I, /T JVN 1= el /y, G V12* 7_ , understand that upon enter- ing on duty with the Central Intelligence Agency I am undertaking a posi- tion of trust in that Agency of the Government responsible to thePresi- dent and the National Security Council for intelligence relating to the security of the United States of America. I understand that in the course of my employment I will acquire information about the Agency and its activities and about intelligence acquired or produced by the Agency. 2. I have read and understand the provisions of the Espionage Act, Title 18, USC, secs. 793 and 794, and I am aware that unauthorized disclosure of classified information relating to the national defense may subject me to prosecution for violation of that Act, whether such disclosure be made while I am an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency or at any time thereafter. 3. In addition, however, as I am undertaking a position of trust, I have a responsibility to the Central Intelligence Agency not to disclose any classified information relating to the Agency without proper authoriza- tion. I undertake, therefore, not to discuss with or disclose to any person not authorized to hear it such information relating to the Central Intelligence Agency, its activities, or to intelligence material under the'control of the Agency. I further understand that this undertaking is a condition of my employment with the C ntral Intelligence Agency, that its violation may subject me to immediate ismissal for cause or other appropriate disciplinary action, and that 4his undertaking shall be equally binding upon me after my employment with t e Agency as during it. 4. I understand that the burden is upon me to ascertain whether or not information is classified and if so, who is authorized to receive it, and, therefore, I will obtain the decision of authorized officials of the Agency on these points prior to disclosing information relating to the Agency, and failure to obtain such a decision will be grounds for my dismissal. 5. I understand that my unauthorized action or utterance in the nature of a publication or which would reasonably be expected to result in pub- licity on intelligence or intelligence activities would be in violation of Government and Agency regulations and would be grounds for my dismissal. CONF IAL Wh ,tied In) 6. I understand that for all grievances and complaints there are estab- lished procedures within the Agency permitting appeal by any employee of the Agency and to carry any such grievance or complaint outside the Agency will be considered a violation of the undertaking set forth above in paragraph 3. If the appeal procedures are inadequate in any situation, I am aware that the Inspector General is at all times available to any employee with a legitimate criticism, grievance, or complaint. 7. I further understand and agree that my employment by the Central In- telligence Agency is conditioned upon my understanding of and strict compliance with CIA Security Regulations, and the appendices thereto. 8. Inasmuch as employment by the Government is a privilege not a right, in consideration of my employment by CIA I undertake not to publish or participate in the publication of any information or material relating to the Agency, its activities or intelligence activities generally, either during or after the term of my employment by the Agency without specific prior approval by the Agency. l understand that it is established Agency policy to refuse approval to publication of or participation in publication of any such information or material. 9. I agree that all information or intelligence acquired by me in con- nection with my official duties with the Central Intelligence Agency remains the property of the United States of America, and I will sur- render, upon demand by an appropriate official of the Agency or upon separation from the Agency, any material relating to such information and intelligence in my possession. 10. Itake the obligations set forth above freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion. WHEREOOF, I have set my hand and seal this c day of
