During the early 70's I was an Intelligence Specialist in the Navy. I had differant clearances above Top Secret and was involved with mission planning of nuclear strike missions into the U.S.S.R. (S.I.O.P. - single integrated operational planning). Now I have been contacted by a writer who wants to interview me about my experiences and job back then. I seriously doubt anything I knew then has much to do with what goes on nowdays, but I'm not sure. And don't know if I should comply. Who would I contact to learn how much or what I can talk about?

Please don't give in to our government's communist dictatorship...the people have the right to know EVERYTHING!!! We need to stop playing these stupid games...what's with all the secrets? By the time we get around to doing what we've been planning, the whole world already knows what to expect anyway! We're more talk than action anyway. We police the rest of the world like we treat our own children...do a lot of worthless talking when we need to be handing out @ss beatings! Yeah, they'll probably take the Cold War book information more seriously than real world issues....so go ahead and hide out if you want to, if you're scared!!!

I share this concern, I would consult the Freedom of Information act.
And I would be very aware of what I gave up to get my clearance. I would consult a lawyer. Let a lawyer contact the agency through which you got your clearance.
Without legal advice, I would keep my mouth shut.
I worked briefly for a government agency, but my dad spent his whole career in intelligence. We couldn't even talk to each other about what we did. But since I grew up with "need to know" I was used to it. Best to err on the side of caution, particularly now with the watering down of Habeous Corpus.
If you worked under clearance, probably best not to mention this again, and certainly NOT online. Big Brother is getting rather cranky.

I think you need to call up your old agency and check with them first. If you don't have a phone number or address to contact, try making a call to the local recruiter, Senator, or even FBI office. He or she may be able to find a phone number or something for you.
Anything with that kind of security level should be cleared before you talk about it. While a lot of stuff is now public info or just plain colmmon knowledge, the bulk of it is most likely still classified... North Korea would love to hear about it ;)
My father was in the Army during that time, as a helicopter pilot, and he still doesn't talk about anything with a high security level... He wasn't even in planning!

Are you for real? I had a Top Secret SCI and I remember damn well what the papers I signed said and what my responsibilities are.
Get in touch with Naval Intelligence. It's right where it's always been in Suitland, Maryland.

Anything that is not classified is fair game.... Plus if you had top secret clearence uhh you should already know how to find out
