MANAGEMENT
PROTECTION OF NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL INFORMATION
Through National Security Decision Directive Number 19, the
President has established policies to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure of National Security Council information and of
sensitive classified intelligence information. As Director of
Central Intelligence, I have been directed to issue instructions
to implement these policies for the Central Intelligence Agency.
Within CIA, the accountability for and the exercise of
special control of designated National Security Council
information will be the responsibility of the Executive Secretary
to the DCI. He will ensure that all documents requiring the
cover sheets prescribed by the NSC have them, and that NSC
documents are accounted for through established registry
procedures. The Executive Secretary will ensure the retention,
in-accordance with approved record control schedules, of NSC
cover sheets from documents which have been destroyed.
For CIA employees, existing regulations are considered
adequate to comply with the President's policies. Security
regulations forbid employees to divulge classified information to
unauthorized persons and any violation of this prohibition is
subject to investigation by all legal methods, including
polygraph examination. Public Affairs regulations require that
all inquiries from representatives of the media be referred to
the Public Affairs Division and that all unclassified media
briefings and interviews be arranged-by the Public Affairs
Division with the prior approval of the DDCI, or in his absence,
the Executive Director.
The President's concern with unauthorized disclosure of
classified intelligence is well-founded. I expect Agency
employees to fully support the objective of maintaining the
security of our classified information through strict compliance
with security regulations.
-.William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence

To this end, 'l hereby establish and direct implementation of

The unauthorized disclosure of classified National Security

further control to limit access and to ensure an accurate

with access to documents relating to DISC matters will be
kept to the minimum essential to the orderly conduct of the

SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
An Agreement Between and the United States
(Name - Printed or Typed)
1. Intending to be legally bound, I hereby accept the obligations contained in this Agreement in consideration of my.being
granted access to information protected within Special Access Programs, hereinafter referred to in this Agreement as Sensitive Com-
partmented Information (SCI). I have been advised that SCI involves or derives from intelligence sources or methods and is classified
or classifiable under the standards of Executive Order 12065 or other Executive order or statute. I understand and accept that by being
granted access to SCI, special confidence and trust shall be placed in me by the United States Government.
2. 1 hereby acknowledge that I have received a security indoctrination concerning the nature and protection of SCI, including
the procedures to be followed in ascertaining whether other persons, to whom I contemplate disclosing this information have been
approved for access to it, and I understand these procedures. I understand that I may be required to sign subsequent agreements upon
being granted access to different categories of SCI. I further understand that all my obligations under this Agreement continue to exist
whether or not I am required to sign such subsequent agreements.
3. I have been advised that direct or indirect unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by
me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation. I hereby agree that I will never
divulge such information to anyone who is not authorized to receive it without prior written authorization from the United States
Government department or agency (hereinafter Department or Agency) that last authorized my access to SCI. I further understand
that I am obligated by law and regulation not to disclose any classified information in an unauthorized fashion.`
4. In consideration of being granted access to SCI and of being assigned or retained in a position of special confidence and trust
requiring access to SCI, I hereby agree to submit for security review by the Department or Agency that last authorized my access to such
information, all information or materials, including works of fiction, which contain or purport to contain any SCI or description of activi-
ties that produce or relate to SCI or that I have reason to believe are derived from SCI, that I contemplate disclosing to any person not
authorized to have access to SCI or that I have prepared for public disclosure. I understand and agree that my obligation to submit such
information and materials for review applies during the course of my access to SCI and thereafter, and I agree to make any required
submissions prior to discussing the information or materials with, or showing them to, anyone who is not authorized to have access to SCI.
I further agree that I will not disclose such information or materials to any person not authorized to have access to SCI until I have
received written authorization from the Department or Agency that last authorized my access to SCI that such disclosure is permitted.
5. I understand that the purpose of the review described in paragraph 4 is to give the United States a reasonable opportunity to
determine whether the information or materials submitted pursuant to paragraph 4 set forth any SCI. I further understand that the
Department or Agency to which I have submitted materials will act upon them, coordinating within the Intelligence Community when
appropriate, and make a response to me within a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 working days from date of receipt.
6. 1 have been advised that any breach of this Agreement may result in the termination of my access to SCI and retention in a
position of special confidence and trust requiring such access, as well as the termination of my employment or other relationships with
any Department or Agency that provides me with access to SCI. In addition, I have been advised that any unauthorized disclosure of
SCI by me may constitute violations of United States criminal laws, including the provisions of Sections 793, 794, 798, and 952, Title
18, United States Code, and of Section 783(b), Title 50, United States Code. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver by the
United States of the right to prosecute me for any statutory violation.
7. 1 understand that the United States Government may seek any remedy available to it to enforce this Agreement including,
but not limited to, application for a court order prohibiting disclosure of information in breach of this Agreement. I have been advised
that the action can be brought against me in any of the several appropriate United States District Courts where the United States
Government may elect to file the action. Court costs and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the United States Government may be
assessed against me if I lose such action.
8. I understand that all information to which I may obtain access by signing this Agreement is now and will forever remain the
property of the United States Government. I do not now, nor will I ever, possess any right, interest, title, or claim whatsoever to such
information. I agree that I shall return all materials, which may have come into my possession or for which I am responsible because of
such access, upon demand by an authorized representative of the United States Government or upon the conclusion of my employment
or other relationship with the United States Government entity providing me access to such materials. If I do not return such materials
upon request, I understand this may be a violation of Section 793, Title 18, United States Code, a United States criminal law.
9. Unless and until I am released in writing by an authorized representative of the Department or Agency that last provided me
with access to SCI, I understand that all conditions and obligations imposed upon me by this Agreement apply during the time I am
granted access to SCI, and at all times thereafter.
10. Each provision of this Agreement is severable. If a court should find any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, all
other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement concerns SCI and does not set forth such other
conditions and obligations not related to SCI as may now or hereafter pertain to my employment by or assignment or relationship with
the Department or Agency.
11. 1 have read this Agreement carefully and my questiops, if any, have been answered to my satisfaction. I acknowledge that
the briefing officer has made available Sections 793, 794, 798, and 952 of Title 18, United States Code, and Section 783(b) of Title 50,
United States Code, and Executive Order 12065, as amended, so that I may read them at this time, if I so choose.
12. 1 hereby assign to the United States Government all rights, title and interest, and all royalties, remunerations, and emoluments that
have resulted, will result, or may result from any disclosure, publication, or revelation not consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
