NOTE TO GENERAL BRADBURN

SUBJECT: Coordination on Attached Package - Security

Policy for Military Space Program

The attached package recommends cancellation of S-5200.13,

the Directive which establishes the Special Access Required

category. It also cites the new DOD Regulation 5200.IR, which

implements Executive Order 11652. We feel that these actions

will not impact on the maintenance of our compartmented Ilisystems. The DCI specifically exempted both the

nd TK Systems from Executive Order 11652. Normal

cation channels will not be aware of the perpetuation

of the compartments. Dr. MicLucas illIIIIIIIhnd Mr. Helms

is TALENT-KEYHOLE 111. NRO implements on o the Executive

Order has been effected to the field. The new DOD 5200.IR

should not have any impact on our security protection since

it is "normal."

Recommend that you coordinate on the package.

umeimmy

This is a recommendation to cancel DoD Directive 0-5200.13,

"Security Policy for Military Space Programs".

There are no military space programs carried under the requirements

of DoD Directive S-5200.13 or AFR 205-23 which implements the Directive

with the removal .of Defense Support Program from Special Access Required

(EAR). (Atch 2).

3. It is clearly stated in DoD 5200.1R, "The Information Security Program Regulation", that dissemination of classified information orally,

in writing, or by any other means, shall be limited to those persons

whose official duties require knowledge or possession thereof (Atch 3).

This policy of limiting access must be applied to all information including military space programs.

A new policy in DoD 5200.1R also emphasizes that there should be no

need to resort to formal Special Access Programs requiring extraordinary

procedures and controls (Atch 4),

011'28 February 1972, SAF/RD dispatched a Memorandum to DDR&E stating

inter alia that when we had removed all programs from the SAR category,

ii7WEEM-Fequest DoD Directive 5200.13 be rescinded (Atch 5, extract).

RECOMMENDATION

6. Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Research and Development) sign

MEMORANDUM FOR DIRECTOR OF DEFENSE RESEARCH & ENGINEERING

SUBJECT: Cancellation of DoD Directive S-5200.13

Reference is made to my Memorandum of February 28 8 1972,

subject, "DoD Directive 5200.13".

This is to advise that the last military space program

has been removed from the Special Access Required (SAR)

category.which was established under DoD Directive S-5200.138

"Security Policy for Military Space Programs".

The guidance in the DoD Information Security Program

Regulation (DoD 5200.1R) which implements the new Executive

Order 11652, "Classification and Declassification of

National Security Information and Material", emphasizes

the policy to apply the "need to know" principle in the

regular security system so there will be no need to resort

to formal Special Access Programs requiring extraordinary

procedures and controls. The policy of limiting access

must be applied to all classified information including

military space. programs.

In view of the above and my Memorandum of February 288

1972, request DoD Directive S-5200,13 be cancelled.

ACCESS, DISSEMINATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY

SECTION 1

ACCESS

7-100 Policy

The dissemination of classified information orally, in writing,

or by any other means, shall be limited to those persons whose

official duties require lui.owledge or possession thereof. No one

nirr Tirirtb have access to classified information solely by virtue

of rank or position. The final responsibility for determining

whether a person's official duties require that he possess or have

access to any element or item of classified information, and whether

he has been granted the appropriate security clearance by proper

authority, rests upon each individual who has authorized possession,

knowledge, or control of the information involved and not upon the

prospective recipient. These principles are equally applicable if

the prospective recipient is an organizational entity, including

commands, other Federal Agencies, defense contractors, foreign

-governments, and others.

7-101 Determination of Trustworthiness

Except as provided in 7-106 below, no person shall be given

access to classified inforMaiiiii • Or material unless a determination

has been made as to his trustworthiness. The determination of

eligibility, referred to as a security clearance, will be based on a

background or full field investigation for Top Secret and on a

National Agency Check or Entrance NAC for Secret and Confidential, and in accordance with the standards and criteria of DoD

Directives 5210. 8 (reference (1)) and 5220. 6 (reference (t)), as

appropriate. Interim clearances may be granted in accordance with

the provisions of DoD Directive 5210.8. However, United States

citizen employees of contractors with classified Government contracts may be.granted Confidential clearances by the contractor

under policies established by the Assistant Secretary of Defense

CHAPTER XII

SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAMS

12-100 Policy

It is the policy of the Department of Defense to utilize the

standard classification categories and the applicable sections of

Executive Order 11652 and its implementing National Security

Council Directive (NSCD) to limit access to classified information

on a "need-to-know" basis to personnel who have been determined

to be trustworthy pursuant to such Order and Directive. It is the •

further policy to apply the "need-to-know" principle in the regular

system so that there will be no need to resort to formal Special

Access Programs requiring extraordinary procedures, and controls,

such as formal access determinations, special briefings, reporting

procedures, and recorded formal access lists.

12-101 Definition

A Special Access Program is any program imposing "need-toknow" or access controls beyond those normally provided for access

to Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret information. Such a program

includes, but is not limited to, special clearance, adjudication, or

investigative requirements, special designation of officials authorized

to determine "need-to-know", or special lists of persons determined

.

to have a "need-to-know".

12-102 Existing Programs

All Special Access Programs, as defined above, which are in

existence and which were originated by any Department of Defense

Component or element of a Component, shall be reported to the

Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) within thirty (30) days

from the date of promulgation of this Regulation. Such report shall

include the following information:

• The full name of the program, and its code name,

if applicable.

The date the program was established and the title

of the authorizing official.
