          1.   iO0EtH  0IMITRt    TAR    SQ(F       , understand that upon enter-
          ing on duty with the Central Intelligence Agency I am undertaking a posi-
          tion of trust in that Agency of the Government responsible to the Presi-
          dent and the National Security Council for intelligence relating to the
          security of the United States of America.  I understand that in the
          course of my employment I will acquire information about the Agency and
          its activities and about intelligence acquired or produced by the Agency.

          2. I have read and understand the provisions of the Espionage Act, Title
          18, USC, secs. 793 and 794, and I am aware that unauthorized disclosure
          of classified information relating to the national defense may subject
          me to prosecution for violation of that Act, whether such disclosure be
          made while I am an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency or at any
          time thereafter.

          3. In addition, however, as I am undertaking a position of trust, I have
          a responsibility to the Central Intelligence Agency not to disclose any
          classified information relating to the Agency without proper authoriza-
          tion.  I undertake, therefore, not to discuss with or disclose to any
          person not authorized to hear it such information relating to the Central
          Intelligence Agency, its activities, or to intelligence material under
          the control of the Agency.  I further understand that this undertaking
          is a condition of my employment with the Central Intelligence Agency, that
          its violation may subject me to immediate dismissal for cause or other
          appropriate disciplinary.action, and that this undertaking shall be equally
          binding upon me after my employment with the Agency as during it.

          4. I understand that the burden is upon me to ascertain whether or not
          information is.- classified and if. so, .who is authorized to receive it,
          and, therefore, I will obtain the decision of authorized officials of
          the Agency on these points prior to disclosing information relating to
          the Agency, and failure to obtain such a decision will be grounds for my
          dismissal.

          5. I understand that my unauthorized action or utterance in the nature
          of a publication or which would reasonably be expected to result in pub-
          licity on intelligence or intelligence activities would be in violation
          of Government and Agency regulations and would be grounds for my dismissal.
