NOFORN is serious. It means no dissemination to foreign (non-US) nationals.

The second document is marked Unclassified. That leads me to think this all may not so serious, since the second document actually provides more information than the first. These are briefing documents for people outside of the NSA, like Intelligence Committee members.
