Global Disaster Information Network
This executive order establishes the Global Disaster Information Network, a coordinated federal effort led by an Interagency Coordinating Committee (co-chaired by the Vice President's office, NOAA, and State Department) to improve how the U.S. government uses information technology to collect and share disaster-related information for domestic and international preparedness, response, and recovery. A Committee Support Office will develop plans and strategies, with NOAA providing administrative and funding support.

President Clinton delegated presidential reporting duties under sections 1402 and 1406 of the FY2000 National Defense Authorization Act to the Secretary of Defense. The memorandum specifies interagency coordination requirements for two classified reports to Congress, with section 1402 addressing proliferation threats and section 1406 addressing weapons of mass destruction, requiring concurrence from State, Commerce, CIA, Treasury, and FBI before submission.
Nazi War Criminal Records Interagency Working Group
This executive order establishes an interagency working group led by the Archivist of the United States to locate, inventory, and declassify Nazi war criminal records for public release at the National Archives, with a report to Congress due within one year and the group terminating after three years.
Open Enrollment Season for Participants in the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System and the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System
This executive order establishes a six-month open enrollment window from November 1, 1998 to April 30, 1999, allowing participants in the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System and the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System to elect to transfer to newer pension systems—the Foreign Service Pension System and Federal Employees' Retirement System, respectively. The order aligns these specialized federal retirement systems with a similar open enrollment opportunity previously provided to civil service employees under the 1997 Federal Employees' Retirement System Open Enrollment Act.
Delegation of Authority Under Section 803(a) of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997
President Clinton delegated to the Director of Central Intelligence the authority to make certain determinations under Section 803(a) of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (50 U.S.C. § 404d), which concerns intelligence community personnel management matters. The memorandum was published in the Federal Register as directed.
Strengthened Protections for Human Subjects of Classified Research
This 1997 presidential memorandum strengthens ethical protections for human subjects in classified government research by implementing recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments. It prohibits waiver of informed consent for classified research, requires disclosure of sponsoring agencies and classification status to subjects, mandates special institutional review board procedures including nongovernmental members and appeals processes, requires annual public disclosure of secret research projects, and bars agencies from conducting such research without first adopting modified Common Rule regulations.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
This executive order establishes the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection to study vulnerabilities in systems like telecommunications, power, banking, and emergency services, and creates an interim Infrastructure Protection Task Force within the FBI to coordinate threat response until the Commission completes its work. It mandates public-private collaboration to assess physical and cyber threats and develop a national protection strategy.
Administration of Export Controls
This executive order establishes a structured interagency process for reviewing export license applications under the Export Administration Act and related regulations. It sets specific timelines for license review (90 days maximum), creates a three-tier dispute resolution system (Operating Committee, Advisory Committee on Export Policy, and Export Administration Review Board), and defines procedures for prelicense checks and government-to-government assurances.
Interagency Security Committee
This executive order creates a permanent Interagency Security Committee (ISC) chaired by the GSA Administrator to set government-wide security policies and standards for federal civilian facilities. It mandates cooperation from all executive agencies and authorizes the committee to develop security standards, share intelligence, assess technology, and maintain a centralized database of federal facilities.
Access to Classified Information
Executive Order 12968 establishes a uniform federal personnel security program governing access to classified information. It sets eligibility standards requiring background investigations, need-to-know determinations, and nondisclosure agreements; mandates financial disclosure for certain sensitive positions; creates reciprocal acceptance of security clearances across agencies; and provides procedural protections for employees denied or revoked access, while explicitly prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation in clearance decisions.
Classified National Security Information
This executive order establishes a comprehensive uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information across the federal government. It creates automatic declassification timelines (generally 10 years for original classification, 25 years for historically valuable records), establishes new oversight bodies, and mandates training and procedural requirements for officials with classification authority. The order significantly expands transparency by requiring declassification instructions on all classified documents and creating mechanisms for public challenge of classification decisions.
Release of Imagery Acquired by Space-Based National Intelligence Reconnaissance Systems
This executive order declassified and transferred historical Cold War-era satellite imagery from the Corona, Argon, and Lanyard missions to public archives within 18 months. It also established a permanent review program for declassifying other obsolete intelligence imagery, with a 5-year deadline for broad-area film-return systems.
Foreign Intelligence Physical Searches
This executive order delegates authority to the Attorney General to approve warrantless physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes up to one year, and to apply for court orders for such searches under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It also designates specific senior national security officials to certify applications for physical search orders.
National Defense Industrial Resources Preparedness
This executive order delegates presidential authorities under the Defense Production Act of 1950 to cabinet secretaries and agency heads for national defense industrial resource preparedness. It establishes frameworks for priorities and allocations of materials and services, expansion of productive capacity through loans and guarantees, labor supply management, and defense industrial base information systems, while revoking and consolidating eleven prior executive orders.
Drawdown of Commodities and Services To Assist the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
President Clinton authorized a drawdown of up to $6 million in U.S. government commodities and services from State, Justice, Defense, FBI, CIA, and other agencies to support the UN War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, bypassing normal ceiling limits under emergency foreign assistance authorities.
Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments
This executive order creates a temporary Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments to investigate and evaluate U.S. government-sponsored human radiation experiments conducted from 1944 to 1974, and to provide recommendations on ethical and scientific standards to an interagency working group. The committee of up to 15 members will review specific Cold War-era experiments including the 'Green Run test' and various radiation warfare tests, with authority to recommend notification of affected individuals or descendants about health risks.
