Protection of Unclassified Security-Related Information (CRS)
Classification is the predominant means of protecting national security information. But even when information is unclassified, there are a number of statutes that can be used to restrict its public availability on security-related grounds.

See “Protection of Security-Related Information” (pdf), September 27, 2006.

“U.S.-India Nuclear Cooperation: A Side-By-Side Comparison of Current Legislation,” September 5, 2006.
“The Use of Federal Troops for Disaster Assistance: Legal Issues,” updated August 14, 2006.
