Which Executive Order amended E.O. 10865?

• A. E.O. 13764
• B. E.O. 10450
• C. E.O. 12829
• D. E.O. 13869

Answer: (C)

This question hinges on how federal security policy was updated to cover contractor safeguards. E.O. 12829, issued in 1993, created the National Industrial Security Program, which standardizes how classified information is protected in the industrial and contractor context. To implement that program, this order amended E.O. 10865, updating its provisions to align with the new industrial security framework and the accompanying Industrial Security Manual. The other executive orders listed address different topics and do not modify the 10865 framework in the same way.
