I, Jogeegh C. King , am about to terminate my association
with the Central Intelligence Agency. I realize that, by virtue of my duties
with that Agency, I have been the recipient of information and intelligence which
concerns the present and future security of the United States of America. I am
aware that the unauthorized disclosure of such information is prohibited by the
Espionage Laws (18 USC secs. 793 and 794), and by the National Security Act of
1947 which specifically requires the protection of intelligence sources and
methods from unauthorized disclosure. Accordingly, I SOLEMNLY SWEAR, WITHOUT
MENTAL RESERVATION OR PURPOSE-OF EVASION, AND IN THE ABSENCE OF DURESS, AS FOL-
LOWS:
1. I will never divulge, publish, or reveal by writing, word, conduct, or
otherwise, any information relating to the national defense and security and
particularly information of this nature relating to intelligence sources, meth-
ods and operations, and specifically tr l Intelligence Agency operations,
sources, methods, personnel, fiscal data, or security measures to anyone, in-
cluding but not limited to, any future governmental or private employer, private
citizen, or other Government employee or official without the express written
consent of the Director of Central Intelligence or his authorized representative.
2. I have been invited to submit in writing any monetary claims which I
may have against CIA or the United States Government which may in any way neces-
sitate the disclosure of information described herein. I have been advised that
any such claims will receive full legal consideration. In the event, however,
that I am not satisfied with the decisions of CIA concerning any present or
future claims I may submit, I will.not.take any other action to obtain satis-
faction without prior written notice to CIA, and then only in accordance with
such legal and security advice as CIA will promptly furnish me.
3. I do not have any documents or materials in my possession, classified
or unclassified, which are the property of, or in custodial-responsibility of
the Central Intelligence Agency, having come into my possession as a result of
my .duties kith the Central Intelligence Agency, or otherwise, Ely l;uy~y~- G~ 1

4. During my exit processing and during my period of employment with the
Central Intelligence Agency I have been given an opportunity to report all in-
formation about the Agency, its personnel, and its operations which I consider
should receive official cognizance. Hence, I am not aware of any information,
which it is my duty in the national interest to disclose to the Central Intel-
ligence Agency, nor am*I.aware of any violations or breaches of security which
I have not officially reported, except as set forth on the reverse side of this
sheet or on other attachments.

nation of the violation as the circumstances warrant.
