MEMORANDUM FOR:
Cie , Plans and Policy Group
Chief, Special Security Center
SUBJECT: Revision of Executive Order 11652
REFERENCE: PPG Routing Slips (undated)
1. Following comments on revision of Executive Order 11652 are
offered:
a. On page 17, section (ii), it says the number of
persons needing access to "Special Access Programs"
will be "reasonably small." This is so indefinite
as to constitute no guidance at all.
b. Page 17, section (3), indicates existing special
access programs will be continued "only in accor-
dance with the procedures of this subsection."
Does this mean the DCI must review and approve the
continuation, "personally and in writing", of all
such programs pertaining to intelligence sources
and methods? Does it apply to CCMINT and to the
special Navy programs? Additional guidance will
be required before action is possible on this item.
c. Is material held in "Special Access Programs"
subject to the name downgrading and declassifi-
cation procedures set forth on pages 11 through 15?
If so, there will be a tremendous backlog of com-
partmented material more than 20 years old requiring
immediate review. Who is going to do it?
2. The above is offered for your information and whatever use you
may make of it.
