Classified Information: Costs of Protection Are Integrated With Other Security Costs

Citation
General Accounting Office, Classified Information: Costs of Protection Are Integrated With Other Security Costs (NSIAD-94-55) (Oct. 20, 1993) (Summary).

Overview
The basic question is whether classification requirements and processes can be adjusted as world conditions change. A recent presidential directive to reevaluate how national security information is protected should result in a new executive order on this subject. If some requirements end up being reduced, then the attendant costs will likely also be reduced.
