Executive Order 12356, as enacted in HR 10-244, is the primary authority for this policy.

Individual researchers and former Presidential appointees may be granted access to classified files under these provisions if they sign a confidentiality agreement and agree to allow the CIA to examine their paper to verify it does not include any sensitive material.

Thomas’ work was then evaluated in compliance with his secrecy agreement and authorized on March 2, 1995, by the Directorate of Operations’ Information Review Officer, with the Office of General Counsel’s confirmation.

Thomas authored an article for the Central Intelligence Agency’s journal, Studies in Intelligence, in 1996, detailing his experience with the CIA’s classified files after being granted the unusual privilege of historical access.
