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.
Such statutory controls on unclassified security-related information are usefully cataloged in a new report from the Congressional Research Service.
See “Protection of Security-Related Information” (pdf), September 27, 2006.
