Take notice that on June 9 and 10, 1993, an interagency Task Force chaired
|
|
by the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) will convene to hear oral
|
|
presentations by interested parties on proposals to change the system under
|
|
which information is classified, safeguarded, and declassified in the
|
|
interest of national security. That system is currently embodied in Executive
|
|
Order 12356, entitled "National Security Information," 47 FR 27836, April 6,
|

|
|
|

Background
|
|
|
|
By Presidential Review Directive, an interagency Task Force chaired by ISOO
|
|
is responsible for drafting and proposing to the National Security Council no
|
|
later than November 30, 1993, a security classification system to replace
|
|
E.O. 12356. The Task Force has been divided into seven Committees to gather
|
|
input, consider proposals, and recommend changes to be incorporated into the
|
|
draft order, These Committees are as follows:
|
|
Committee on Classification Standards: This Committee is responsible for
|
|
responding to the following questions: In the post Cold War era, what types
|
|
of information continue to require protection through classification in the
|
|
interest of our national security? Do we need three levels of classification?
|
|
Committee on Excessive Classification: This Committee is responsible for
|
|
responding to the following question: What steps can be taken to avoid
|
|
excessive classification?
|
|
Committee on Duration of Classification: This Committee is responsible for
|
|
responding to the following question: What steps can be taken to declassify
|
|
information as quickly as possible?
|
|
Committee on Declassification: This Committee is responsible for responding
|
|
to the following question: What steps can be taken to declassify or otherwise
|
|
dispose of the large amounts of classified information that currently exist
|
|
in Government archives or other repositories?
|
|
Committee on Access and Dissemination: This Committee is responsible for
|
|
responding to the following questions: What steps can be taken to control
|
|
unnecessary distribution and reproduction of classified information? What
|
|
steps can be taken to enforce the "need-to-know" principle?
|
|
Committee on Oversight: This Committee is responsible for responding to the
|
|
following questions: What steps can be taken to reduce the number of, and to
|
|
provide adaquate oversight and control over, special access programs? What
|
|
steps can be taken to increase individual accountability for the operation of
|
|
the classification system? What steps can be taken to improve oversight of
|
|
the classification program generally?
|
|
Committee on Safeguards: This Committee is responsible for reponding to the
|
|
following questions: In what way should the executive order address
|
|
information systems security? What requirements, restrictions, and other
|
|
safeguards should be specifically addressed in the executive order taking
|
|
into account (i) damage from unauthorized disclosures; (ii) existing or
|
|
anticipated threats: and (iii) the short and long-term costs of the
|
|
requirements, restrictions, or other safeguards?
