Guidelines for the Declassification Review of DDA Records
I. GENERAL GUIDANCE
1. The following guidelines are to be utilized for the declassifica-
tion review of all documents, information, and other materials originated
by or attributable to the Directorate of Administration and/or functional
predecessors over which it still maintains original or final authority.
2. These guidelines are to be applied to all DDA-originated
material, wherever located. They do not supersede restrictions imposed
by the originators of documents and information over which the DDA does
not exercise exclusive or final jurisdiction. No declassification
action is permitted without the authorization of officially approved
guidelines.
3. Classified documents and information furnished by a foreign
government, international organization (or official representative
thereof), or produced jointly with a foreign government or international
organization shall be exempt from automatic declassification without the
approval of the foreign government or international organization concerned.
4. Subject to approval by the originator of the information or
functional successor, documents and information which would ordinarily
be exempted from declassification may be declassified if it is determined
that, based on prior official disclosure or other considerations, current
or future equities clearly would not be adversely affected by declassi-
fication, provided that the information has been released in its entirety
and not on a fragmentary basis.
5. Some documents, information, and other material falling within
the exemption criteria described in these guidelines may have been
originated in an unclassified format. If such material is located in
the course of review, it is to be identified for further action by the
originating component or its successor. Such material will be handled
as if it were classified.
6. Classified documents, information, or other materials specifi-
cally protected by statute will receive continued protection in accordance
with the provisions of the relevant statute. Restricted Data and Formerly
Restricted Data shall be downgraded and declassified in conformity with
the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (as amended) and appropriate
regulations issued in accordance thereto.
7. Unless otherwise specified, all documents to be certified as
requiring continued protection beyond 20 years will be protected at the
Confidential level. Any compartmentation will continue to apply unless
otherwise stated. Material exempted from automatic declassification will
be protected in accordance with statute, pertinent executive orders, and
appropriate Agency regulations.

8. Prior to 1954, the word "Restricted" was used to designate a
fourth classification level. During the review any material found so
marked should be treated at the Confidential level; however, do not
confuse this classification with that of "Restricted Data" which is used
by ERDA.
9. Sections II-VI below describe in detail specific declassifica-
tion review guidelines. Documents which are found to contain information
described in these sections are to retain classification if released to
the public the material could reasonably be expected to:
(A) cause damage to the national security;
(B) have an adverse effect upon foreign relations;
(C) place a person in immediate jeopardy;
(D) compromise intelligence sources and methods which require
protection as prescribed by the National Security Act of 1947 and the
CIA Act of 1949.
