"classified information is ONLY supposed to viewed in a SCIF"

No.

No, no, no.

Most classified information is NOT designated SCI. When classified info was mostly paper, it was placed in GSA approved safes in regular 'ole office buildings. You'd get to work, open your safe, and do your work. Most SIPRNet computers are not in SCIFs.

Heck, you can even mail classified documents via USPS. Confidential and secret documents can be sent registered mail.

"authoritative interpretations of law FOR THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH." Suppose the National Security Agency comes up with a new tactic or operation and they want to know if it's legal. My guess is that previous to this EO, worker bees helped the NSA general counsel make a decision brief for the head of the NSA who then made the final legal/illegal decision. This memo means the AG or POTUS are now the decision makers. That's my reading of the memo anyway.

Nope. The article is much more like "if you drop parking lot requirements, you need to demand price parking so there are always a couple of spots available, drivers have incentives to leave, etc."

That's not the law that passed. The law that passed is https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/815 (lengthy law -- see DIVISION H—PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATIONS ACT), page 62 in the PDF.

Also, both the House and the Senate have pending legislation to extend the deadline.
