INFORMATION SECURITY BRIEFING

A. OVERVIEW

1\. Executive Order 12356 (E.O. 12356), \"National Security

Information,\" Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO)

Directive No. 1, National Security Decision Directives 84 and 197

(NSDD-84 and NSDD-197), and Department security regulations

prescribe and implement procedures for classifying, declassifying,

downgrading, and safeguarding classified information, to include

security awareness briefings, reporting attempts to obtain illegal

or unauthorized access to classified or otherwise sensitive

information, and reporting employee contacts with nationals of

certain foreign countries or political entities, to include

hostile intelligence services.

2\. E.O. 12356 further recognizes that it is essential that the public

be informed concerning activities of its Government, but that the

interests of the United States and its citizens require that

certain information concerning the national defense and foreign

relations be safeguarded from unauthorized disclosure.

3\. E.O. 12356 also requires each agency that handles national

security information to establish a security education program.

The program shall be sufficient to familiarize all necessary

employees with the provisions of E.O. 12356, ISOO Directive No. 1,

NSDD-84, NSDD-197, and Department security regulations and to

impress upon them their individual security responsibilities. The

program shall also provide refresher and termination briefings.

B. PURPOSE OF BRIEFING

1\. Under the provisions of E.O. 12356 and Department security

regulations, each employee has a continuing obligation to

safeguard information vital to the national security of the United

States. This briefing is designed to help you obtain a better

understanding of your obligations regarding information security

matters which will help you to discharge your security

responsibilities as a HUD employee.

2\. Basically, the responsibility for security rests with the employee

who has access to any form of information, classified or

unclassified. Physical controls over information, facilities, and

storage areas are not totally sufficient for good security.

Rather, we must be security conscious and aware of the importance

of our Department security regulations. While seemingly complex

and restrictive, our security regulations are based upon sound

judgment, and are designed to provide the utmost protection for

classified and otherwise sensitive information in the possession

of this Department.

Appendix 6

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

documents in a Department office or organization. Such

procedures must provide for tracing the movement of classified

information, limited dissemination, prompt retrieval of

documents, detection of the loss of information, and prevention

of excessive production and reproduction of documents.

2\. Destruction of Classified Information - Classified documents will

be destroyed when no longer needed in a manner to preclude

recognition or reconstruction of the classified information.

Classified documents will only be destroyed by the methods

prescribed by Department security regulations.

3\. Marking Derivatively Classified Documents - A uniform system for

marking derivatively classified documents is contained in

Department security regulations. The basic purpose for applying

markings to documents containing or revealing classified

information is to communicate to a recipient the degree of

protection required and to facilitate extracting, paraphrasing,

upgrading, downgrading, and declassification actions. It is

important that all employees who derivatively classify

information utilize the uniform system, otherwise this basic

purpose will not be realized.

4\. Storage of Classified Information :

a\. Classified information will be stored under conditions that

will provide adequate protection and prevent access by

unauthorized persons. Whenever classified information is

not under the personal control and observation of an

authorized person, it will be guarded by cleared personnel

having a need-to-know or stored in a locked security

container. Only the security containers prescribed in

Department security regulations will be used for the storage

of classified information.

b\. Combinations used for storage of classified information will

be changed upon request to the Assistant Director for

Security. Under no circumstances may these combinations be

changed by a commercial locksmith without prior approval of

the Assistant Director for Security. Combinations will be

changed:

\(1\) When a container is placed in use;

\(2\) When an individual knowing the combination no longer

requires access to the container;

\(3\) When the combination has been subjected to possible

compromise;

\(4\) At least once every 12 months; or

\(5\) When a container is taken out of service. Built in

combination locks will be reset to the standard

combination 50-25-50 (10-20-30 for padlocks) prior

to removal from the office space.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

c\. The combination of a lock used for the storage of classified

information will be afforded protection equal to that given

the highest level of the classified information stored

therein. Combinations will be memorized or recorded and

stored in an approved security container; not on calendars,

in desk drawers, in wallets, etc.

d\. Access to the combinations will be given only to those

employees who are appropriately cleared and authorized

access to the classified information stored in the container

and must have it for the efficient performance of their

duties.

5\. Transmission of Classified Documents - This refers to any

movement of classified information from one place to another.

The classified information has to be in the custody of a cleared

individual or an approved system. Approved methods for the

transmission of TOP SECRET, SECRET and CONFIDENTIAL information

are contained in Department security regulations. The

regulations also prescribe procedures for the proper packaging

and receipting of classified information for transmission.

Classified documents will not, under any circumstances, be

removed from the Department for reasons of personal convenience.

6\. Production and Reproduction of Classified Information

\- Production means the initial typing or writing of letters,

memoranda, and other documents containing classified information.

Reproduction means the duplication of any classified information,

in whole or in part.

the same accountability and controls as the original

documents.

E. RESPONSIBILITIES - To further provide for the protection and

safeguarding of classified information, the following responsibilities

have been assigned:

1\. Office Managers and Supervisors. The responsibility for

safeguarding national security information rests upon each office

manager and supervisor to the same degree that the office manager

and supervisor are charged with functional responsibility for

their office. While certain employees may be assigned specific

security responsibilities, it is nevertheless the basic

responsibility of the office manager and supervisor to ensure

that national security information entrusted to their offices is

handled and safeguarded according to the policies and procedures

contained in Department security regulations. Any office manager

and supervisor who handles or stores national security

classified files and other recipients authorized to receive

classified information.

b\. Receive unopened, all incoming accountable communications,

including First Class mail containing classified

information.

c\. Inspect sealed envelopes or similar wrappings containing

classified information for any evidence of tampering or

damage.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

j\. Arrange for the destruction of any unneeded classified

documents.

k\. Insure that offices who merely coordinate, sign, or route

classified documents that are prepared and controlled by

another office, do not keep copies of the document for the

sole purpose of control or a possible later need.

3\. Custodians of Classified Files. Where it is considered an

absolute necessity that classified documents be stored in offices

other than the LCP, custodians of classified files will be

appointed to carry out the required duties. Employees appointed

as custodians of classified files will, as a minimum, in addition

to his/her regular assigned duties, be responsible for the

following duties:

a\. Provide protection for all classified information entrusted

to his/her care.

b\. Lock classified information in approved security containers

whenever it is not in use or under direct supervision of an

authorized person.

c\. Verify the clearance status and need-to-know of office

personnel or other recipients authorized to review

classified information.

d\. Return all classified material marked for destruction to the

LCP.

4\. Employees. Each employee who may have access to national

security information is responsible for the protection of that

information, no matter how it was received. Each employee who

handles national security information will be familiar with and

adhere to the provisions of Department security regulations.

Employees are also responsible for reporting the loss, or

temporary loss, or control or possession of national security

information to their supervisor.

F. SECURITY TIPS

1\. Account for all classified information that may be furnished to

you.

2\. Protect proprietary, sensitive, or classified information from

loss or compromise, regardless of the manner in which you

received it, and report immediately any act that has or might

result in such loss or compromise. This responsibility is yours

whether the act or omission is your own or that of another

person.

3\. Classified information should not be hand carried to an outlying

HUD office or non-HUD organization unless time limitations do not

permit the use of U. S. Registered Mail. When this need does

exist, the classified material must be processed through the LCP,

and approval to act as a courier must be obtained from the

appropriate manager or supervisor.

4\. Remember not to take classified information home.

1750.1 REV-4 CHG-2

Appendix 6

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

5\. Do not discuss classified information within an office or

conference room if your conversation may be overheard by

unauthorized persons such as uncleared visitors or employees

without a need-to-know.

6\. Never discuss classified information with unauthorized persons,

including your family or friends.

7\. Do not discuss classified information over an unsecured telephone

at anytime, anywhere.

8\. Never put classified material in wastebaskets.

9\. Do not comment on published news articles concerning information

that you know to be classified. Publication by a news media does

not constitute proper authority for declassification and is often

the product of astute guessing. You should not lend credence to

such reports by agreeing or disagreeing with them until they have

been evaluated officially.

10\. Whenever leaving your office, even for a short time, lock up

classified information in an approved security container unless

the information is under the physical control of a cleared person

with an authorized need-to-know.

11\. Do not keep a written record of safe combinations on desk

blotters, calendar pads, etc., as they must be committed to

memory.

12\. Lock up in approved security containers all shorthand notes,

preliminary drafts, carbon paper, typewriter ribbons, and other

material of a similar nature which was used for the generation of

classified information in the course of a work day.

13\. Double check and test all drawers of each container used for the

storage of classified material at the close of business each day

to assure that they are properly secured. REMEMBER to turn the

dial of each combination lock at least four times to the right

after the container has been secured.

G. ADMINISTRATIVE AND CRIMINAL SANCTIONS

1\. HUD employees may be subject to administrative sanctions which

could include reprimand, termination of security access

authorization, suspension from or termination of employment, as

appropriate, if they:

a\. Refuse to cooperate in the conduct of a preliminary inquiry

or formal investigation.

b\. Knowingly, willfully, or negligently cause or have knowledge

of an unauthorized disclosure of proprietary, sensitive, or

classified information.
