SUEJECT Greaney/Adler Interview

Washington, D.C.
MAURY POVICH: Unfortunately, the events in Grenada and
Beirut over the last week have kind of dropped down to a lower
level or a priority a reaction on, actually, a bill that was
passed through the Senate about less than a week ago which put
off until April of 1984 the restrictions involving censorship of
government officials who have access to highly sensitive clas-
sified material from being able to use that in any kind of work
or print, book, article, without first clearing it through the
government. It was an executive order delivered by the President
of the United States. It's the same one, by the way, that had
something to do with lie detector tests for current government
officials. We're not going to talk about that today. But this
is people who want to write books, for instance, and they have
knowledge of, documents of very highly -- of a highly sensitive
nature. And what happened was that the Senate said, "Okay. We
want to take a look at this." And so it's not going to go into
being until April of 1984.
With us, John K. Greaney, the Executive, Director of the
Association of Former Intelligence Officers; Allan Adler, legal
counsel for the Center for National Security Studies.
Mr. Greaney, you don't mind this, do you?
JOHN GREANEY: No, I'm very much in favor of it, because
we, as an association of former intelligence officers, recognize
the need for security. As a matter of fact, in the applications
of our members we point out to them that they still have an
obligation to protect those things that were classified which
they learned during the course of their employment.
I would like to take one exception to the terms you used
