MEMORANDUM FOR MR. SINGEL

SUBJECT: Downgrading of Some Tit Photography

Information to SECRET

The current policy regarding .whether foreigners can be

granted a DOD TOP SECRET or SECRET clearance is as follows:

An immigrant alien (defined as any alien lawfully

admitted to the United States under an immigration visa for

permanent residence) may be granted a CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET

clearance.

An immigrant alien may be granted a TOP SECRET

clearance for limited access to TOP SECRET information for a

specific contract or program based on the personal and written

determination by the head of a DOD component or the secretary

of the military service concerned that such access is'essential

to meet Government requirements and that the individual is

reliable and trustworthy. When this determination is made, a

report is to be furnished currently to the Assistant Secretary

of Defense (controller).

3. Immigrant aliens who held TOP SECRET clearances as

of 1 June 1972 remain eligible to hold such clearance until

1 July 1974.
-TOP-SECRET-

•savr,LI

Thus, if TIC information is downgraded to SECRET it is

possible for foreigners (immigrant aliens) who have not

sworn an oath of allegiance to the United States to have

access to that information.

Attached are the pertinent DOD regulations for your

information.

SECTION C--CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

General Policy:

a. Each Air Force member will notify his

commander or supervisor immediately upon

becoming aware of any information which

could possibly lead to the unauthorized release or disclosure of classified defense information.

Civilian and military personnel may be

granted a personnel security clearance based

on an evaluation of the results of the appropriate inveatigation or on one of the minimum requirements listed in paragraph 24.

An immigrant alien may be granted a

Final Top Secret clearance based, upon a

favorable EBI, or a Final Secret or Confidential clearance based on a BI, provided the

ROI discloses no derogatory information (attachment 4).

Note: It is be longer assessary for an immigrant

alien to formally declare his intent to become a US

tithes bdon a Naturalisation Court by executing

Naturalisation Form N-$15 in order to be eligible

for a charmer.

The granting of interim clearances will

be kept to the absolute minimum required to

fulfill the mission of a command. An interim

Clearance will not be granted unless a request for personnel security investigation of

the type necessary to satisfy final clearance

requirements, together with all supporting

papers, has been forwarded as prescribed

herein.

Clearance for any category of classified

information will serve as clearance for any

lower category.

When immediate access to classified defense information is required in order for

a US citizen to carry out his assigned task,

and because of exceptional circumstances,

the delay caused by awaiting interim clearance would be harmful to the national interest, the commander authorized 'to grant

clearances may authorize such access, based

on the records immediately available except

in the case of individuals referred to in paragraph 64(3). The use of this provision will

be held to an absolute minimum and Is permissible only if the procedures to satisfy

clearance requirements are in progress. This

action will be recorded in AF Form 47, section III.

conduct of related military operations, the

commander of a numbered Air Force or comparable or higher organization may authorise the issue of an AF Form 47, "Limited Access Authorization," based on such evidence

of trustworthiness as may be known, or as

may be readily or locally available: If time

and the situation permit, the records check

required in paragraph 29d will be conducted.

When such procedures are authorized, authority to issue Limited Access Authorization may be delegated to subordinate

commanders as necessary.

Access in such cases shall be limited

to that information which the individual

must have in order to perform his duties in

connection with the operation.

(3) Limited Access Authorization will

be terminated when no longer needed, and

AF Form 47 will be disposed of as prescribed

in An! 12-50. If need for access is a continuing one, request for investigative action

as soon as the military situation permits.

h. Reports of Marriage to Non-US Nationals. Any Air Force military member or

civilian employee :(or dependent thereof)

who marries a non-US National will report

such marriage through his immediate commander to the commander authorized to issue

clearances.

The individual concerned will annotate the previously submitted DD Form

898 to reflect this change. (This applies both

to those with valid clearances and to those

with clearance actions pending.)

The commander authorized to issue

clearances will determine the effect of such

marriage and will take action as appropriate.

In overseas commands, commanders should

review any investigative report required by

AFR 211-18, and indicate in the remarks

SECTION II—ASSIGNMENT OF NONUS NATIONAL EMPLOYEES TO

SENSITIVE DUTIES

Applicability. This policy applies to all

Air Force activities, regardless of location,

which utilize non-US national employees. It

further aplies to "direct hire" employees, appropriated fund employees, "indirect hire"

employees, nonappropriated fund employees,

consultants, and any other non-US nationals

who are employed at an Air Force activity.

(For general policy on the assignment of a

foreign exchange officer to duties requiring

limited access to classified defense information or unescorted entry to restricted areas,

see AFR 200-9.)

General Security Policy:

Commanders must maintain a capability

to perform their wartime missions without

the use of non-US nationals.

Unless specifically excepted, only US

nationals will be assigned to perform duties

involving access to classified information or

unescorted entry to restricted areas.

(1) Non-US nationals will not be hired

or used to perform such duties when US

nationals (military or civilian) are available,

or may be made available, within a reasonable time period.

(2) The fact that it might be more economical to utilize a non-US national for

duties involving access to classified information or unescorted entry to restricted areas

will not be used as a basis for justification

of their employment or assignment

c. Under exceptional circumstances, wher

the appropriate commander determines tha

the

I r

t7

to the

tompervisoes

the Me

for custody
AFR

a clearly established need exists, and a

qualified US national is not available (or

can not be obtained in a reasonable time

period), a non-US national may be assigned

to perform duties requiring limited access

to classified defines information or =escorted entry to restricted areas. Prior to his

assignment, it must be determined that the

non-US national is eligible to be authorized

such limited access or unescorted entry.

d. A non-US national mil not be hired or,

if hired, will not be retained to fill a position

which requires acmes to e.hsssified defense

information or unescorted entry to restricted

areas under either of the following conditions:

If there is any indication that be

may not be reliable or might act contrary to

the best interests of the national security of

the United States.

If he has a spouse, brother, sister,

children, parents, step parents, foster parents or guardian living in a Communist or •

Communist-controlled country. (See attachment 6 for a list of countries officially considered Communist or Communist-controlled.)

e. An authorisation for limited access or

unescorted entry is valid only for access to

specific classified information, or for entry

to specifically delineated areas within a restricted area, as required to enable the nonUS national to perform his specific duty assignment Procedures will be established to

insure that the access or entry is defined

dearly, and that supervisors and co-workers

fully understand their reponsibriily to insure

that any other access or entry except that

specifically authorized, is prohibited. A nonUS national will not be authorized to act as

an escort within a restricted area.

Prohibited Duties. The hire and use of

'non-US national employees is expressly prohibited for any position which involves:

a. Access to:

Top secret information.

Any classified defense information

has approved in writing the disclosure of the

specific information to the government of the

non-US national employee.

plans, or classified combat operations, intelligence, or counterintelligence plans to include any information which would reveal

objectives, sources, methods or techniques at

classified intelligence or counterintelligence
