President Reagan: ‘Unauthorized disclosures are harmful’

‘We intend to take appropriate administrative action’

President Reagan on August 30 issued the following as a “Memoran¬ dum for Federal Employees”: Recent unauthorized dis¬ closures of classified information concerning our diplomatic, military, and intelligence activities threaten our ability to carry out national security policy. I have issued a directive de¬ tailing procedures to curb these dis¬ closures and to streamline procedures for investigating them. However, un¬ authorized disclosures are so harmful to our national security that I wish to underscore to each of you the serious¬ ness with which I view them. The unauthorized disclosure of our Nation’s classified information by those entrusted with its protection io improper, unethical, and plain wrong. This kind of unauthorized disclosure is more than a so-called “leak”—it is illegal. The Attorney General has been asked to investigate a number of recent disclosures of classified infor¬ mation. Let me make it clear that we intend to take appropriate administra¬ tive action against any Federal em¬ ployee found to have engaged in unau¬ thorized disclosure of classified information, regardless of rank or po¬ sition. Where circumstances warrant, cases will also be referred for criminal prosecution.

restrictions on the Soviet people here comparable to those placed on the Americans in that country.

Vatican amendment In offering tne Vatican amend¬ ment, Senator Richard Lugar (R.-Ind.) observed that “juridically, the Vatican is a sovereign state and is formally recognized as such by over 100 nations.” He described it as “a sensitive diplomatic forum” and as “a significant political force for decency in the world.” Mr. Lugar continued: “This amendment would repeal the prohibi¬ tion, enacted in 1867, against the ex¬ penditure of funds to support a diplo¬ matic mission to the Vatican. This would permit, but would not require, the reestablishment of full and formal diplomatic relations with the Holy See, and I anticipate that the Presi¬ dent. in all likelihood, would take this action once this impediment is removed. “The United States maintained consular relations with the Vatican States from 1797 until 1848 and offi¬ cial diplomatic relations from 1848 until 1867. The decision in that year to withhold funds from the American mission in Rome was rooted in contro¬ versies arising from the struggle for Italian unification. Its continuation to¬ day is an anachronism. “Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan, rec¬ ognizing the diplomatic importance of the Vatican, chose to appoint personal representatives to the Vatican, and (Photo by Ann Thomas) this awkward charade continues.”
