The. Interdepartmental Committee on Internal Security (ICIS),
in accordance with its responsibility as an appendage of the National
Security Council for the coordination of*internal security, proposes
to request the Council to recommend to the President that he approve
the enclosed draft Presidential directive on departure of persons
from the United States, dated August 10, 1950.
It is the opinion of the ICIS that the Department of State
and the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Department of
Justice should be advised by interested government agencies of the
names of persons, whether or not employed by such agencies, who are
in possession of any information which the agency concerned considers
to be of such a nature that the disclosure of it, either willingly
or unwillingly, to unauthorized persons abroad would seriously endanger
the security of the United States. If and when passport applications
by citizens or applications for reentry permits by alien residents are
received from such persons, the Department of State, or the Immigration
and Naturalization Service, as the case may be, would consult with the
interested government agency regarding the advisability at that time
of the issuance of a passport or a reentry permit.
The ICIS believes that the above measure is necessary in
order11Qtter to assure the internal security of the nation.
Since it is contemplated that the enclosed directive will
be is to your agency, early receipt of your comments and concurrence
38` 6e u-ested.
DOJ and Legal review(s) completed.
