Warren E. Burger

“ Justices, judges and cleared court personnel shall not disclose classified information to anyone who does not have a security clearance and who does not require the information in the discharge of an official function. However, nothing contained in these procedures shall preclude a judge from discharging his official duties, including giving appropriate instructions to the jury. Any problem of security involving court personnel or persons acting for the court shall be referred to the court for appropriate action. ”

“ A security clearance for justices and judges is not required, but such clearance shall be provided upon the request of any judicial officer who desires to be cleared. The court shall inform the court security officer or the attorney for the government of the names of court personnel who may require access to classified information. ”

“ The government may obtain information by any lawful means concerning the trustworthiness of persons associated with the defense and may bring such information to the attention of the court for the court’s consideration in framing an appropriate protective order pursuant to Section 3 of the Act. ”
