Exemptions claimed for the system:
    Delete entry and replace with ``During the course of Accounts 
Receivable, Indebtedness and Claims actions, exempt materials from 
other systems of records may in turn become part of the case records in 
this system. To the extent that copies of exempt records from those 
`other' systems of records are entered into this correspondence case 
record, the Defense Intelligence Agency hereby claims the same 
exemptions for the records from those `other' systems that are entered 
into this system, as claimed for the original primary systems of 
records which they are a part.
    Records are only exempt from pertinent provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a 
to the extent such provisions have been identified and an exemption 
claimed for the original record and the purposes underlying the 
exemption for the original record still pertain to the record which is 
now contained in this system of records. In general, the exemptions 
were claimed in order to protect properly classified information 
relating to national defense and foreign policy, to avoid interference 
during the conduct of criminal, civil, or administrative actions or 
investigations, to ensure protective services provided the President 
and others are not compromised, to protect the identity of confidential 
sources incident to Federal employment, military service, contract, and 
security clearance determinations, to preserve the confidentiality and 
integrity of Federal testing materials, and to safeguard evaluation 
materials used for military promotions when furnished by a confidential 
source. The exemption rule for the original records will identify the 
specific reasons why the records are exempt from specific provisions of 
5 U.S.C. 552a. An exemption rule for this system has been promulgated 
in accordance with the requirements of 5 U.S.C 553 (b)(1),(2), and (3), 
(c) and (e) and published in 32 CFR part 319.''
