A classified State Department memorandum central to a federal leak 
investigation contained information about CIA officer Valerie Plame in a 
paragraph marked "(S)" for secret, a clear indication that any Bush 
administration official who read it should have been aware the 
information was classified, according to current and former government 
officials.

<>Plame -- who is referred to by her married name, Valerie Wilson, in 
the memo -- is mentioned in the second paragraph of the three-page 
document, which was written on June 10, 2003, by an analyst in the State 
Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), according to a 
source who described the memo to The Washington Post.
