National Security Information
1. Attached at Tab A for your signature is a letter to the Director,
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), forwarding the Agency's comments
on the latest proposed revision of Executive Order 12055. The proposed
revision (attached at Tab B) incorporates several of the changes reco~c.ended-
in the Agency's previous comments forwarded -under. your 1S January 1932 is ttor
to the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (attached
at Tab C) .
2. The concern you expressed in that letter regarding the-use of the
word "cryptology" in the new. order has resulted in additional coordination
within the Intelligence Cornuni_ty. The Office of Information Services, DDA,
has reached an understanding on this subject with the National Security Agency
that is acceptable to concerned Agency components. This understanding
is reflected in our current comment D, which recommends that a sentence in
the proposed order be deleted. This sentence provides that the Secretary
of Defense would have sole responsibility for establishing special access
programs relating to cryptology.
3. The attached six comments to be forwarded to UM have been cQordinat :d
in substance with the Directorates, the Office of Security, the Office of
General Counsel, and the DCI Security Comm4mrittee. The inclusion of the
recommendations they contain will result in a new Executive order quite
acceptable to the Agency. As you laotw, the new order even as presently drafted
is a great: improvement over the current Executive Order 1206S.
