“This report provides information on the status of the security classification program as required by Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information. It provides statistics and analysis concerning key components of the system, primarily classification and declassification, and coverage of ISOOs reviews. It also contains information with respect to industrial security in the private sector as required by Executive Order 12829, as amended, National Industrial Security Program. We believe the direction you have provided will garner the commitment that is necessary to support the integrity of the classification system and we will focus our oversight efforts in the remainder of FY 2010 on ensuring that agencies take the actions necessary to bolster the foundation of the classification system. Agencies must strike a balance between preserving, protecting, and advancing National Security and supporting the goal of conducting business in an open manner to the greatest extent possible. Only then will the American people be fully confident that the classified national security information program serves them well.”
