I am negotiating a couple subcontracts which have prime SAMHSA & HCFA
contracts.  They each contain the HHSAR clause 352.227-24, Confidentiality
of Information, which I haven't had to negotiate for awhile.  Previously I
would ask it to be removed based on the fact that a federal district court
judge had declared this clause illegal.  This is from a 1991 court
decision.  Can anyone advise whether the decision was ever overturned, and
it is still an appropriate justification.

Thanks for your help.
