(U) SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
An Agreement between ____________________________________________________ and the United States.
(Name Printed or Typed)
1. (U) Intending to be legally bound, I hereby accept the obligations contained in this Agreement in consideration of my being granted
access to information or material protected within Special Access Programs, hereinafter referred to in this Agreement as Sensitive
Compartmented Information (SCI). I have been advised that SCI involves or derives from intelligence sources or methods and is
classified or is in process of a classification determination under the standards of Executive Order 13526 or other Executive order or
statute. I understand and accept that by being granted access to SCI, special confidence and trust shall be placed in me by the United
States Government.
2. (U) I hereby acknowledge that I have received a security indoctrination concerning the nature and protection of SCI, including the
procedures to be followed in ascertaining whether other persons to whom I contemplate disclosing this information or material have
been approved for access to it, and I understand these procedures. I understand that I may be required to sign subsequent agreements
upon being granted access to different categories of SCI. I further understand that all my obligations under this agreement continue to
exist whether or not I am required to sign such subsequent agreements.
3. (U) I have been advised that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause
irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation. I hereby agree that I will never divulge anything
marked as SCI or that I know to be SCI to anyone who is not authorized to receive it without prior written authorization from the United
States Government department or agency (hereinafter Department or Agency) that last authorized my access to SCI. I understand that
it is my responsibility to consult with appropriate management authorities in the Department or Agency that last authorized my access to
SCI, whether or not I am still employed by or associated with that Department or Agency or a contractor thereof, in order to ensure that
I know whether information or material within my knowledge or control that I have reason to believe might be, or related to or derived
from SCI, is considered by such Department or Agency to be SCI. I further understand that I am also obligated by law and regulation
not to disclose any classified information or material in an unauthorized fashion.
4. (U) In consideration of being granted access to SCI and of being assigned or retained in a position of special confidence and trust
requiring access to SCI, I hereby agree to submit for security review by the Department or Agency that last authorized my access to
such information or material, any writing or other preparation in any form, including a work of fiction, that contains or purports to contain
any SCI or description of activities that produce or relate to SCI or that I have reason to believe are derived from SCI, that I contemplate
disclosing to any person not authorized to have access to SCI or that I have prepared for public disclosure. I understand and agree that
my obligation to submit such preparations for review applies during the course of my access to SCI and thereafter, and I agree to make
any required submissions prior to discussing the preparation with, or showing it to, anyone who is not authorized to have access to SCI.
I further agree that I will not disclose the contents of such preparation with, or show it to, anyone who is not authorized to have access
to SCI until I have received written authorization from the Department or Agency that last authorized my access to SCI that such
disclosure is permitted.
5. (U) I understand that the purpose of the review described in paragraph 4 is to give the United States a reasonable opportunity to
determine whether the preparation submitted pursuant to paragraph 4 sets forth any SCI. I further understand that the Department or
Agency to which I have made a submission will act upon it, coordinating within the Intelligence Community when appropriate, and make
a response to me within a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 working days from date of receipt.
6. (U) I have been advised that any breach of this Agreement may result in my termination of my access to SCI and removal from a
position of special confidence and trust requiring such access, as well as the termination of my employment or other relationships with
any Department or Agency that provides me with access to SCI. In addition, I have been advised that any unauthorized disclosure of
SCI by me may constitute violations of United States criminal laws, including provisions of Sections 793, 794, 798, and 952, Title 18,
United States Code, and of Section 783(b), Title 50, United States Code. Nothing in this agreement constitutes a waiver by the United
States of the right to prosecute me for any statutory violation.
7. (U) I understand that the United States Government may seek any remedy available to it to enforce this Agreement including, but not
limited to, application for a court order prohibiting disclosure of information in breach of this Agreement. I have been advised that the
action can be brought against me in any of the several appropriate United States District Courts where the United States Government
may elect to file the action. Court costs and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the United States Government may be assessed
against me if I lose such action.
8. (U) I understand that all information to which I may obtain access by signing this Agreement is now and will remain the property of
the United States Government unless and until otherwise determined by an appropriate official or final ruling of a court of law. Subject
to such determination, I do not now, nor will I ever, possess any right, interest, title, or claim whatsoever to such information. I agree
that I shall return all materials that may have come into my possession or for which I am responsible because of such access, upon
demand by an authorized representative of the United States Government or upon the conclusion of my employment or other
relationship with the United States Government entity providing me access to such materials. If I do not return such materials upon
request, I understand this may be a violation of Section 793, Title 18, United States Code.
9. (U) Unless and until I am released in writing by an authorized representative of the Department or Agency that last provided me with
access to SCI, I understand that all conditions and obligations imposed on me by this Agreement apply during the time I am granted
access to SCI, and at all times thereafter.
10. (U) Each provision of this Agreement is severable. If a court should find any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, all
other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement concerns SCI and does not set forth such other
