Sharing information at all levels of classification and control is more important now than ever. In support of homeland securily and coalition warfare we have an increased need to share data with our foreign partners. Our ability to share in a timely manner will determine our ability to Ievcragc our unmatched capabilities. In order to accommodate new and rapidly changing demands to share information and to handle it in a secure electronic environment, information that has been determined releasable through established foreign disclosure procedures to foreign nationals, international organizations or multinational forces shall be marked "Releasable to USA with the applicable country trigraph, international organizations or multinational forces tetragraph". 'I'his wjll enaklc electronic identification and isolation of the data. The "KEL '1'0" control marking was previously only for use on intelligence tnformatiun, but is now authorized for use on all classified defense information. ?he marking "Not Rcleasablc tu Foleigu Nationals" (NOFORN) is slill ouly authorized for use on intclligencc that requires originator approval before being disclosed. 7he use of NOFOKN is governed by Director af Central Intelligence nircctivc 6/7, "Intelligence Disclosure Policy" and is used to identify intelligunce which an originator has determined falls under the criteria of IX'ID 6/7, Attachment B, paragraph C:, "IntelIigcnce Wh~hMay Not be L)~sclosedor Released." U.S. classified information is a national asset to bc conserved and protected and will bc shared in a rrlanner consistent with the need to protect it and ensure the success of the organization's mission. The challenge is to realize the benefits of sharing information while managing the risk. ?'he attached guidance is effective immediately. Please ensure widest dissemination. DoD 52OO.l -R will be updated within 180 days to reflect these changes. A ttaclment As stated Security Classification Marking Instructions The "REL TO" identifies classified information that an originator has prcdctermined to be releasable or has been released. through established foreign disclosure procedures and channels, to the hreign country(ies)/international organizations indicated. Further foreign dissemination of the material (in any forni) is authorized only after obtaining permission from the originator. "REL TO" cannot be used with NOFOlCN on page markings. When a document contains both NOFORN and REL TO portions, NOFORN takes precedence for the markings at the top and bottom of the page. The full marking "REL TO USA//applicable country trigraph(s), international organization or coalition force tetragraph" shall be used after the classification and will appear at the top and bottom of the front cover, if there is one, the title page, if there is one, the first page ild L~ICoulsidtt uT ~ht:back cover, il' there is one.

  • Spying on Friends?: the Franklin Case, AIPAC, and Israel
    International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence, 19: 600–621, 2006 Copyright # Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0885-0607 print=1521-0561 online DOI: 10.1080/08850600600829809 STE´ PHANE LEFEBVRE Spying on Friends?: The Franklin Case, AIPAC, and Israel On 4 August 2005, U.S. Department of Defense official Lawrence Franklin and former American–Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC) staffers Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman were indicted on one or several of the following counts: conspiracy to communicate national defense information to persons not entitled to receive it; communication of national defense information to persons not entitled to receive it; and conspiracy to communicate classified information to agents of a foreign government, publicly identified as Israel. Franklin pleaded guilty and cooperated with the authorities, and was subsequently sentenced to a 12-year prison term. As of this writing, Rosen’s and Weissman’s trial was scheduled to start in August 2006.
