of Central Intelligence to protect intelligence sources and methods from un-
authorized disclosure and do hereby agree to accept as conditions precedent

1. It is my understanding that in the course of my employment
with the Central Intelligence Agency I will be given access to information

a duly authorized official of the Central Intelligence Agency, or upon
my separation from said Agency, any classified material and any material
containing intelligence sources and methods which have come into my
possession as a result of my employment with said Agency.
2. I hereby agree that I will never divulge, publish or reveal by
writing, word, conduct or otherwise any such classified information, as now
defined or will hereafter be defined during my employment by statute or
Executive Order or such information containing intelligence sources and
methods, as now defined or will hereafter be defined in the official regulations

the extent such sources and methods continue to be protected by such

Director of Central Intelligence or his duly authorized representative.
I further agree that any material which is related to intelligence or
intelligence sources and methods and prepared for publication by me
will be submitted to the Director of Central Intelligence or his duly

final determination as to what information in the materials submitted must be
deleted because it is classified or contains intelligence sources and methods.
If I fail to comply with any of these procedures, in addition to equitable
remedies that may be otherwise available to the United States, I hereby
assign all rights, title and interest in any and all royalties, remunerations

and Section 6 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, as amended
(50 U . S . C . 403g), which specifically place a responsibility on the Director
of Central Intelligence to protect intelligence sources and methods from
unauthorized disclosure.
6. I further agree to keep myself thoroughly familiar with, and
to comply with, applicable CIA security procedures and regulations.
