The term ?unauthorized person? means any person who, or agency which, is not authorized to receive information of the categories set forth in subsection (a) of this section, by the President, or by the head of a department or agency of the United States Government which is expressly designated by the President to engage in communication intelligence activities for the United States.

Anyone can cut and paste, but the combination of reading and understanding eludes you. Either you did not read what you just copied and pasted, or you didn't understand it.
When it says "head of a department or agency of the United States Government which is expressly designated by the President to engage in communication intelligence activities", who exactly do you think they are talking about? I'll give you a hint - It's not the Secretary of Education.
The head of such agencies are pretty much allowed to read in anyone they wish. In fact, the list people who get to decide who is allowed to see classified information include the Secretary, the Deputy Secretaries, the Under Secretaries, Assistant Secretaries, and some Executive Level IV officials and their deputies; Chiefs of Mission, Charges d?affaires, and U.S. Representatives to various international organizations.
This is why Clinton was never charged - Everything she did was legal. This is why the FBI wrote this draft before the investigation was done.... They knew no laws were broken. The only thing this proves is that the FBI clearly knew this was nothing more than a witch hunt.
