desired. However, there are several other safe- 

 guards prescribed for use. These are not se- 

 curity classifications, as such, but indicate an 

 increased degree of security to be applied when 

 handling items thus marked. 



Restricted Data 



Restricted Data is assigned to documents or 

 material concerning the design, manufacture, 

 or utilization of atomic weapons; the production 

 of special nuclear material; or the use of spe- 

 cial nuclear material in the production of en- 

 ergy, unless such data or materials have been 

 legally removed from this category. 



For Official Use Only 



"For Official Use Only" is assigned to offi- 

 cial information which requires protection in 

 accordance with statutory requirements or in 

 the public interest, but which is not within the 

 purview of the rules for safeguarding information 

 in the interest of national defense. Its descrip- 

 tion, use, and limitations are set forth in the 

 effective edition of SECNAVINST. 5570.2. 



Special Handing Required/Not 

 Releasable To Foreign Nationals 



The marking "NO FOREIGN DISSEM" may 

 be used on documents containing information 

 concerning (1) intelligence, and (2) crypto se- 

 curity, transmission security, and emission se- 

 curity systems used to transmit intelligence, 

 when it has been predetermined that the data 

 may not be released to foreign nationals or 

 governments. The marking "NOFORN" is 

 authorized for electrically transmitted messages 

 and automatic data processing. 



Classified intelligence documents or non- 

 intelligence documents, even though they bear 

 no control markings, may not be released to 

 foreign nationals or foreign governments with- 

 out prior approval of the Chief of Naval Opera- 

 tions. Therefore, all classified documents, 

 whether so marked or not, are NOFORN. 



Special Access Programs 



"Special Access Programs" are those pro- 

 grams identified with specific projects or sub- 

 jects requiring security protection or handling 



not guaranteed by the normal security classifi- 

 cation and requiring that the program mate- 

 rials be handled and reviewed only by specially 

 cleared or authorized personnel. 



The administrative responsibility for any 

 special access program rests with the com- 

 mand having the need for a special access 

 program. 



VIOLATIONS AND COMPROMISES 



Any person having knowledge of the loss or 

 possible compromise of classified matter must 

 report the fact immediately to a responsible 

 official. The official then takes the proper action 

 as outlined in detail in chapter 6 of the regulation. 



Violations of regulations pertaining to the 

 safeguarding of classified information, but not 

 resulting in its loss, compromise, or disclo- 

 sure, are acted upon by the commanding officer. 



It must always be remembered that the AG 

 is responsible for classified material in his 

 care. Anyone who mishandles classified mate- 

 rial is disciplined by his commanding officer 

 or by a court-martial, depending on the cir- 

 cumstances. 



PERSONAL CENSORSHIP 



It is quite natural for a man to be proud of 

 the work he is doing. He wants to share this 

 pride with his friends and family. Enthusiasm 

 toward one's work is clearly a desirable trait, 

 but not when it results in discussing classified 

 information. 



To maintain security one should decline to 

 discuss official matters by skillful maneuver- 

 ing of the conversation or by outright refusal to 

 talk shop. 



CUSTODY 



Stowage 



The first obligation of any person working 

 with classified material is to protect that ma- 

 terial. Top Secret, Secret, or Confidential ma- 

 terial may neither be removed from its 

 designated working space without approval of 

 competent authority nor left unguarded. It is 

 kept locked in its proper accommodation, for a 

 single glance at a classified intelligence plan
