Sec.  1203.201  Information security objectives.

    The objectives of the NASA Information Security Program are to:
    (a) Ensure that information is classified only when a sound basis 
exists for such classification and only for such period as is necessary.
    (b) Prevent both the unwarranted classification and the 
overclassification of NASA information.
    (c) Ensure the greatest practicable uniformity within NASA in the 
classification of information.
    (d) Ensure effective coordination and reasonable uniformity with 
other Government departments and agencies, particularly in areas where 
there is an interchange of information, techniques or hardware.
    (e) Provide a timely and effective means for downgrading or 
declassifying information when the circumstances necessitating the 
original classification change or no longer exist.
