MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Records System Branch, RMD/OIA
I Special Assistant to the Inspector General
SUBJECT: National Security Classification Guide
1. Enclosed is your preliminary draft of a CIA National Security
Classification Guide. I have pencilled in a number of questions and
comments about specific items.
2. Concerning the draft Guide itself:
a. Many of the topics, which are listed as unclassified,
are classified in themselves. I have circled the (U) at the
end of the statement in many cases.
b. Many_of the topics are so narrowly defined as to lead
an employee to believe that, if the information does not
specifically fit the guide item in every respect, then its
classifiability is questionable.
c. Some of the review periods are less 'than the allowable
20 years. It is questionable that we should require review at
a shorter period.
d. Some of the classification levels are arbitrary for
the general class of information described. This could be
artificially and improperly limiting.
e. Major topics are missing from this Guide: medical,
security clearance data, collection tasking, intelligence
management information, oversight -information, intelligence
policy, etc., are but a few of the many major topics not touched
on at all in this Guide.
f. CIA need not concern itself with justifying the classifi-
cation of US foreign policy or military data. This is a State,
DoD, or DOE responsibility and our protection of this information
is based on their standards of classification.
All portions are

3. A classification guide which would "facilitate the proper and
uniform classification of information" in the Agency (as required by Para
II of 0 should, in my view, describe what type of information can
be released in an unclassified form. Guidance to all employees on this
topic is far more important for effective security of Agency equities and
capabilities than arcane distinctions between Secret and Confidential or
between a 15 or 20 year review period. Why can't the Agency have a
classification guide based on the criteria in Annex A of your draft
amplifying for each criteria the distinctions between classified and
unclassified information.
4. This type of Guide, while addressing the specific EO 12065
requirement for a mandatory review guide, may be the wrong approach to
the problem of providing classification guidance to Agency employees.
The Agency should take full advantage of its statutory and EO 12065
authorities to protect its information. An entirely different security
philosophy should be considered - everything concerning the Agency is
classified except that which is specifically declassified.

1. has raised some questions concerning the portion marking
contained in the' classification guide published by this Office. The thrust of
his. comments on whether the Agency needs to publish a classification guide ties
in.with this memorandum from Chuck Briggs to the A/DCI.
2. OIS has scheduled a meeting for 19 May to which we have invited
re reseritatives=. from all -the Directorates (aiid some -of, the -Offices) -as well as
STAT The meeting will.give. Ia chance to present his views before STAT
the su stanti.ve experts" who have already coordinated on the classification
guide during its development. We are ready to circulate the guide for formal
coordination, but will delay doing so until after the meeting on' 19 stay' so . - " ..
STAT that we may give II the opportunity to present his views. Consequently, I
-do not believe ' 'that tie question of policy guidance from EXCONI on the. cla.ss,i-
ficiationguide is really necessary. We have been working ldt:h representatives
from all the Directorates and Independent Offices during the entire'-development
of the draft guide as it now exists. All representatives believe that it is a
great improvement over what we have worked with heretofore. -
..-3.. If we are-unable to."turn off" the classification guide issue as an
EXCOM topic, then Tom White as the Director of Information Services would
accompany iJr. Fitzwater to the.EXCOM meeting in order to make a presentation
and answer questions concerning the guide. -, _
4. -The only major decision item which-might be-surfaced. at--the-EXCa
meeting would be whether to have a. guide or to abandon this work altogether..
The new guide will serve a very: useful purpose to CIA. It will" replace four
guides (one for each Directorate) which were developed by the Directorates for
their own use. The DCI Area and IC Staff have no guide and must rely on what.-

ever they can glean from the guides of the other Directorates. Thus, the
new guide will consolidate the rather haphazard approach taken in the past
and provide consistency for classification purposes throughout the Agency.
In the view of those who have participated in the guide's development, it
will continue to serve a useful purpose in the future regardless of what
revisions may ultimately be made-to E.O. 12065.

Inspector General
SUBJECT: Briggs' Corollary to Murphy's Law
:credibl-lily
1. The explanation of subject, well known to my colleagues
who deal with FOIA and declassification matters is: "If there is
even the remotest chance that we can shoot ourselves in the foot,
not only will we, but we will be intent upon it."
2. The Agency has underway an effort which I have to sup-
port in principle, namely, development of an Agency-wide
National Security Classification Guide. However, efforts to
date reflect an in-house schizophrenia re current tactics. The
CIA Act of 1949 allows us to withhold any budget data, employee
names or organizational details. The FOIA, Privacy Act and
executive orders on classification have allowed various exemptions
which, in our implementing documents, we chose to apply only in
part -- for. tactical reasons -- while we were re-gaining our
