DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Security Committee
SECOM-D-349
23 June 1978
MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Raymond J. Brady
Director, Division of Security
Office of Administration
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
FROM: Robert W. Gambino
Chairman
SUBJECT: Secrecy Agreements
REFERENCE: Your letter to me dated 8 May 1978
1. This responds to your request (reference) for comments on
the use by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of an "Intelligence
Non-Disclosure Agreement" (secrecy agreement).
2. As you know, Executive Order 11905 required (section 7.a.)
Government employees and contractors to sign such an agreement as a
condition of access to information.on sources or methods of intelli-
gence. Executive Order 12036, which superseded E.O. 11905, does not
contain any comparable provision. No requirement for secrecy agree-
ments was included in the final draft of the proposed revision of
E.O. 11652, providing policy on security classification and the pro-
tection of classified information. Without Executive Order authority,
the Director of Central Intelligence does not have a. proper basis for
requiring other agencies to use secrecy agreements for access to
foreign intelligence information. Current circumstances thus essen-
tially make each agency responsible for developing and applying its
own procedures, consistent with Executive Order 11652, for the pro-
tection of classified information. While we welcome any measures
NRC may take to ensure the protection of sources and methods information,
we are in no position at this time to suggest specific language or pro-
cedures. You may wish to follow the efforts to revise E.O. 11652. We
understand that the final version of that provides for administrative
sanctions against Government personnel who disclose classified informa-
tion without authorization.
