incorporated  in  the  text  of  communication  messages,  and 
associated  with  data  stored  or  processed  in  automatic  data 
processing  systems.     Unless  the  entire  document  justifies 
•  the  protection  of  the  control  marking(s),    each  portion 
requiring  the  marking(s)  shall,   to  the  extent  feasible,   be
