Bush sent a memo Friday to the attorney general, the secretaries of State, Treasury, and Defense, and the CIA and FBI directors, instructing them on "protecting American lives" and maintaining "the proper level of confidentiality" of classified or sensitive law enforcement information. The president and White House officials were upset after details from last Tuesday's intelligence briefings on Capitol Hill found their way into news articles. "We have an obligation to protect military, operational security, intelligence sources, and methods, and sensitive law enforcement investigations," Bush wrote, outlining procedures: Only the principals themselves, or officers expressly designated by the principals, are allowed to brief members of Congress. Classified or sensitive briefings will be given only to the House speaker, House minority leader, Senate minority and majority leaders, and the chairmen and ranking members on the intelligence committees. Bush wrote that he had similarly informed House and Senate leaders that same morning. The policy "shall remain in effect until you receive further notice from me," he said. White House spokeswoman Ann Womack called the memo a "pro forma communication, standard procedure" and said it was not written out of anger over any particular leaks. © Copyright 2001 The Associated Press ------------------------ Yahoo!
