Mr. Bernhardt K. Wruble
.Director, Office of Government Ethics
Office of Personnel Management
Washington, D. C. 20415
Dear Mr. Wruble:
This is to inform you that I hereby exercise my authority
under Section 205 of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to
exempt from the public disclosure provisons of that Act the
financial reports submitted by employees of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
I authorize this exemption after finding that, due to
the nature of the offices and positions held by such indi-
-viduals, public disclosure of their financial reports would,
by revealing their identities or other sensitive information,
compromise the national interest of the United States. This
exemption applies to the reports submitted by any current
employee, former employee, and any individual detailed or
assigned for duty with the Central Intelligence Agency. The
exemption does not apply, however, to the reports of the
Director of Central Intelligence, the Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence, and the Agency official designated to
administer the Act, which will be submitted to you for
review and made available for public inspection.
In addition, I am authorizing the filing of such
additional reports as are necessary to protect the identi-
ties of CIA personnel required to file reports under the Act
because I have found that such additional filings are neces
sary in the national interest. Such additional reports will
be prepared in accordance with procedures established by the
CIA official designated to administer the Act.
My decision of course does not relieve any CIA official
of an obligation to file a complete financial report with
the designated Agency official for review and adjudication
in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Jimmy Carter
