COMMENTS (Numbet each comment to show from whom
to whom. Draw a line across column after each comment,)
I have been asked to chop
off for the entire DDA on the
attached proposed uniform
secrecy agreement form which
has been drafted for use with
the new APEX special access
control system. I have no sub-
stantive problems with the
proposal, although in matters
such as these I believe heavy
weight should be given to and
final decision placed upon OGC.
I plan to respond in this fashion
unless you advise me that you
have other problems) with the
proposal.

2. The attached agreement satisfies the factors discussed in reference
a. and complies with the requirements of reference b. which necessitate
a single nondisclosure agreement for APEX.
3. The working group, less NSA, feels the attached agreement should be
the standard, single agreement for access to APEX materials and that
agencies desiring uniquely restrictive agreements should execute addenda
to the basic agreement.
4. The NSA representative opposed attempts to design a single agreement
for universal application to the Intelligence Community. He considered
it not possible to direct one-document to the specific protections
applicable to each agency or department. Nor did he believe it possible
to develop a single document that would be binding on the prospective
employee, the current employee, the military assignee and contractors'
employee alike. The NSA representative strongly supported joint efforts
.to fashion a list of appropriately. worded basic requirefintents to be incor-
porated into all agreements separately generated by each Intelligence
Co m;unity member. The major objections of the NSA representative are
at enclosure 2.
