2. I reiterated the support that the Damage Assessment Team (DAT)
is seeking. Specifically, that we need DIA, (WO )
Departments to provide us with a list of Blue Border the Military reports and (b)(3)
sensitive memoranda that had a major impact on their
organizations. We are focusing on Soviet/Russia and Eastern
Europe during the time-frame of January 1985 through February
1994. We do not need to know all reports that were used but the
ones that had a major impact on programs, policies or doctrine.
We suggested that issues of major acquisitions or policy decisions
were areas to be considered.
3. we also discussed what the Ames damage assessment team was
going to do with the inputs received on this request. We
explained that we were going to review the case files as well as
other intelligence production from sources compromised by Ames to
attempt to determine whether the post- compromise information had
been adulterated in any way. Once some preliminary decisions are
made, the DAT will work with the consumers of the reporting to
determine the impact. The DAT will also document these findings
in the final written assessment. We stated that the tentative
schedule that we are working against is to have a draft damage
assessment ready by 1 May 1995.

4. We also discussed the process of developing a list of Blue
Border reports and sensitive memoranda that substantive personnel
could then review to identify the significant reporting. ms.
Rhenish stated that DIA and the Services had prepared the_lists
and that the lists were now being reviewed. I asked i thei ere
any problems with the process. A point was made that so imes it
is difficult to recognize a report by its title. Wei- some
discussion on this issue, the group determined that we were
approaching the task the correct way and that we would proceed.
We then decided that the Military Departments would provide their
inputs to Ms. Rhenish and she would forward all inputs, including
DIA's, untouched and as she received them, through Blue Border
channels to CIA/CE Division Blue Border point of contact.
will provide their input directly to CIA/CE Division.
5. I was given several action items from this meeting. These
items and their answers are:
� Who is the CIA/CE Division Blue Border point of contact that the
inputs should be given to?
As far as the Ames DAT is concerned we will be working
with the intelligence consumers to assess Ames-related
damage. If we identify reporting from an Ames
compromised case we will work with the consumer to
determine the impact. We will state our finding
the impact in the final damage assessment. DIA,
the Military Departments will be given an opportun y to
coordinate on the damage assessment before it is final.
