Proposed Top Secret Classification Criteria
for National Foreign Intelligence
Executive Secretary, SECOM, Memorandum
SECOM-D-547 dated 12 June 1979, Subject:
Proposed Single Agency Guide for Classifi-
cation of Top Secret National Foreign
Intelligence
1. Referenced memorandum forwarded proposed Top Secret
criteria that had been developed for CIA use, and requested
SECOM members to coordinate those criteria within their
departments and agencies with a view towards later formal
consideration. The earlier criteria have been revised as
a result of internal CIA coordination, and are now unclassified.
2. A copy of the current, proposed CIA Top Secret
classification criteria is attached. I ask that you review
it for suitability (with necessary editorial changes to make
it of Community applicability) as a DCI policy statement to
be issued after appropriate NFIB coordination. Such a policy
statement would be supportive of the President's charge to
the DCI in Executive Order 12036 (section 1-601(h) to "conduct
a program to protect against overclassification of foreign
intelligence information."

3. I request your comments on this matter by not later
than 15 October 1979. If we have not heard from you by then,
your concurrence will be assumed. Please address comments to
the Executive Secretary.
