2\. Changes and Additions:

On November 1, 1985, the President signed National Security Decision

Directive 197 (NSDD-197), \"Reporting Hostile Contacts and Security

Awareness.\" The National Security Council has advised the Department

to implement our program as proposed. The following procedures

implement the Department\'s response to the requirements of NSDD-197:

a\. Create and maintain a security awareness program to inform

employees of the potential threat to proprietary, sensitive, and

classified information from foreign sources, overt and covert,

including hostile intelligence services.

b\. Provide for the prescribed reporting of employee contacts with

nationals of certain foreign countries or political entities.

3\. HUD Handbook 1750.1 REV-4, CHG-2, Chapter 2, Section 2-2, paragraph
f,

provides for a comprehensive initial briefing before permitting access

to classified information and the completion of a debriefing or

termination statement when access is no longer necessary. In

addition, Administrative Officers are now requested to monitor the

need for access clearances, administer initial briefings, coordinate

refresher training, and obtain debriefing or termination statements

when access to classified information is no longer necessary.

condition of access.

b\. Procedures be established to govern contacts between media

representatives and agency personnel with access to classified

information, in order to minimize the opportunity for the

negligent or deliberate unauthorized disclosure of classified

2\. Changes and Additions:

Executive Order 12356, National Security Information replaces

Executive Order 12065. The following major changes are designed

to enhance the executive branch\'s ability to protect national

security information from unauthorized or premature disclosure

without increasing the quantity of classified information:

a\. The threshold standard for classification of information as

\"confidential\" has been modified from \"identifiable damage\"

to \"damage.\" The reason for this change is to eliminate

uncertainty regarding the intent of the term \"identifiable.\"

b\. Another change to the requirements for classification is the

addition of several subject matter categories of information

(e.g., \"cryptography\" and \"the vulnerabilities or capabilities

of systems, installations, projects or plans relating to the

national security\") to the list of types of information that

may be considered for classification.

c\. The new order eliminates the so-called \"balancing test\";

removes the limits on the duration of classification; and

allows classifiers to continue to establish specific dates

or events for declassification where that is appropriate.

d\. Another change made by the new order is the addition of a

requirement that, in cases of doubt as to classification or

proper level of classification, the information shall be

safeguarded as if it were classified pending a determination

by an original classification authority, who shall make this

determination within thirty (30) days.

e\. The new order also eliminates the prohibition against the

reclassification of information previously declassified and

released by providing that such information can be reclassified

if it \"may reasonably be recovered.\"

f\. The order also broadens the scope of the presumption

that disclosure of certain types of information will

cause damage to the national security.
