Supreme Court will review laws guarding classified information
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday stepped into a simmering feud between Congress and President Reagan by agreeing to review legislation limiting presidential authority to withhold classified information.
information.
The justices, in a case to be decided by July, agreed to consider reviving a "whistleblower" law decreed unconstitutional by a lower court. The legislation was designed to restrain the president's ability to keep national security information from Congress.
The court also left intact Kansas laws permitting people to use deadly force to defend their homes or personal property even when they are not threatened with death or great bodily harm.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who had breast cancer surgery 10 days ago at Georgetown University Hospital, was back on the bench as she and her fellow justices returned from a two-week recess.
O'Connor, 58, who reportedly had a breast removed, previously said the cancer was detected in an early stage and the prognosis was for a full recovery.
The case involving classified information, a sticking point between Congress and various presidents, provides a new test of where to draw the line separating legislative and executive powers.
The case stems from a national security directive adopted by President Reagan in 1983.
The directive requires federal officials, before they are allowed access to classified information, to sign an agreement stating that they will not disclose the information.
The directive also created a standard form for officials to sign, promising they never will divulge classified or "classifiable" information without written permission from proper authorities.
Some members of Congress bridled at the directive, particularly the use of the word "classifiable."
particularly the use of the word
They said the president is seeking to abridge free speech rights of federal employees and impose "after-the-fact classification of information in order to punish whistleblowers for making disclosures that embarrass their superiors."
