Iv0I0RANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Executive Order 12065
1. In accordance with your request last evening, Attachment A
provides an overview of the problems with E.O. 12065; Attachment B is
the Executive Order.
2. As I mentioned, we had estimated that it would cost $80 million
in the first 10-year review if we were to fully comply with the Executive
Order. I am now advised that because of an increase in the proficiency
of the reviewers this figure has been reduced. We will spend $21 million
by 1988 in order to meet about 30 percent of the documents requiring
review. Of this 30 percent, it isLestimated that not more than two
percent will be declassified and that two percent will be of little
interest to the public. At the end of the first 10 years we must start
reviewing the material previously reviewed during the first 10 years.
3. The revised Executive Order is now held by Judge Clark. The
Intelligence Community has made its recommendations to the Information
Security Oversight Office which are now contained in the revised order.
The revised order makes it optional to have a systematic review program.
Since we are declassifying such a small amount, we would have a program
that is restricted to certain categories of material thereby relieving us
from the current burden.
4. Any help you can give us in getting the revised Executive Order
published would be greatly appreciated.
