Not for Release
I am looking for a formal, legal term which means "not for release".
My department is sending draft document to some influential members of the public to elicit their views about the contents of the document. But because the document is still in the draft stage and is not ready to be released to the public or the press, we would want to alert the recipients to that warning. We would want the warning to be at the header and footer.
Could someone suggest a legal (or even Latin) word or term which conveys the meaning that the document is a "Draft" and is not fit for release?

I do not think there is a legal term. What you should do is insert something like the following at the beginning: This document is a draft only, provided for your comments; it is not intended for distribution to the general public or press as its contents are provisional . What you can also do, and which may be more useful, is to put a full page watermark of the word "DRAFT" diagonally across every page - this makes it difficult to reproduce without it being obvious that it is a draft.

I cannot think of a single word which satisfies your purpose. Depending on the context, you might use "confidential" or "proprietary" as a warning. Those words sound legal and should scare anyone who might think to distribute the document. If you just want to communicate, however, a nice general disclaimer is "Draft - For discussion purposes only."
