14EMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Implementation of NSDD-19
1. The proposed implementation of NSDD-19, provided by the
Executive Secretary, NFIC/NFIB on 3 March 1982, has been reviewed.
In general, the implementation procedures appear to be sound and
consistent with current security practices.
2. There are certain specific items upon which you may wish
to comment:
? Access Procedures
The directive to immediately review access
and dissemination practices, while sound from a
security standpoint, may be viewed negatively in
the Community. Most managers of access programs
probably consider that they maintain continuing
oversight over access and dissemination
practices and procedures.
9 Cover Sheets
The draft, as written, may require the
redesign of cover sheets currently employed for
Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).
9 Personal Accountability
The initiative to require those with access
to SCI to sign a nondisclosure agreement with a
specific requirement for prepublication review
should be supported.

? Contacts with the News Media
The phrasing of this passage could be
construed as an attempt to prohibit all contact
with the media and will probably encounter
difficulty in the Community. It might be
preferable to confine the requirement to
mandating advance SIO approval or concurrence
for news media contact. There should also be a
requirement for after-the-fact reporting of
contacts which may have been unavoidable. The
prohibition of the discussion of classified
information in any contact with the news media,
of course, should be strongly supported.
3. If any further comment is desired, please advise me.
