OK. See:
1) http://digg.com/security/U.S._gov_t_mandates_laptop_security
2) http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2006/m06-16.pdf

Bullet #1 from the PDF reads:
1) Encrypt "all" data on mobile computers/devices which carry agency
data unless the data is determined to be non-sensitive, in writing, by
your Deputy Secretary or an individual he/she may designate in
writing;

So encrypting certain files on the laptop will NOT suffice. You have
to encrypt "All Data".

If you are NOT encrypting partial data on the device, you have to get
an written exception from the Deputy Secretary.
