CRYPTOGRAPHIC CLEARANCE - BRIEFING STATEMENT

1. I, David A. Phillips, about to be authorized to have

custody of,

access to, or knowledge of CIA staff cryptographic

material or intormation, and fully understanding that the

preservation of the security of cryptographic material or

information is vital to the national interests of the United

States, do solemnly swear (or affirm) and declare without any

mental

unauthorized person. I understand that the only persons

authorized to have custody of, access to, or knowledge of CIA

stall cryptographic material or information are those who hold

a current CIA cryptographic clearance and need the specific

material or information for the proper performance of their

official duties.

2.

I further swear (or affirm) that I will also protect

to the

best of my ability the security of the cryptographic

material or information of other U.S. Government agencies should

I gain possession or knowledge of such material or information

as

the result of my performance of CIA cryptographic duties or

in any other manner.

3.

I will thoroughly familiarize myself with the pertinent

communications security regulations, instructions, and principles

which govern the protection of cryptographic material or infor-

mation.

I will at all times provide the required degree of

physical security in the handling of the material to ensure that

it does not fall into unauthorized hands or be exposed to or

otherwise be made known to unauthorized persons.

4. I have read the provisions of Public Law 513 of 13 May

1950.

I understand that I am bound by that Act, both presently

and also after the termination of my employment with CIA and/or

the revocation of my cryptographic clearance. I fully understand

that improper disclosure or loss of cryptographic material or

information could subject me to punishment under the provisions

of that Act, or as provided by the appropriate regulations and

practices of CIA.

-2-

I understand that a cryptographic clearance is not a

permanent clearance, that it will be revoked immediately should

I fail to maintain the required security standards, or for lack

of need or for other substantial reasons. I understand that

revocation of my cryptographic clearance bars me automatically

from further access to cryptographic information, but does not

release me from my obligation to protect the security of

cryptographic information,

the knowledge

of which I might still

retain.
