MEMORANDUM FOR NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE BOARD
SUBJECT: Intelligence Community Implementation of
Executive Order 12065
1. Executive Order 12065 became effective on
1 December 1978. It changes certain aspects of classifying
and marking information. Intelligence Community agency
heads and program managers/executive agents are enjoined
to ensure that security policies and procedures under their
cognizance are in accordance with the Order and the related
"Information Security Oversight Office Directive No. 1
Concerning National Security Information." The Executive
Order and Directive No. 1 take precedence over conflicting
policies and procedures in existing Community directives
and regulations to include DCID 1/7, DCID 1/19, and
Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) control directives,
which will be revised as necessary.
2. Particular attention shall be given to the require-
ment in the Order to promulgate classification guides,
especially with regard to SCI and to other information
bearing on intelligence sources or methods. NFIB members
and program managers/executive agents are responsible for
developing such guides for the programs under their
cognizance. As an interim measure, existing guides may
be modified or summary guidance provided by message/cable
format pending coordination and approval of final versions.
The attachment lists categories of information which should
be considered in preparing classification guides for
Intelligence Community applications. A copy of all guides
promulgated for foreign intelligence and foreign counter-
intelligence shall be provided to the Chairman, DCI Security
Committee for review in support of my responsibilities
under E. 0. 12036.

3. To ensure an adequate period of protection pend-
ing a detailed review of classification requirements, all
SCI shall be annotated to show that it will be reviewed
for declassification on a date 20 years from the date of
the material (30 years in the case of Foreign Government
Information as defined in the Order). The requirement
for this annotation shall be included in guides for SCI.
The reason for the extension of classification longer than
six years may be shown for SCI or other intelligence
information by use of the following, selecting the words
or phrases applicable to the class or item of information
involved:
"Reason - to protect sensitive (cryptologic/
technical/human/clandestine) (sources/methods
of collecting)/(means of processing) intelli-
gence which are expected to remain sensitive
because of (vulnerability to counteraction)/
(loss of informational advantage to the United
States) during the full period of classification."
4. Questions on these matters should be direct d to
