to

each allegation in the statement of reasons.

Sec. 4. (a) An applicant shall be afforded an opportunity to

cross-examine persons who have made oral or written statements

adverse to the applicant relating to a controverted issue except

that any such statement may be received and considered without

affording such opportunity in the circumstances described in either

of the following paragraphs:

(1) The head of the department supplying the statement certifies

that the person who furnished the information is a confidential

informant who has been engaged in obtaining intelligence

information for the Government and that disclosure of his identity

would be substantially harmful to the national interest.

(2) The head of the department concerned or his special designee

for that particular purpose has preliminarily determined, after

considering information furnished by the investigative agency

involved as to the reliability of the person and the accuracy of

the statement concerned, that the statement concerned appears to be

reliable and material, and the head of the department or such

special designee has determined that failure to receive and

consider such statement would, in view of the level of access

sought, be substantially harmful to the national security and that

the person who furnished the information cannot appear to testify

(A) due to death, severe illness, or similar cause, in which case

the identity of the person and the information to be considered

shall be made available to the applicant, or (B) due to some other

cause determined by the head of the department to be good and

sufficient.

(b) Whenever procedures under paragraphs (1) or (2) of subsection

(a) of this section are used (1) the applicant shall be given a

summary of the information which shall be as comprehensive and

detailed as the national security permits, (2) appropriate

consideration shall be accorded to the fact that the applicant did

not have an opportunity to cross-examine such person or persons,

and (3) a final determination adverse to the applicant shall be

made only by the head of the department based upon his personal

review of the case.

Sec. 5. (a) Records compiled in the regular course of business,

or other physical evidence other than investigative reports, may be

received and considered subject to rebuttal without authenticating

witnesses, provided that such information has been furnished to the

department concerned by an investigative agency pursuant to its

responsibilities in connection with assisting the head of the

department concerned to safeguard classified information within

industry pursuant to this order.

(b) Records compiled in the regular course of business, or other

physical evidence other than investigative reports, relating to a

controverted issue which, because they are classified, may not be

inspected by the applicant, may be received and considered provided

that: (1) the head of the department concerned or his special

designee for that purpose has made a preliminary determination that

such physical evidence appears to be material, (2) the head of the

department concerned or such designee has made a determination that

failure to receive and consider such physical evidence would, in

view of the level of access sought, be substantially harmful to the

national security, and (3) to the extent that the national security

permits, a summary or description of such physical evidence is made

available to the applicant. In every such case, information as to

the authenticity and accuracy of such physical evidence furnished

by the investigative agency involved shall be considered. In such

instances a final determination adverse to the applicant shall be

made only by the head of the department based upon his personal

review of the case.

Sec. 6. The head of a department of the United States or his

representative, may issue, in appropriate cases, invitations and

requests to appear and testify in order that the applicant may have

the opportunity to cross-examine as provided by this order.

Whenever a witness is so invited or requested to appear and testify

at a proceeding and the witness is an officer or employee of the

executive branch of the Government or a member of the armed forces

of the United States, and the proceeding involves the activity in

connection with which the witness is employed, travel expenses and

per diem are authorized as provided by the Standardized Government

Travel Regulations or the Joint Travel Regulations, as appropriate.

In all other cases (including non-Government employees as well as

officers or employees of the executive branch of the Government or

members of the armed forces of the United States not covered by the

foregoing sentence), transportation in kind and reimbursement for

actual expenses are authorized in an amount not to exceed the

amount payable under Standardized Government Travel Regulations. An

officer or employee of the executive branch of the Government or a

member of the armed forces of the United States who is invited or

requested to appear pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to

be in the performance of his official duties. So far as the

national security permits, the head of the investigative agency

involved shall cooperate with the Secretary, the Administrator, or

the head of the other department or agency, as the case may be, in

identifying persons who have made statements adverse to the

applicant and in assisting him in making them available for

cross-examination. If a person so invited is an officer or employee

of the executive branch of the government or a member of the armed

forces of the United States, the head of the department or agency

concerned shall cooperate in making that person available for

cross-examination.

Sec. 7. Any determination under this order adverse to an

applicant shall be a determination in terms of the national

interest and shall in no sense be a determination as to the loyalty

of the applicant concerned.

Sec. 8. Except as otherwise specified in the preceding provisions

of this order, any authority vested in the head of a department by

this order may be delegated to the the [sic] deputy of that

department, or the principal assistant to the head of that

department, as the case may be.

Sec. 9. Nothing contained in this order shall be deemed to limit

or affect the responsibility and powers of the head of a department

to deny or revoke access to a specific classification category if

the security of the nation so requires. Such authority may not be

delegated and may be exercised only when the head of a department

determines that the procedures prescribed in sections 3, 4, and 5

cannot be invoked consistently with the national security and such

determination shall be conclusive.

EX. ORD. NO. 11932. CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION AND

MATERIAL OBTAINED FROM ADVISORY BODIES CREATED TO IMPLEMENT THE

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY PROGRAM

Ex. Ord. No. 11932, Aug. 4, 1976, 41 F.R. 32691, provided:

The United States has entered into the Agreement on an

International Energy Program of November 18, 1974, which created

the International Energy Agency. This program is a substantial

factor in the conduct of our foreign relations and an important

element of our national security. The effectiveness of the

Agreement depends significantly upon the provision and exchange of

information and material by participants in advisory bodies created

by the International Energy Agency. Confidentiality is essential to

assure the free and open discussion necessary to accomplish the

tasks assigned to those bodies. I have consulted with the Secretary

of State, the Attorney General and the Administrator of the Federal

Energy Administration concerning the handling and safeguarding of

information and material in the possession of the United States

which has been obtained pursuant to the program, and I find that

some of such information and material requires protection as

provided in Executive Order No. 11652 of March 8, 1972, as amended

[formerly set out above].

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the

Constitution and statutes of the United States, and as President of

the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Information and material obtained pursuant to the

International Energy Program and which requires protection against

unauthorized disclosure in the interest of the national defense or

foreign relations of the United States shall be classified pursuant

to Executive Order No. 11652 of March 8, 1972, as amended [formerly

set out above]. The Secretary of State shall have the

responsibility for the classification, declassification and

safeguarding of information and material in the possession of the

United States Government which has been obtained pursuant to:

(a) Section 252(c)(3), (d)(2), or (e)(3) of the Energy Policy and

Conservation Act (89 Stat. 871; 42 U.S.C. 6272(c)(3), (d)(2),

(e)(3)), or

(b) The Voluntary Agreement and Program relating to the

International Energy Program (40 F.R. 16041, April 8, 1975), or

(c) Any similar Voluntary Agreement and Program entered into

under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act [42 U.S.C. 6201 et

seq.] after the date of this Order.

Sec. 2. Information or material classified pursuant to Section 1

of this Order may be exempted from the General Declassification

Schedule established by Section 5 of Executive Order No. 11652

[formerly set out above] if it was obtained by the United States on

the understanding that it be kept in confidence, or if it might

otherwise be exempted under Section 5(B) of such Order.

Sec. 3. (a) Within 60 days of the date of this Order, the

Secretary of State shall promulgate regulations which implement his

responsibilities under this Order.

(b) The directives issued under Section 6 of Executive Order No.

11652 [formerly set out above] shall not apply to information and

material classified under this Order. However, the regulations

promulgated by the Secretary of State shall:

(1) conform, to the extent practicable, to the policies set

forth in Section 6 of Executive Order No. 11652 [formerly set out

above], and

(2) provide that he may take such measures as he deems

necessary and appropriate to ensure the confidentiality of any

information and material classified under this Order that may

remain in the custody or control of any person outside the United

States Government.

EX. ORD. NO. 12812. DECLASSIFICATION AND RELEASE OF MATERIALS

PERTAINING TO PRISONERS OF WAR AND MISSING IN ACTION

Ex. Ord. No. 12812, July 22, 1992, 57 F.R. 32879, provided:

WHEREAS, the Senate, by S. Res. 324 of July 2, 1992, has asked

that I "expeditiously issue an Executive order requiring all

executive branch departments and agencies to declassify and

publicly release without compromising United States national

security all documents, files, and other materials pertaining to

POWs and MIAs;" and

WHEREAS, indiscriminate release of classified material could

jeopardize continuing United States Government efforts to achieve

the fullest possible accounting of Vietnam-era POWs and MIAs; and

WHEREAS, I have concluded that the public interest would be

served by the declassification and public release of materials

pertaining to Vietnam-era POWs and MIAs as provided below;

NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby

order as follows:

Section 1. All executive departments and agencies shall

expeditiously review all documents, files, and other materials

pertaining to American POWs and MIAs lost in Southeast Asia for the

purposes of declassification in accordance with the standards and

procedures of Executive Order No. 12356 [formerly set out above].

Sec. 2. All executive departments and agencies shall make

publicly available documents, files, and other materials

declassified pursuant to section 1, except for those the disclosure

of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of

personal privacy of returnees, family members of POWs and MIAs, or

other persons, or would impair the deliberative processes of the

executive branch.

Sec. 3. This order is not intended to create any right or

benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by a party against

the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers

or employees, or any other person.

EX. ORD. NO. 12829. NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL SECURITY PROGRAM

Ex. Ord. No. 12829, Jan. 6, 1993, 58 F.R. 3479, as amended by Ex.

Ord. No. 12885, Dec. 14, 1993, 58 F.R. 65863, provided:

This order establishes a National Industrial Security Program to

safeguard Federal Government classified information that is

released to contractors, licensees, and grantees of the United

States Government. To promote our national interests, the United

States Government issues contracts, licenses, and grants to

nongovernment organizations. When these arrangements require access

to classified information, the national security requires that this

information be safeguarded in a manner equivalent to its protection

within the executive branch of Government. The national security

also requires that our industrial security program promote the

economic and technological interests of the United States.

Redundant, overlapping, or unnecessary requirements impede those

interests. Therefore, the National Industrial Security Program

shall serve as a single, integrated, cohesive industrial security

program to protect classified information and to preserve our

Nation's economic and technological interests.

Therefore, by the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,

including the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C.

2011-2286) [42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.], the National Security Act of

1947, as amended (codified as amended in scattered sections of the

United States Code) [see Short Title note set out under section 401

of this title], and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended

(5 U.S.C. App. 2) [5 App. U.S.C.], it is hereby ordered as follows:

-MISC2-

PART 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND POLICY

Section 101. Establishment. (a) There is established a National

Industrial Security Program. The purpose of this program is to

safeguard classified information that may be released or has been

released to current, prospective, or former contractors, licensees,

or grantees of United States agencies. For the purposes of this

order, the terms "contractor, licensee, or grantee" means current,

prospective, or former contractors, licensees, or grantees of

United States agencies. The National Industrial Security Program

shall be applicable to all executive branch departments and

agencies.

(b) The National Industrial Security Program shall provide for

the protection of information classified pursuant to Executive

Order No. 12356 of April 2, 1982 [formerly set out above], or its

successor, and the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended [42 U.S.C.

2011 et seq.].

(c) For the purposes of this order, the term "contractor" does

not include individuals engaged under personal services contracts.

Sec. 102. Policy Direction. (a) The National Security Council

shall provide overall policy direction for the National Industrial

Security Program.

(b) The Director of the Information Security Oversight Office,

established under Executive Order No. 12356 of April 2, 1982

[formerly set out above], shall be responsible for implementing and

monitoring the National Industrial Security Program and shall:

(1) develop, in consultation with the agencies, and promulgate

subject to the approval of the National Security Council,

directives for the implementation of this order, which shall be

binding on the agencies;

(2) oversee agency, contractor, licensee, and grantee actions to

ensure compliance with this order and implementing directives;

(3) review all agency implementing regulations, internal rules,

or guidelines. The Director shall require any regulation, rule, or

guideline to be changed if it is not consistent with this order or

implementing directives. Any such decision by the Director may be

appealed to the National Security Council. The agency regulation,

rule, or guideline shall remain in effect pending a prompt decision

on the appeal;

(4) have the authority, pursuant to terms of applicable

contracts, licenses, grants, or regulations, to conduct on-site

reviews of the implementation of the National Industrial Security

Program by each agency, contractor, licensee, and grantee that has

access to or stores classified information and to require of each

agency, contractor, licensee, and grantee those reports,

information, and other cooperation that may be necessary to fulfill

the Director's responsibilities. If these reports, inspections, or

access to specific classified information, or other forms of

cooperation, would pose an exceptional national security risk, the

affected agency head or the senior official designated under

section 203(a) of this order may request the National Security

Council to deny access to the Director. The Director shall not have

access pending a prompt decision by the National Security Council;

(5) report any violations of this order or its implementing

directives to the head of the agency or to the senior official

designated under section 203(a) of this order so that corrective

action, if appropriate, may be taken. Any such report pertaining to

the implementation of the National Industrial Security Program by a

contractor, licensee, or grantee shall be directed to the agency

that is exercising operational oversight over the contractor,

licensee, or grantee under section 202 of this order;

(6) consider and take action on complaints and suggestions from

persons within or outside the Government with respect to the

administration of the National Industrial Security Program;

(7) consider, in consultation with the advisory committee

established by this order, affected agencies, contractors,

licensees, and grantees, and recommend to the President through the

National Security Council changes to this order; and

(8) report at least annually to the President through the

National Security Council on the implementation of the National

Industrial Security Program.

(c) Nothing in this order shall be construed to supersede the

authority of the Secretary of Energy or the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended [42

U.S.C. 2011 et seq.], or the authority of the Director of Central

Intelligence under the National Security Act of 1947, as amended

[see Short Title note set out under section 401 of this title], or

Executive Order No. 12333 of December 8, 1981 [50 U.S.C. 401 note].

Sec. 103. National Industrial Security Program Policy Advisory

Committee. (a) Establishment. There is established the National

Industrial Security Program Policy Advisory Committee

("Committee"). The Director of the Information Security Oversight

Office shall serve as Chairman of the Committee and appoint the

members of the Committee. The members of the Committee shall be the

representatives of those departments and agencies most affected by

the National Industrial Security Program and nongovernment

representatives of contractors, licensees, or grantees involved

with classified contracts, licenses, or grants, as determined by

the Chairman.

(b) Functions. (1) The Committee members shall advise the

Chairman of the Committee on all matters concerning the policies of

the National Industrial Security Program, including recommended

changes to those policies as reflected in this order, its

implementing directives, or the operating manual established under

this order, and serve as a forum to discuss policy issues in

dispute.

(2) The Committee shall meet at the request of the Chairman, but

at least twice during the calendar year.

(c) Administration. (1) Members of the Committee shall serve

without compensation for their work on the Committee. However,

nongovernment members may be allowed travel expenses, including per

5701-5707).

(2) To the extent permitted by law and subject to the

availability of funds, the Administrator of General Services shall

provide the Committee with administrative services, facilities,

staff, and other support services necessary for the performance of

its functions.

(d) General. Notwithstanding any other Executive order, the

functions of the President under the Federal Advisory Committee

Act, as amended [5 App. U.S.C.], except that of reporting to the

Congress, which are applicable to the Committee, shall be performed

by the Administrator of General Services in accordance with the

guidelines and procedures established by the General Services

Administration.

PART 2. OPERATIONS

Sec. 201. National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual.

(a) The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with all affected

agencies and with the concurrence of the Secretary of Energy, the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Director of Central

Intelligence, shall issue and maintain a National Industrial

Security Program Operating Manual ("Manual"). The Secretary of

Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission shall prescribe and

issue that portion of the Manual that pertains to information

classified under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended [42

U.S.C. 2011 et seq.]. The Director of Central Intelligence shall

prescribe and issue that portion of the Manual that pertains to

intelligence sources and methods, including Sensitive Compartmented

Information.

(b) The Manual shall prescribe specific requirements,

restrictions, and other safeguards that are necessary to preclude

unauthorized disclosure and control authorized disclosure of

classified information to contractors, licensees, or grantees. The

Manual shall apply to the release of classified information during

all phases of the contracting process including bidding,

negotiation, award, performance, and termination of contracts, the

licensing process, or the grant process, with or under the control

of departments or agencies.

(c) The Manual shall also prescribe requirements, restrictions,

and other safeguards that are necessary to protect special classes

of classified information, including Restricted Data, Formerly

Restricted Data, intelligence sources and methods information,

Sensitive Compartmented Information, and Special Access Program

information.

(d) In establishing particular requirements, restrictions, and

other safeguards within the Manual, the Secretary of Defense, the

Secretary of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the

Director of Central Intelligence shall take into account these

factors: (i) the damage to the national security that reasonably

could be expected to result from an unauthorized disclosure; (ii)

the existing or anticipated threat to the disclosure of

information; and (iii) the short- and long-term costs of the

requirements, restrictions, and other safeguards.

(e) To the extent that is practicable and reasonable, the

requirements, restrictions, and safeguards that the Manual

establishes for the protection of classified information by

contractors, licensees, and grantees shall be consistent with the

requirements, restrictions, and safeguards that directives

implementing Executive Order No. 12356 of April 2, 1982 [formerly

set out above], or the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,

establish for the protection of classified information by agencies.

Upon request by the Chairman of the Committee, the Secretary of

Defense shall provide an explanation and justification for any

requirement, restriction, or safeguard that results in a standard

for the protection of classified information by contractors,

licensees, and grantees that differs from the standard that applies

to agencies.

(f) The Manual shall be issued to correspond as closely as

possible to pertinent decisions of the Secretary of Defense and the

Director of Central Intelligence made pursuant to the

recommendations of the Joint Security Review Commission and to

revisions to the security classification system that result from

Presidential Review Directive 29, but in any event no later than

June 30, 1994.

Sec. 202. Operational Oversight. (a) The Secretary of Defense

shall serve as Executive Agent for inspecting and monitoring the

contractors, licensees, and grantees who require or will require

access to, or who store or will store classified information; and

for determining the eligibility for access to classified

information of contractors, licensees, and grantees and their

respective employees. The heads of agencies shall enter into

agreements with the Secretary of Defense that establish the terms

of the Secretary's responsibilities on behalf of these agency

heads.

(b) The Director of Central Intelligence retains authority over

access to intelligence sources and methods, including Sensitive

Compartmented Information. The Director of Central Intelligence may

inspect and monitcr [sic] contractor, licensee, and grantee

programs and facilities that involve access to such information or

may enter into written agreements with the Secretary of Defense, as

Executive Agent, to inspect and monitor these programs or

facilities, in whole or in part, on the Director's behalf.

(c) The Secretary of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

retain authority over access to information under their respective

programs classified under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

[42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.]. The Secretary or the Commission may

inspect and monitor contractor, licensee, and grantee programs and

facilities that involve access to such information or may enter

into written agreements with the Secretary of Defense, as Executive

Agent, to inspect and monitor these programs or facilities, in

whole or in part, on behalf of the Secretary or the Commission,

respectively.

(d) The Executive Agent shall have the authority to issue, after

consultation with affected agencies, standard forms or other

standardization that will promote the implementation of the

National Industrial Security Program.

Sec. 203. Implementation. (a) The head of each agency that enters

into classified contracts, licenses, or grants shall designate a

senior agency official to direct and administer the agency's

implementation and compliance with the National Industrial Security

Program.

(b) Agency implementing regulations, internal rules, or

guidelines shall be consistent with this order, its implementing

directives, and the Manual. Agencies shall issue these regulations,

rules, or guidelines no later than 180 days from the issuance of

the Manual. They may incorporate all or portions of the Manual by

reference.

(c) Each agency head or the senior official designated under

paragraph (a) above shall take appropriate and prompt corrective

action whenever a violation of this order, its implementing

directives, or the Manual occurs.

(d) The senior agency official designated under paragraph (a)

above shall account each year for the costs within the agency

associated with the implementation of the National Industrial

Security Program. These costs shall be reported to the Director of

the Information Security Oversight Office, who shall include them

in the reports to the President prescribed by this order.

(e) The Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the

Administrator of General Services, the Administrator of the

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and such other

agency heads or officials who may be responsible, shall amend the

Federal Acquisition Regulation to be consistent with the

implementation of the National Industrial Security Program.

(f) All contracts, licenses, or grants that involve access to

classified information and that are advertised or proposed

following the issuance of agency regulations, rules, or guidelines

described in paragraph (b) above shall comply with the National

Industrial Security Program. To the extent that is feasible,

economical, and permitted by law, agencies shall amend, modify, or

convert preexisting contracts, licenses, or grants, or previously

advertised or proposed contracts, licenses, or grants, that involve

access to classified information for operation under the National

Industrial Security Program. Any direct inspection or monitoring of

contractors, licensees, or grantees specified by this order shall

be carried out pursuant to the terms of a contract, license, grant,

or regulation.

EX. ORD. NO. 12958. CLASSIFIED NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION

Ex. Ord. No. 12958, Apr. 17, 1995, 60 F.R. 19825, as amended by

Ex. Ord. No. 12972, Sept. 18, 1995, 60 F.R. 48863; Ex. Ord. No.

13142, Nov. 19, 1999, 64 F.R. 66089, provided:

This order prescribes a uniform system for classifying,

safeguarding, and declassifying national security information. Our

democratic principles require that the American people be informed

of the activities of their Government. Also, our Nation's progress

depends on the free flow of information. Nevertheless, throughout

our history, the national interest has required that certain

information be maintained in confidence in order to protect our

citizens, our democratic institutions, and our participation within

the community of nations. Protecting information critical to our

Nation's security remains a priority. In recent years, however,

dramatic changes have altered, although not eliminated, the

national security threats that we confront. These changes provide a

greater opportunity to emphasize our commitment to open Government.

NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is

hereby ordered as follows:

-MISC3-

PART 1 - ORIGINAL CLASSIFICATION

Section 1.1. Definitions. For purposes of this order:

(a) "National security" means the national defense or foreign

relations of the United States.

(b) "Information" means any knowledge that can be communicated or

documentary material, regardless of its physical form or

characteristics, that is owned by, produced by or for, or is under

the control of the United States Government. "Control" means the

authority of the agency that originates information, or its

successor in function, to regulate access to the information.

(c) "Classified national security information" (hereafter

"classified information") means information that has been

determined pursuant to this order or any predecessor order to

require protection against unauthorized disclosure and is marked to

indicate its classified status when in documentary form.

(d) "Foreign Government Information" means:

(1) information provided to the United States Government by a

foreign government or governments, an international organization

of governments, or any element thereof, with the expectation that

the information, the source of the information, or both, are to

be held in confidence;

(2) information produced by the United States pursuant to or as

a result of a joint arrangement with a foreign government or

governments, or an international organization of governments, or

any element thereof, requiring that the information, the

arrangement, or both, are to be held in confidence; or

(3) information received and treated as "Foreign Government

Information" under the terms of a predecessor order.

(e) "Classification" means the act or process by which

information is determined to be classified information.

(f) "Original classification" means an initial determination that

information requires, in the interest of national security,

protection against unauthorized disclosure.

(g) "Original classification authority" means an individual

authorized in writing, either by the President, or by agency heads

or other officials designated by the President, to classify

information in the first instance.

(h) "Unauthorized disclosure" means a communication or physical

transfer of classified information to an unauthorized recipient.

(i) "Agency" means any "Executive agency," as defined in 5 U.S.C.

other entity within the executive branch that comes into the

possession of classified information.

(j) "Senior agency official" means the official designated by the

agency head under section 5.6(c) of this order to direct and

administer the agency's program under which information is

classified, safeguarded, and declassified.

(k) "Confidential source" means any individual or organization

that has provided, or that may reasonably be expected to provide,

information to the United States on matters pertaining to the

national security with the expectation that the information or

relationship, or both, are to be held in confidence.

(l) "Damage to the national security" means harm to the national

defense or foreign relations of the United States from the

unauthorized disclosure of information, to include the sensitivity,

value, and utility of that information.

Sec. 1.2. Classification Standards. (a) Information may be

originally classified under the terms of this order only if all of

the following conditions are met:

(1) an original classification authority is classifying the

information;

(2) the information is owned by, produced by or for, or is

under the control of the United States Government;

(3) the information falls within one or more of the categories

of information listed in section 1.5 of this order; and

(4) the original classification authority determines that the

unauthorized disclosure of the information reasonably could be

expected to result in damage to the national security and the

original classification authority is able to identify or describe

the damage.

(b) If there is significant doubt about the need to classify

information, it shall not be classified. This provision does not:

(1) amplify or modify the substantive criteria or procedures

for classification; or

(2) create any substantive or procedural rights subject to

judicial review.

(c) Classified information shall not be declassified

automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of

identical or similar information.

Sec. 1.3. Classification Levels. (a) Information may be

classified at one of the following three levels:

(1) "Top Secret" shall be applied to information, the

unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to

cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security that

the original classification authority is able to identify or

describe.

(2) "Secret" shall be applied to information, the unauthorized

disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause serious

damage to the national security that the original classification

authority is able to identify or describe.

(3) "Confidential" shall be applied to information, the

unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to

cause damage to the national security that the original

classification authority is able to identify or describe.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by statute, no other terms shall

be used to identify United States classified information.

(c) If there is significant doubt about the appropriate level of

classification, it shall be classified at the lower level.

Sec. 1.4. Classification Authority. (a) The authority to classify

information originally may be exercised only by:

(1) the President;

(2) agency heads and officials designated by the President in

the Federal Register; or

(3) United States Government officials delegated this authority

pursuant to paragraph (c), below.

(b) Officials authorized to classify information at a specified

level are also authorized to classify information at a lower level.

(c) Delegation of original classification authority.

(1) Delegations of original classification authority shall be

limited to the minimum required to administer this order. Agency

heads are responsible for ensuring that designated subordinate

officials have a demonstrable and continuing need to exercise

this authority.

(2) "Top Secret" original classification authority may be

delegated only by the President or by an agency head or official

designated pursuant to paragraph (a)(2), above.

(3) "Secret" or "Confidential" original classification

authority may be delegated only by the President; an agency head

or official designated pursuant to paragraph (a)(2), above; or

the senior agency official, provided that official has been

delegated "Top Secret" original classification authority by the

agency head.

(4) Each delegation of original classification authority shall

be in writing and the authority shall not be redelegated except

as provided in this order. Each delegation shall identify the

official by name or position title.

(d) Original classification authorities must receive training in

original classification as provided in this order and its

implementing directives.

(e) Exceptional cases. When an employee, contractor, licensee,

certificate holder, or grantee of an agency that does not have

original classification authority originates information believed

by that person to require classification, the information shall be

protected in a manner consistent with this order and its

implementing directives. The information shall be transmitted

promptly as provided under this order or its implementing

directives to the agency that has appropriate subject matter

interest and classification authority with respect to this

information. That agency shall decide within 30 days whether to

classify this information. If it is not clear which agency has

classification responsibility for this information, it shall be

sent to the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office.

The Director shall determine the agency having primary subject

matter interest and forward the information, with appropriate

recommendations, to that agency for a classification determination.

Sec. 1.5. Classification Categories.

Information may not be considered for classification unless it

concerns:

(a) military plans, weapons systems, or operations;

the national security;

(f) United States Government programs for safeguarding nuclear

materials or facilities; or

(g) vulnerabilities or capabilities of systems, installations,

projects or plans relating to the national security.

Sec. 1.6. Duration of Classification. (a) At the time of original

classification, the original classification authority shall attempt

to establish a specific date or event for declassification based

upon the duration of the national security sensitivity of the

information. The date or event shall not exceed the time frame in

paragraph (b), below.

(b) If the original classification authority cannot determine an

earlier specific date or event for declassification, information

shall be marked for declassification 10 years from the date of the

original decision, except as provided in paragraph (d), below.

(c) An original classification authority may extend the duration

of classification or reclassify specific information for successive

periods not to exceed 10 years at a time if such action is

consistent with the standards and procedures established under this

order. This provision does not apply to information contained in

records that are more than 25 years old and have been determined to

have permanent historical value under title 44, United States Code.

(d) At the time of original classification, the original

classification authority may exempt from declassification within 10

years specific information, the unauthorized disclosure of which

could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the national

security for a period greater than that provided in paragraph (b),

above, and the release of which could reasonably be expected to:

(1) reveal an intelligence source, method, or activity, or a

cryptologic system or activity;

(2) reveal information that would assist in the development or

use of weapons of mass destruction;

(3) reveal information that would impair the development or use

of technology within a United States weapons system;

officials to protect the President, the Vice President, and other

individuals for whom protection services, in the interest of

national security, are authorized; or

(8) violate a statute, treaty, or international agreement.

(e) Information marked for an indefinite duration of

classification under predecessor orders, for example, "Originating

Agency's Determination Required," or information classified under

predecessor orders that contains no declassification instructions

shall be declassified in accordance with part 3 of this order.

Sec. 1.7. Identification and Markings. (a) At the time of

original classification, the following shall appear on the face of

each classified document, or shall be applied to other classified

media in an appropriate manner:

1.3 of this order;

(2) the identity, by name or personal identifier and position,

of the original classification authority;

(3) the agency and office of origin, if not otherwise evident;

(4) declassification instructions, which shall indicate one of

the following:

(A) the date or event for declassification, as prescribed in

section 1.6(a) or section 1.6(c); or

(B) the date that is 10 years from the date of original

classification, as prescribed in section 1.6(b); or

(C) the exemption category from declassification, as

cites the applicable classification categories in section 1.5 of

this order.

(b) Specific information contained in paragraph (a), above, may

be excluded if it would reveal additional classified information.

(c) Each classified document shall, by marking or other means,

indicate which portions are classified, with the applicable

classification level, which portions are exempt from

declassification under section 1.6(d) of this order, and which

portions are unclassified. In accordance with standards prescribed

in directives issued under this order, the Director of the

Information Security Oversight Office may grant waivers of this

requirement for specified classes of documents or information. The

Director shall revoke any waiver upon a finding of abuse.

(d) Markings implementing the provisions of this order, including

abbreviations and requirements to safeguard classified working

papers, shall conform to the standards prescribed in implementing

directives issued pursuant to this order.

(e) Foreign government information shall retain its original

classification markings or shall be assigned a U.S. classification

that provides a degree of protection at least equivalent to that

required by the entity that furnished the information.

(f) Information assigned a level of classification under this or

predecessor orders shall be considered as classified at that level

of classification despite the omission of other required markings.

Whenever such information is used in the derivative classification

process or is reviewed for possible declassification, holders of

such information shall coordinate with an appropriate

classification authority for the application of omitted markings.

(g) The classification authority shall, whenever practicable, use

a classified addendum whenever classified information constitutes a

small portion of an otherwise unclassified document.

Sec. 1.8. Classification Prohibitions and Limitations. (a) In no

case shall information be classified in order to:

(1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative

error;

(2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency;

(3) restrain competition; or

(4) prevent or delay the release of information that does not

require protection in the interest of national security.

(b) Basic scientific research information not clearly related to

the national security may not be classified.

(c) Information may not be reclassified after it has been

declassified and released to the public under proper authority.

after an agency has received a request for it under the Freedom of

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) or the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.

552a), or the mandatory review provisions of section 3.6 of this

order only if such classification meets the requirements of this

order and is accomplished on a document-by-document basis with the

personal participation or under the direction of the agency head,

the deputy agency head, or the senior agency official designated

under section 5.6 of this order. This provision does not apply to

classified information contained in records that are more than 25

years old and have been determined to have permanent historical

value under title 44, United States Code.

(e) Compilations of items of information which are individually

unclassified may be classified if the compiled information reveals

an additional association or relationship that:

(1) meets the standards for classification under this order;

and

(2) is not otherwise revealed in the individual items of

information.

As used in this order, "compilation" means an aggregation of

pre-existing unclassified items of information.

Sec. 1.9. Classification Challenges. (a) Authorized holders of

information who, in good faith, believe that its classification

status is improper are encouraged and expected to challenge the

classification status of the information in accordance with agency

procedures established under paragraph (b), below.

(b) In accordance with implementing directives issued pursuant to

this order, an agency head or senior agency official shall

establish procedures under which authorized holders of information

are encouraged and expected to challenge the classification of

information that they believe is improperly classified or

unclassified. These procedures shall assure that:

(1) individuals are not subject to retribution for bringing

such actions;

(2) an opportunity is provided for review by an impartial

official or panel; and

(3) individuals are advised of their right to appeal agency

decisions to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals

Panel established by section 5.4 of this order.

PART 2 - DERIVATIVE CLASSIFICATION

Sec. 2.1. Definitions. For purposes of this order:

(a) "Derivative classification" means the incorporating,

paraphrasing, restating or generating in new form information that

is already classified, and marking the newly developed material

consistent with the classification markings that apply to the

source information. Derivative classification includes the

classification of information based on classification guidance. The

duplication or reproduction of existing classified information is

not derivative classification.

(b) "Classification guidance" means any instruction or source

that prescribes the classification of specific information.

(c) "Classification guide" means a documentary form of

classification guidance issued by an original classification

authority that identifies the elements of information regarding a

specific subject that must be classified and establishes the level

classified information that is incorporated, paraphrased, restated,

or generated in new form into a new document.

(e) "Multiple sources" means two or more source documents,

classification guides, or a combination of both.

Sec. 2.2. Use of Derivative Classification. (a) Persons who only

reproduce, extract, or summarize classified information, or who

only apply classification markings derived from source material or

as directed by a classification guide, need not possess original

classification authority.

(b) Persons who apply derivative classification markings shall:

(1) observe and respect original classification decisions; and

(2) carry forward to any newly created documents the pertinent

classification markings. For information derivatively classified

based on multiple sources, the derivative classifier shall carry

forward:

(A) the date or event for declassification that corresponds

to the longest period of classification among the sources; and

(B) a listing of these sources on or attached to the official

file or record copy.

Sec. 2.3. Classification Guides. (a) Agencies with original

classification authority shall prepare classification guides to

facilitate the proper and uniform derivative classification of

information. These guides shall conform to standards contained in

directives issued under this order.

(b) Each guide shall be approved personally and in writing by an

official who:

(1) has program or supervisory responsibility over the

information or is the senior agency official; and

(2) is authorized to classify information originally at the

highest level of classification prescribed in the guide.

(c) Agencies shall establish procedures to assure that

classification guides are reviewed and updated as provided in

directives issued under this order.

PART 3 - DECLASSIFICATION AND DOWNGRADING

Sec. 3.1. Definitions. For purposes of this order:

(a) "Declassification" means the authorized change in the status

of information from classified information to unclassified

information.

(b) "Automatic declassification" means the declassification of

information based solely upon:

(1) the occurrence of a specific date or event as determined by

the original classification authority; or

(2) the expiration of a maximum time frame for duration of

classification established under this order.

(c) "Declassification authority" means:

(1) the official who authorized the original classification, if

that official is still serving in the same position;

(2) the originator's current successor in function;

(3) a supervisory official of either; or

(4) officials delegated declassification authority in writing

by the agency head or the senior agency official.

(d) "Mandatory declassification review" means the review for

declassification of classified information in response to a request

for declassification that meets the requirements under section 3.6

of this order.

(e) "Systematic declassification review" means the review for

declassification of classified information contained in records

that have been determined by the Archivist of the United States

("Archivist") to have permanent historical value in accordance with

chapter 33 of title 44, United States Code.

(f) "Declassification guide" means written instructions issued by

a declassification authority that describes the elements of

information regarding a specific subject that may be declassified

and the elements that must remain classified.

(g) "Downgrading" means a determination by a declassification

authority that information classified and safeguarded at a

specified level shall be classified and safeguarded at a lower

level.

(h) "File series" means documentary material, regardless of its

physical form or characteristics, that is arranged in accordance

with a filing system or maintained as a unit because it pertains to

the same function or activity.

Sec. 3.2. Authority for Declassification. (a) Information shall

be declassified as soon as it no longer meets the standards for

classification under this order.

(b) It is presumed that information that continues to meet the

classification requirements under this order requires continued

protection. In some exceptional cases, however, the need to protect

such information may be outweighed by the public interest in

disclosure of the information, and in these cases the information

should be declassified. When such questions arise, they shall be

referred to the agency head or the senior agency official. That

official will determine, as an exercise of discretion, whether the

public interest in disclosure outweighs the damage to national

security that might reasonably be expected from disclosure. This

provision does not:

(1) amplify or modify the substantive criteria or procedures

for classification; or

(2) create any substantive or procedural rights subject to

judicial review.

(c) If the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office

determines that information is classified in violation of this

order, the Director may require the information to be declassified

by the agency that originated the classification. Any such decision

by the Director may be appealed to the President through the

Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The

information shall remain classified pending a prompt decision on

the appeal.

(d) The provisions of this section shall also apply to agencies

that, under the terms of this order, do not have original

classification authority, but had such authority under predecessor

orders.

Sec. 3.3. Transferred Information. (a) In the case of classified

information transferred in conjunction with a transfer of

functions, and not merely for storage purposes, the receiving

agency shall be deemed to be the originating agency for purposes of

this order.

(b) In the case of classified information that is not officially

transferred as described in paragraph (a), above, but that

originated in an agency that has ceased to exist and for which

there is no successor agency, each agency in possession of such

information shall be deemed to be the originating agency for

purposes of this order. Such information may be declassified or

downgraded by the agency in possession after consultation with any

other agency that has an interest in the subject matter of the

information.

(c) Classified information accessioned into the National Archives

and Records Administration ("National Archives") as of the

effective date of this order shall be declassified or downgraded by

the Archivist in accordance with this order, the directives issued

pursuant to this order, agency declassification guides, and any

existing procedural agreement between the Archivist and the

relevant agency head.

(d) The originating agency shall take all reasonable steps to

declassify classified information contained in records determined

to have permanent historical value before they are accessioned into

the National Archives. However, the Archivist may require that

records containing classified information be accessioned into the

National Archives when necessary to comply with the provisions of

the Federal Records Act [see References in Text note set out under

section 3603 of Title 44, Public Printing and Documents]. This

provision does not apply to information being transferred to the

Archivist pursuant to section 2203 of title 44, United States Code,

or information for which the National Archives and Records

Administration serves as the custodian of the records of an agency

or organization that goes out of existence.

(e) To the extent practicable, agencies shall adopt a system of

records management that will facilitate the public release of

documents at the time such documents are declassified pursuant to

the provisions for automatic declassification in sections 1.6 and

3.4 of this order.

Sec. 3.4. Automatic Declassification. (a) Subject to paragraph

(b), below, within six and one half years from the date of this

order, all classified information contained in records that (1) are

more than 25 years old, and (2) have been determined to have

permanent historical value under title 44, United States Code,

shall be automatically declassified whether or not the records have

been reviewed. Subsequently, all classified information in such

records shall be automatically declassified no longer than 25 years

from the date of its original classification, except as provided in

paragraph (b), below. For records otherwise subject to this

paragraph for which a review or assessment conducted by the agency

and confirmed by the Information Security Oversight Office has

determined that they: (1) contain information that was created by

or is under the control of more than one agency, or (2) are within

file series containing information that almost invariably pertains

to intelligence sources or methods, all classified information in

such records shall be automatically declassified, whether or not

the records have been reviewed, within 8 years from the date of

this order, except as provided in paragraph (b), below. For records

that contain information that becomes subject to automatic

declassification after the dates otherwise established in this

paragraph, all classified information in such records shall be

automatically declassified, whether or not the records have been

reviewed on December 31 of the year that is 25 years from the

origin of the information, except as provided in paragraph (b),

below.

(b) An agency head may exempt from automatic declassification

under paragraph (a), above, specific information, the release of

which should be expected to:

(1) reveal the identity of a confidential human source, or

reveal information about the application of an intelligence

source or method, or reveal the identity of a human intelligence

source when the unauthorized disclosure of that source would

clearly and demonstrably damage the national security interests

of the United States;

(2) reveal information that would assist in the development or

use of weapons of mass destruction;

(3) reveal information that would impair U.S. cryptologic

systems or activities;

(4) reveal information that would impair the application of

state of the art technology within a U.S. weapon system;

(5) reveal actual U.S. military war plans that remain in

effect;

(6) reveal information that would seriously and demonstrably

impair relations between the United States and a foreign

government, or seriously and demonstrably undermine ongoing

diplomatic activities of the United States;

(7) reveal information that would clearly and demonstrably

impair the current ability of United States Government officials

to protect the President, Vice President, and other officials for

whom protection services, in the interest of national security,

are authorized;

(8) reveal information that would seriously and demonstrably

impair current national security emergency preparedness plans; or

(9) violate a statute, treaty, or international agreement.

(c) No later than the effective date of this order, an agency

head shall notify the President through the Assistant to the

President for National Security Affairs of any specific file series

of records for which a review or assessment has determined that the

information within those file series almost invariably falls within

one or more of the exemption categories listed in paragraph (b),

above, and which the agency proposes to exempt from automatic

declassification. The notification shall include:

(1) a description of the file series;

(2) an explanation of why the information within the file

series is almost invariably exempt from automatic

declassification and why the information must remain classified

for a longer period of time; and

(3) except for the identity of a confidential human source or a

human intelligence source, as provided in paragraph (b), above, a

specific date or event for declassification of the information.

The President may direct the agency head not to exempt the file

series or to declassify the information within that series at an

earlier date than recommended.

(d) At least 180 days before information is automatically

declassified under this section, an agency head or senior agency

official shall notify the Director of the Information Security

Oversight Office, serving as Executive Secretary of the Interagency

Security Classification Appeals Panel, of any specific information

beyond that included in a notification to the President under

paragraph (c), above, that the agency proposes to exempt from

automatic declassification. The notification shall include:

(1) a description of the information;

(2) an explanation of why the information is exempt from

automatic declassification and must remain classified for a

longer period of time; and

(3) except for the identity of a confidential human source or a

human intelligence source, as provided in paragraph (b), above, a

specific date or event for declassification of the information.

The Panel may direct the agency not to exempt the information or

to declassify it at an earlier date than recommended. The agency

head may appeal such a decision to the President through the

Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The

information will remain classified while such an appeal is

pending.

(e) No later than the effective date of this order, the agency

head or senior agency official shall provide the Director of the

Information Security Oversight Office with a plan for compliance

with the requirements of this section, including the establishment

of interim target dates. Each such plan shall include the

requirement that the agency declassify at least 15 percent of the

records affected by this section no later than 1 year from the

effective date of this order, and similar commitments for

subsequent years until the effective date for automatic

declassification.

(f) Information exempted from automatic declassification under

this section shall remain subject to the mandatory and systematic

declassification review provisions of this order.

(g) The Secretary of State shall determine when the United States

should commence negotiations with the appropriate officials of a

foreign government or international organization of governments to

modify any treaty or international agreement that requires the

classification of information contained in records affected by this

section for a period longer than 25 years from the date of its

creation, unless the treaty or international agreement pertains to

information that may otherwise remain classified beyond 25 years

under this section.

Sec. 3.5. Systematic Declassification Review. (a) Each agency

that has originated classified information under this order or its

predecessors shall establish and conduct a program for systematic

declassification review. This program shall apply to historically

valuable records exempted from automatic declassification under

section 3.4 of this order. Agencies shall prioritize the systematic

review of records based upon:

(1) recommendations of the Information Security Policy Advisory

Council, established in section 5.5 of this order, on specific

subject areas for systematic review concentration; or

(2) the degree of researcher interest and the likelihood of

declassification upon review.

(b) The Archivist shall conduct a systematic declassification

review program for classified information: (1) accessioned into the

National Archives as of the effective date of this order; (2)

information transferred to the Archivist pursuant to section 2203

of title 44, United States Code; and (3) information for which the

National Archives and Records Administration serves as the

custodian of the records of an agency or organization that has gone

out of existence. This program shall apply to pertinent records no

later than 25 years from the date of their creation. The Archivist

shall establish priorities for the systematic review of these

records based upon the recommendations of the Information Security

Policy Advisory Council; or the degree of researcher interest and

the likelihood of declassification upon review. These records shall

be reviewed in accordance with the standards of this order, its

implementing directives, and declassification guides provided to

the Archivist by each agency that originated the records. The

Director of the Information Security Oversight Office shall assure

that agencies provide the Archivist with adequate and current

declassification guides.

(c) After consultation with affected agencies, the Secretary of

Defense may establish special procedures for systematic review for

declassification of classified cryptologic information, and the

Director of Central Intelligence may establish special procedures

for systematic review for declassification of classified

information pertaining to intelligence activities (including

special activities), or intelligence sources or methods.

Sec. 3.6. Mandatory Declassification Review. (a) Except as

provided in paragraph (b), below, all information classified under

this order or predecessor orders shall be subject to a review for

declassification by the originating agency if:

(1) the request for a review describes the document or material

containing the information with sufficient specificity to enable

the agency to locate it with a reasonable amount of effort;

(2) the information is not exempted from search and review

under the Central Intelligence Agency Information Act [see Short

Title of 1984 Amendment note, set out under section 401 of this

title]; and

(3) the information has not been reviewed for declassification

within the past 2 years. If the agency has reviewed the

information within the past 2 years, or the information is the

subject of pending litigation, the agency shall inform the

requester of this fact and of the requester's appeal rights.

(b) Information originated by:

(1) the incumbent President;

(2) the incumbent President's White House Staff;

(3) committees, commissions, or boards appointed by the

incumbent President; or

(4) other entities within the Executive Office of the President

that solely advise and assist the incumbent President is exempted

from the provisions of paragraph (a), above. However, the

Archivist shall have the authority to review, downgrade, and

declassify information of former Presidents under the control of

the Archivist pursuant to sections 2107, 2111, 2111 note, or 2203

of title 44, United States Code. Review procedures developed by

the Archivist shall provide for consultation with agencies having

primary subject matter interest and shall be consistent with the

provisions of applicable laws or lawful agreements that pertain

to the respective Presidential papers or records. Agencies with

primary subject matter interest shall be notified promptly of the

Archivist's decision. Any final decision by the Archivist may be

appealed by the requester or an agency to the Interagency

Security Classification Appeals Panel. The information shall

remain classified pending a prompt decision on the appeal.

(c) Agencies conducting a mandatory review for declassification

shall declassify information that no longer meets the standards for

classification under this order. They shall release this

information unless withholding is otherwise authorized and

warranted under applicable law.

(d) In accordance with directives issued pursuant to this order,

agency heads shall develop procedures to process requests for the

mandatory review of classified information. These procedures shall

apply to information classified under this or predecessor orders.

They also shall provide a means for administratively appealing a

denial of a mandatory review request, and for notifying the

requester of the right to appeal a final agency decision to the

Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel.

(e) After consultation with affected agencies, the Secretary of

Defense shall develop special procedures for the review of

cryptologic information, the Director of Central Intelligence shall

develop special procedures for the review of information pertaining

to intelligence activities (including special activities), or

intelligence sources or methods, and the Archivist shall develop

special procedures for the review of information accessioned into

the National Archives.

Sec. 3.7. Processing Requests and Reviews. In response to a

request for information under the Freedom of Information Act [5

U.S.C. 552], the Privacy Act of 1974 [5 U.S.C. 552a], or the

mandatory review provisions of this order, or pursuant to the

automatic declassification or systematic review provisions of this

order:

(a) An agency may refuse to confirm or deny the existence or

nonexistence of requested information whenever the fact of its

existence or nonexistence is itself classified under this order.

(b) When an agency receives any request for documents in its

custody that contain information that was originally classified by

another agency, or comes across such documents in the process of

the automatic declassification or systematic review provisions of

this order, it shall refer copies of any request and the pertinent

documents to the originating agency for processing, and may, after

consultation with the originating agency, inform any requester of

the referral unless such association is itself classified under

this order. In cases in which the originating agency determines in

writing that a response under paragraph (a), above, is required,

the referring agency shall respond to the requester in accordance

with that paragraph.

Sec. 3.8. Declassification Database. (a) The Archivist in

conjunction with the Director of the Information Security Oversight

Office and those agencies that originate classified information,

shall establish a Governmentwide database of information that has

been declassified. The Archivist shall also explore other possible

uses of technology to facilitate the declassification process.

(b) Agency heads shall fully cooperate with the Archivist in

these efforts.

(c) Except as otherwise authorized and warranted by law, all

declassified information contained within the database established

under paragraph (a), above, shall be available to the public.

communication of information by electronic means.

(h) "Special access program" means a program established for a

specific class of classified information that imposes safeguarding

and access requirements that exceed those normally required for

information at the same classification level.

Sec. 4.2. General Restrictions on Access. (a) A person may have

access to classified information provided that:

(1) a favorable determination of eligibility for access has

been made by an agency head or the agency head's designee;

(2) the person has signed an approved nondisclosure agreement;

and

(3) the person has a need-to-know the information.

(b) Classified information shall remain under the control of the

agency shall safeguard foreign government information under

standards that provide a degree of protection at least equivalent

to that required by the government or international organization of

governments that furnished the information. When adequate to

achieve equivalency, these standards may be less restrictive than

the safeguarding standards that ordinarily apply to United States

"Confidential" information, including allowing access to

individuals with a need-to-know who have not otherwise been cleared

for access to classified information or executed an approved

nondisclosure agreement.

(h) Except as provided by statute or directives issued pursuant

to this order, classified information originating in one agency may

not be disseminated outside any other agency to which it has been

intelligence activities (including special activities, but not

including military operational, strategic and tactical programs),

or intelligence sources or methods, this function will be exercised

by the Director of Central Intelligence. These officials shall keep

the number of these programs at an absolute minimum, and shall

establish them only upon a specific finding that:

(1) the vulnerability of, or threat to, specific information is

exceptional; and

(2) the normal criteria for determining eligibility for access

applicable to information classified at the same level are not

deemed sufficient to protect the information from unauthorized

disclosure; or

(3) the program is required by statute.

(b) Requirements and Limitations. (1) Special access programs

shall be limited to programs in which the number of persons who

will have access ordinarily will be reasonably small and

commensurate with the objective of providing enhanced protection

for the information involved.

(2) Each agency head shall establish and maintain a system of

accounting for special access programs consistent with directives

issued pursuant to this order.

(3) Special access programs shall be subject to the oversight

program established under section 5.6(c) of this order. In

addition, the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office

shall be afforded access to these programs, in accordance with the

security requirements of each program, in order to perform the

functions assigned to the Information Security Oversight Office

under this order. An agency head may limit access to a special

access program to the Director and no more than one other employee

of the Information Security Oversight Office; or, for special

access programs that are extraordinarily sensitive and vulnerable,

to the Director only.

(4) The agency head or principal deputy shall review annually

each special access program to determine whether it continues to

meet the requirements of this order.

(5) Upon request, an agency shall brief the Assistant to the

President for National Security Affairs, or his or her designee, on

any or all of the agency's special access programs.

(c) Within 180 days after the effective date of this order, each

agency head or principal deputy shall review all existing special

access programs under the agency's jurisdiction. These officials

shall terminate any special access programs that do not clearly

meet the provisions of this order. Each existing special access

program that an agency head or principal deputy validates shall be

treated as if it were established on the effective date of this

order.

(d) Nothing in this order shall supersede any requirement made by

or under 10 U.S.C. 119.

Sec. 4.5. Access by Historical Researchers and Former

Presidential Appointees. (a) The requirement in section 4.2(a)(3)

of this order that access to classified information may be granted

only to individuals who have a need-to-know the information may be

waived for persons who:

(1) are engaged in historical research projects; or

(2) previously have occupied policy-making positions to which

they were appointed by the President.

(b) Waivers under this section may be granted only if the agency

head or senior agency official of the originating agency:

(1) determines in writing that access is consistent with the

interest of national security;

(2) takes appropriate steps to protect classified information

from unauthorized disclosure or compromise, and ensures that the

information is safeguarded in a manner consistent with this

order; and

(3) limits the access granted to former Presidential appointees

to items that the person originated, reviewed, signed, or

received while serving as a Presidential appointee.

The national interest requires that certain information be

life.

Security policies designed to protect classified information must

ensure consistent, cost effective, and efficient protection of our

Nation's classified information, while providing fair and equitable

treatment to those Americans upon whom we rely to guard our

national security.

This order establishes a uniform Federal personnel security

possible, who has a regular need for access to classified

information that, in the discretion of the agency head, would

reveal:

(1) the identity of covert agents as defined in the Intelligence

Identities Protection Act of 1982 (50 U.S.C. 421 [et seq.]);

(2) technical or specialized national intelligence collection and

processing systems that, if disclosed in an unauthorized manner,

would substantially negate or impair the effectiveness of the

system;

(3) the details of:

(A) the nature, contents, algorithm, preparation, or use of any

code, cipher, or cryptographic system or;

(B) the design, construction, functioning, maintenance, or repair

of any cryptographic equipment; but not including information

concerning the use of cryptographic equipment and services;

(4) particularly sensitive special access programs, the

disclosure of which would substantially negate or impair the

effectiveness of the information or activity involved; or

(5) especially sensitive nuclear weapons design information (but

only for those positions that have been certified as being of a

high degree of importance or sensitivity, as described in section

145(f) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended [42 U.S.C.

2165(f)]).

(b) An employee may not be granted access, or hold a position

designated as requiring access, to information described in

subsection (a) unless, as a condition of access to such

information, the employee:

(1) files with the head of the agency a financial disclosure

report, including information with respect to the spouse and

dependent children of the employee, as part of all background

investigations or reinvestigations;

(2) is subject to annual financial disclosure requirements, if

selected by the agency head; and

(3) files relevant information concerning foreign travel, as

determined by the Security Policy Board.

(c) Not later than 180 days after the effective date of this

order, the Security Policy Board shall develop procedures for the

implementation of this section, including a standard financial

disclosure form for use by employees under subsection (b) of this

section, and agency heads shall identify certain employees, by

position or category, who are subject to annual financial

disclosure.

Sec. 1.4. Use of Automated Financial Record Data Bases. As part

of all investigations and reinvestigations described in section

1.2(d) of this order, agencies may request the Department of the

Treasury, under terms and conditions prescribed by the Secretary of

the Treasury, to search automated data bases consisting of reports

of currency transactions by financial institutions, international

transportation of currency or monetary instruments, foreign bank

and financial accounts, transactions under $10,000 that are

reported as possible money laundering violations, and records of

foreign travel.

Sec. 1.5. Employee Education and Assistance. The head of each

agency that grants access to classified information shall establish

a program for employees with access to classified information to:

(a) educate employees about individual responsibilities under this

order; and

(b) inform employees about guidance and assistance available

concerning issues that may affect their eligibility for access to

classified information, including sources of assistance for

employees who have questions or concerns about financial matters,

mental health, or substance abuse.

PART 2 - ACCESS ELIGIBILITY POLICY AND PROCEDURE

Sec. 2.1. Eligibility Determinations. (a) Determinations of

eligibility for access to classified information shall be based on

criteria established under this order. Such determinations are

separate from suitability determinations with respect to the hiring

or retention of persons for employment by the government or any

other personnel actions.

(b) The number of employees that each agency determines are

eligible for access to classified information shall be kept to the

minimum required for the conduct of agency functions.

(1) Eligibility for access to classified information shall not be

requested or granted solely to permit entry to, or ease of movement

within, controlled areas when the employee has no need for access

and access to classified information may reasonably be prevented.

Where circumstances indicate employees may be inadvertently exposed

to classified information in the course of their duties, agencies

are authorized to grant or deny, in their discretion, facility

access approvals to such employees based on an appropriate level of

investigation as determined by each agency.

(2) Except in agencies where eligibility for access is a

mandatory condition of employment, eligibility for access to

classified information shall only be requested or granted based on

a demonstrated, foreseeable need for access. Requesting or

approving eligibility in excess of actual requirements is

prohibited.

(3) Eligibility for access to classified information may be

granted where there is a temporary need for access, such as

one-time participation in a classified project, provided the

investigative standards established under this order have been

satisfied. In such cases, a fixed date or event for expiration

shall be identified and access to classified information shall be

limited to information related to the particular project or

assignment.

(4) Access to classified information shall be terminated when an

employee no longer has a need for access.

Sec. 2.2. Level of Access Approval. (a) The level at which an

access approval is granted for an employee shall be limited, and

relate directly, to the level of classified information for which

there is a need for access. Eligibility for access to a higher

level of classified information includes eligibility for access to

information classified at a lower level.

(b) Access to classified information relating to a special access

program shall be granted in accordance with procedures established

by the head of the agency that created the program or, for programs

pertaining to intelligence activities (including special activities

but not including military operational, strategic, and tactical

programs) or intelligence sources and methods, by the Director of

Central Intelligence. To the extent possible and consistent with

the national security interests of the United States, such

procedures shall be consistent with the standards and procedures

established by and under this order.

Sec. 2.3. Temporary Access to Higher Levels. (a) An employee who

has been determined to be eligible for access to classified

information based on favorable adjudication of a completed

investigation may be granted temporary access to a higher level

where security personnel authorized by the agency head to make

access eligibility determinations find that such access:

(1) is necessary to meet operational or contractual exigencies

not expected to be of a recurring nature;

(2) will not exceed 180 days; and

(3) is limited to specific, identifiable information that is made

the subject of a written access record.

(b) Where the access granted under subsection (a) of this section

involves another agency's classified information, that agency must

concur before access to its information is granted.

Sec. 2.4. Reciprocal Acceptance of Access Eligibility

Determinations. (a) Except when an agency has substantial

information indicating that an employee may not satisfy the

standards in section 3.1 of this order, background investigations

and eligibility determinations conducted under this order shall be

mutually and reciprocally accepted by all agencies.

(b) Except where there is substantial information indicating that

the employee may not satisfy the standards in section 3.1 of this

order, an employee with existing access to a special access program

shall not be denied eligibility for access to another special

access program at the same sensitivity level as determined

personally by the agency head or deputy agency head, or have an

existing access eligibility readjudicated, so long as the employee

has a need for access to the information involved.

(c) This section shall not preclude agency heads from

establishing additional, but not duplicative, investigative or

adjudicative procedures for a special access program or for

candidates for detail or assignment to their agencies, where such

procedures are required in exceptional circumstances to protect the

national security.

(d) Where temporary eligibility for access is granted under

sections 2.3 or 3.3 of this order or where the determination of

eligibility for access is conditional, the fact of such temporary

or conditional access shall be conveyed to any other agency that

considers affording the employee access to its information.

Sec. 2.5. Specific Access Requirement. (a) Employees who have

been determined to be eligible for access to classified information

shall be given access to classified information only where there is

a need-to-know that information.

(b) It is the responsibility of employees who are authorized

holders of classified information to verify that a prospective

recipient's eligibility for access has been granted by an

authorized agency official and to ensure that a need-to-know exists

prior to allowing such access, and to challenge requests for access

that do not appear well-founded.

Sec. 2.6. Access by Non-United States Citizens. (a) Where there

are compelling reasons in furtherance of an agency mission,

immigrant alien and foreign national employees who possess a

special expertise may, in the discretion of the agency, be granted

limited access to classified information only for specific

programs, projects, contracts, licenses, certificates, or grants

for which there is a need for access. Such individuals shall not be

eligible for access to any greater level of classified information

than the United States Government has determined may be releasable

to the country of which the subject is currently a citizen, and

such limited access may be approved only if the prior 10 years of

the subject's life can be appropriately investigated. If there are

any doubts concerning granting access, additional lawful

investigative procedures shall be fully pursued.

(b) Exceptions to these requirements may be permitted only by the

agency head or the senior agency official designated under section

6.1 of this order to further substantial national security

interests.

PART 3 - ACCESS ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS

Sec. 3.1. Standards. (a) No employee shall be deemed to be

eligible for access to classified information merely by reason of

Federal service or contracting, licensee, certificate holder, or

grantee status, or as a matter of right or privilege, or as a

result of any particular title, rank, position, or affiliation.

(b) Except as provided in sections 2.6 and 3.3 of this order,

eligibility for access to classified information shall be granted

only to employees who are United States citizens for whom an

appropriate investigation has been completed and whose personal and

professional history affirmatively indicates loyalty to the United

States, strength of character, trustworthiness, honesty,

reliability, discretion, and sound judgment, as well as freedom

from conflicting allegiances and potential for coercion, and

willingness and ability to abide by regulations governing the use,

handling, and protection of classified information. A determination

of eligibility for access to such information is a discretionary

security decision based on judgments by appropriately trained

adjudicative personnel. Eligibility shall be granted only where

facts and circumstances indicate access to classified information

is clearly consistent with the national security interests of the

United States, and any doubt shall be resolved in favor of the

national security.

(c) The United States Government does not discriminate on the

basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability,

or sexual orientation in granting access to classified information.

(d) In determining eligibility for access under this order,

agencies may investigate and consider any matter that relates to

the determination of whether access is clearly consistent with the

interests of national security. No inference concerning the

standards in this section may be raised solely on the basis of the

sexual orientation of the employee.

(e) No negative inference concerning the standards in this

section may be raised solely on the basis of mental health

counseling. Such counseling can be a positive factor in eligibility

determinations. However, mental health counseling, where relevant

to the adjudication of access to classified information, may

justify further inquiry to determine whether the standards of

subsection (b) of this section are satisfied, and mental health may

be considered where it directly relates to those standards.

(f) Not later than 180 days after the effective date of this

order, the Security Policy Board shall develop a common set of

adjudicative guidelines for determining eligibility for access to

classified information, including access to special access

programs.

Sec. 3.2. Basis for Eligibility Approval. (a) Eligibility

determinations for access to classified information shall be based

on information concerning the applicant or employee that is

acquired through the investigation conducted pursuant to this order

or otherwise available to security officials and shall be made part

of the applicant's or employee's security record. Applicants or

employees shall be required to provide relevant information

pertaining to their background and character for use in

investigating and adjudicating their eligibility for access.

(b) Not later than 180 days after the effective date of this

order, the Security Policy Board shall develop a common set of

investigative standards for background investigations for access to

classified information. These standards may vary for the various

levels of access.

(c) Nothing in this order shall prohibit an agency from utilizing

any lawful investigative procedure in addition to the investigative

requirements set forth in this order and its implementing

regulations to resolve issues that may arise during the course of a

background investigation or reinvestigation.

Sec. 3.3. Special Circumstances. (a) In exceptional circumstances

where official functions must be performed prior to the completion

of the investigative and adjudication process, temporary

eligibility for access to classified information may be granted to

an employee while the initial investigation is underway. When such

eligibility is granted, the initial investigation shall be

expedited.

(1) Temporary eligibility for access under this section shall

include a justification, and the employee must be notified in

writing that further access is expressly conditioned on the

favorable completion of the investigation and issuance of an access

eligibility approval. Access will be immediately terminated, along

with any assignment requiring an access eligibility approval, if

such approval is not granted.

(2) Temporary eligibility for access may be granted only by

security personnel authorized by the agency head to make access

eligibility determinations and shall be based on minimum

investigative standards developed by the Security Policy Board not

later than 180 days after the effective date of this order.

(3) Temporary eligibility for access may be granted only to

particular, identified categories of classified information

necessary to perform the lawful and authorized functions that are

the basis for the granting of temporary access.

(b) Nothing in subsection (a) shall be construed as altering the

authority of an agency head to waive requirements for granting

access to classified information pursuant to statutory authority.

(c) Where access has been terminated under section 2.1(b)(4) of

this order and a new need for access arises, access eligibility up

to the same level shall be reapproved without further investigation

as to employees who were determined to be eligible based on a

favorable adjudication of an investigation completed within the

prior 5 years, provided they have remained employed by the same

employer during the period in question, the employee certifies in

writing that there has been no change in the relevant information

provided by the employee for the last background investigation, and

there is no information that would tend to indicate the employee

may no longer satisfy the standards established by this order for

access to classified information.

(d) Access eligibility shall be reapproved for individuals who

were determined to be eligible based on a favorable adjudication of

an investigation completed within the prior 5 years and who have

been retired or otherwise separated from United States Government

employment for not more than 2 years; provided there is no

indication the individual may no longer satisfy the standards of

this order, the individual certifies in writing that there has been

no change in the relevant information provided by the individual

for the last background investigation, and an appropriate record

check reveals no unfavorable information.

Sec. 3.4. Reinvestigation Requirements. (a) Because circumstances

and characteristics may change dramatically over time and thereby

alter the eligibility of employees for continued access to

classified information, reinvestigations shall be conducted with

the same priority and care as initial investigations.

(b) Employees who are eligible for access to classified

information shall be the subject of periodic reinvestigations and

may also be reinvestigated if, at any time, there is reason to

believe that they may no longer meet the standards for access

established in this order.

(c) Not later than 180 days after the effective date of this

order, the Security Policy Board shall develop a common set of

reinvestigative standards, including the frequency of

reinvestigations.

PART 4 - INVESTIGATIONS FOR FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS

Sec. 4. Authority. Agencies that conduct background

investigations, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and

the Department of State, are authorized to conduct personnel

security investigations in the United States when requested by a

foreign government as part of its own personnel security program

and with the consent of the individual.

PART 5 - REVIEW OF ACCESS DETERMINATIONS

Sec. 5.1. Determinations of Need for Access. A determination

under section 2.1(b)(4) of this order that an employee does not

have, or no longer has, a need for access is a discretionary

determination and shall be conclusive.

Sec. 5.2. Review Proceedings for Denials or Revocations of

Eligibility for Access. (a) Applicants and employees who are

determined to not meet the standards for access to classified

information established in section 3.1 of this order shall be:

(1) provided as comprehensive and detailed a written explanation

of the basis for that conclusion as the national security interests

of the United States and other applicable law permit;

(2) provided within 30 days, upon request and to the extent the

documents would be provided if requested under the Freedom of

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) or the Privacy Act (3 U.S.C. 552a),

as applicable, any documents, records, and reports upon which a

denial or revocation is based;

(3) informed of their right to be represented by counsel or other

representative at their own expense; to request any documents,

records, and reports as described in section 5.2(a)(2) upon which a

denial or revocation is based; and to request the entire

investigative file, as permitted by the national security and other

applicable law, which, if requested, shall be promptly provided

prior to the time set for a written reply;

(4) provided a reasonable opportunity to reply in writing to, and

to request a review of, the determination;

(5) provided written notice of and reasons for the results of the

review, the identity of the deciding authority, and written notice

of the right to appeal;

(6) provided an opportunity to appeal in writing to a high level

panel, appointed by the agency head, which shall be comprised of at

least three members, two of whom shall be selected from outside the

security field. Decisions of the panel shall be in writing, and

final except as provided in subsection (b) of this section; and

(7) provided an opportunity to appear personally and to present

relevant documents, materials, and information at some point in the

process before an adjudicative or other authority, other than the

investigating entity, as determined by the agency head. A written

summary or recording of such appearance shall be made part of the

applicant's or employee's security record, unless such appearance

occurs in the presence of the appeals panel described in subsection

(a)(6) of this section.

(b) Nothing in this section shall prohibit an agency head from

personally exercising the appeal authority in subsection (a)(6) of

this section based upon recommendations from an appeals panel. In

such case, the decision of the agency head shall be final.

(c) Agency heads shall promulgate regulations to implement this

section and, at their sole discretion and as resources and national

security considerations permit, may provide additional review

proceedings beyond those required by subsection (a) of this

section. This section does not require additional proceedings,

however, and creates no procedural or substantive rights.

(d) When the head of an agency or principal deputy personally

certifies that a procedure set forth in this section cannot be made

available in a particular case without damaging the national

security interests of the United States by revealing classified

information, the particular procedure shall not be made available.

This certification shall be conclusive.

(e) This section shall not be deemed to limit or affect the

responsibility and power of an agency head pursuant to any law or

other Executive order to deny or terminate access to classified

information in the interests of national security. The power and

responsibility to deny or terminate access to classified

information pursuant to any law or other Executive order may be

exercised only where the agency head determines that the procedures

prescribed in subsection (a) of this section cannot be invoked in a

manner that is consistent with national security. This

determination shall be conclusive.

(f)(1) This section shall not be deemed to limit or affect the

responsibility and power of an agency head to make determinations

of suitability for employment.

(2) Nothing in this section shall require that an agency provide

the procedures prescribed in subsection (a) of this section to an

applicant where a conditional offer of employment is withdrawn for

reasons of suitability or any other reason other than denial of

eligibility for access to classified information.

(3) A suitability determination shall not be used for the purpose

of denying an applicant or employee the review proceedings of this

section where there has been a denial or revocation of eligibility

for access to classified information.

PART 6 - IMPLEMENTATION

Sec. 6.1. Agency Implementing Responsibilities. Heads of agencies

that grant employees access to classified information shall: (a)

agency's personnel security program established by this order. All

such programs shall include active oversight and continuing

security education and awareness programs to ensure effective

implementation of this order;

(b) cooperate, under the guidance of the Security Policy Board,

classified information;

(3) report all violations of security regulations to the

appropriate security officials; and

(4) comply with all other security requirements set forth in this

order and its implementing regulations.

(b) Employees are encouraged and expected to report any

information that raises doubts as to whether another employee's

continued eligibility for access to classified information is

clearly consistent with the national security.

Sec. 6.3. Security Policy Board Responsibilities and

Implementation. (a) With respect to actions taken by the Security

Policy Board pursuant to sections 1.3(c), 3.1(f), 3.2(b),

3.3(a)(2), and 3.4(c) of this order, the Security Policy Board

shall make recommendations to the President through the Assistant

in March 1994 on Background Investigations Policy/Guidelines

Regarding Sexual Orientation.

(c) In carrying out its responsibilities under this order, the

Security Policy Board shall consult where appropriate with the

Overseas Security Policy Board. In carrying out its

responsibilities under section 1.3(c) of this order, the Security

Policy Board shall obtain the concurrence of the Director of the

Office of Management and Budget.

Sec. 6.4. Sanctions. Employees shall be subject to appropriate

sanctions if they knowingly and willfully grant eligibility for, or

allow access to, classified information in violation of this order

or its implementing regulations. Sanctions may include reprimand,

suspension without pay, removal, and other actions in accordance

with applicable law and agency regulations.

Sec. 436. Requests by authorized investigative agencies

-STATUTE-

(a) Generally

(1) Any authorized investigative agency may request from any

financial agency, financial institution, or holding company, or

from any consumer reporting agency, such financial records, other

financial information, and consumer reports as may be necessary in

order to conduct any authorized law enforcement investigation,

counterintelligence inquiry, or security determination. Any
