DRAFT NATIONAL SECURITY DECISION DIRECTIVE
1. Each agency of the Executive Branch that originates or
stores classified information shall adopt internal procedures to
safeguard against. unauthorized disclosures of classified informa-
tion. Such procedures shall at a minimum provide as follows:
a. All persons with authorized access to classified
information shall be required to sign a nondisclosure
agreement as a'condition of access. All such agreements
must be in a form determined by the Department of
Justice to be enforceable in a civil action brought by
the United States. This requirement may be implemented
prospectively by agencies for which the administrative
burden of compliance would otherwise be excessive.
b. All persons with authorized access to Sensitive
Compartmented Information (SCI) shall be required to
sign a nondisclosure agreement as a condition of access
to SCI and collateral classified information. All such
? agreements must include a provision for prepublication
review to assure deletion of SCI and collateral
classified information and, in addition, must be in a
form determined by the Department of Justice to be
enforceable in a civil action brought by the United
States.
c. Appropriate policies shall be adopted to govern
contacts between media representatives and agency
officials, so as to reduce the opportunity for negligent
or deliberate disclosures of. classified information.
''P..ll persons with authorized access to classified
information shall be clearly apprised of the agency?s
policies in this regard.
2. Each agency of the Executive Branch that originates or
stores classified information shall adopt internal procedures to
govern the reporting and investigation of unauthorized disclosures
of such information. Such procedures shall at a minimum provide
that:
a. All such disclosures that the agency considers to be
seriously damaging to its mission and responsibilities
shall be evaluated to ascertain the nature of the
information disclosed and the extent to which it had
been disseminated.
Approved For Release 2008/11/06: CIA-RDP90B01013R000100040023-8
b. The agency shall conduct a preliminary internal
investigation prior to or concurrently with seeking
investigative assistance from other agencies.
c. The agency shall maintain records of disclosures so
evaluated and investigated.
d. Agencies in the possession of classified information
originating with another agency shall cooperate with the
originating agency by conducting internal investigations
of the unauthorized disclosure of such information.
e. Employees determined by the agency to have refused
cooperation with investigations of such unauthorized
disclosures or to have made such disclosures will be
denied further access to classified information and
subjected to other administrative sanctions as
appropriate.
3. The Department of Justice shall continue to review
reported unauthorized disclosures of classified information to
determine whether FBI investigation is warranted. Interested
departments and agencies shall be consulted in developing criteria
for evaluating such matters and in determining which cases should
receive investigative priority. The FBI is authorized to
investigate such matters as constitute potential violations of
federal criminal law, even though administrative sanctions may be
sought instead of criminal prosecution.
4. Nothing is this directive is intended to modify or
preclude interagency agreements between FBI and other criminal
investigative agencies regarding their responsibility for
conducting investigations within their own agencies or
departments.
5. The Office of Personnel Management and all departments
and agencies with employees having access to classified
information are directed to revise existing regulations and
policies, as necessary, so that employees may be required to
submit to polygraph examinations, when appropriate, in the course
of investigations of unauthorized disclosures of classified
information. As a minimum, such regulations shall permit an
agency to decide that appropriate adverse consequences will follow
an employee's refusal to cooperate with a polygraph examination
that is limited in scope to the circumstances of the unauthorized
disclosure under investigation. Agency regulations may provide
that only the head of the agency, or his delegate, is empowered to
order an employee to submit-to a polygraph examination. Results
of polygraph examinations should not be relied upon to the
exclusion of other information obtained during investigations.
