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.
