CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
OATH OF SECRECY
(COMINT INDOCTRINATION)
I have carefully read the applicable statute (18 U.S. Code 798) on the
subject of communications intelligence (COMINT) and have read., or been
informed of pertinent sections of the Central Intelligence Agency Communi-
cations Intelligence Regulations, which I fully understand. I appreciate the
fact that the preservation of the communications intelligence source is of the
utmost importance to the United States and that loss of this source would be
irreparable, and I subscribe to this oath freely., without mental reservations,
and with full intent to exercise the most meticulous care in abiding by its
terms.
I do solemnly swear and declare upon my honor that I will not discuss with
or disclose to any person, regardless of his official position or status, any
information relating directly or indirectly to communications intelligence or
any information derived therefrom or pertinent to the nature of its source or
manner of its production unless that person is currently authorized to discuss
or handle information or material of the particular category involved. I
understand that the responsibility for ascertaining that such an authorization
is valid and current, and that it is of appropriate scope, rests with me. I
understand further that when a change in my assignment or any other change in
my status renders it no longer necessary for me, in the performance of ny
official duties, to receive communications intelligence or to be currently
aware of its existence, my name will be removed from the list of persons
authorized to receive this material and have this knowledge.
I do hereby affirm my understanding that no change in my assignment or
#}employment will ever relieve me of my obligation under this oath..
