INTERAGENCY CLASSIFICATION REVIEW COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20408
September 11, 1973
MEMORANDUM FOR: HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
CHAIRMEN, DEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEES
SUBJECT: INTERAGENCY CLASSIFICATION REVIEW
COMMITTEE INFORMATION
MEMORANDUM (#2)
As you know, the Interagency Classification Review Committee,
which monitors the government--wide classification system, has
instituted a series of information memoranda to inform the heads
of departments and agencies and chairmen of Departmental
Committees of actions taken by the Committee which may have
an impact on departments and agencies other than those represented
on the Committee. This memorandum is the second in that series.
It had came to the Committee's attention that some agencies were
inadvertently in violation of Section Vi(G)(4) of the National Security
Council Directive of May 17, 19x12, which prohibits reproduction
of Top Secret documents unless the originating office consents to
such reproduction. Although the Committee recognized the
validity of the restraint on reproduction, it also recognized that
this provision could hinder the government's declassification
program.
In order to meet the requirements of the NSA' Directive, Section
VI(G)(4), the Committee members agreed to sign oii behalf of their
respective agencies a Memorandum of Agreement authorizing
agencies possessing classified documents originated by their
respective agencies to reproduce these documents, under conditions
set out in the Agreement, for purposes of declassification review.
A copy of the Memorandum of Agreement is enclosed for your
information. The Committee anticipates that other departments
and agencies may elect to become signatories to this Agreement.
