Date

Jan 7, 1987

Description

The Garrett memo informs Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger that the affidavit that has been prepared for him has been approved by the CIA, DIA, NSA, and Navy and notes that the affidavit is lengthier than he would normally approve but its length "is consistent with the scope of Pollard's espionage activities" as well the need for detailed description in order to insure that a judge would understand the extent of damage.

The newly released version of Weinberger's includes the actual classification of the memo - Top Secret Umbra, which indicates that in the unredacted version it contains sensitive communications intelligence.
