             1. I, -_.                              __, 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 Pr6si-
             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, sees. 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.
