Approved Fosjoelease 2002/06/05 : CIA-RDP77-0038W000100070'028 THE WHITE HOUSE March 30, 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR: LAWRENCE R. HOUSTON FROM: RICHARD C. TUFARO 961 SUBJECT: MARKING CLASSIFIED MESSAGE TRAFFIC Attached is a copy of a circular issued by the United States Information Agency setting forth standard marking requirements for their clas- sified telegrams. This circular is issued to bring USIA in conformity with the requirements of the State Department. I thought the attached might be of interest to you because it suggests an abbreviated format for indicating the information required by E. O. 11652. Moreover, you might wish to consider whether this should not be. adopted as a uniform standard throughout the Federal Government. The approach adopted here appears to have a good deal of merit. 7 iV,I~rl , c~ ~ r, /,r4 (15 l / (If Approved For Release 2002/06/05 : CIA-RDP77-00389R000100070028-9 Approved F release 2002/06/05 : CIA-RDP77-0038W000100070028-9 R a t'~ UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY WASHINGTON 20547 March Z1, 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Richard C.
