On a fair number of occassions I have been told that federal type folks have made statements to the effect that there is no such thing as a "TOP SECRET" classification of US government docs. Since really secret things tend to get neither confirmed nor denied, I am inclined to believe this. Thus SECRET is the top classification in today's government/military. If anybody knows otherwise I would be interested in the information.

In high school I was in JROTC and was put in charge of security for our batallion. I read the army's guides to physical security. These books were dated early 80's and late 70's, so the situation might have changed, but I doubt it. They denoted three information security clearance levels. CLASSIFIED, SECRET, and TOP SECRET. If TOP SECRET doesn't exist now, it definately did just a few years ago. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-= Tom Cross AKA The White Ninja / Decius 6i5 */^\* -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=- TWN615@mindvox.phantom.com GT7508B@prism.gatech.edu =-=-=-=-=-=-= =- "Government is not a reason, not an eloquence; it is a force.
