Sec. 1213.105  Interviews.

    (a) NASA personnel will respond promptly to requests to media 
representatives for information or interviews.
    (b) Normally, requests for interviews with NASA officials will be 
made through the appropriate Public Affairs Office. However, journalists 
will have direct access to those NASA officials they seek to interview.
    (c) Information given to the press will be on an ``on-the-record'' 
basis only and attributable to the person(s) making the remarks. Any 
NASA employee providing material to the press will identify himself/
herself as the source.
    (d) Any attempt by news media representatives to obtain classified 
information will be reported through the Headquarters Office of Public 
Affairs or Installation Public Affairs Office to the Installation 
Security Office. The knowing disclosure of classified information to 
unauthorized individuals will be cause for disciplinary actions against 
the NASA employee involved.
    (e) Public information volunteered by a NASA official will not be 
considered exclusive to any one media source and will be made available 
to other sources, if requested.
    (f) For a DoD classified operation, all inquiries concerning this 
activity will be responded to by the designated DoD officer.
