M.i MORANDUM FOR:
SUBJECT s State Department Cables
I s informed ma that some individuals in DDP
are obtaining rom State Department ROG*:R channel cables without
informing the Cable Secretariat of their receipt.
2. As a result we have on occasion asked State Department for
cables which they have already furnished to the agency. In thee, cases
we are made to look inefficient and there is an unnecessary and
undesirsable delay in furnishing such cables to the requesting individuals.
Not infrequently the requesting individual has been the Director or the
Deputy Director.
3. Ideally. for purposes of control, all non-CIA cables coming
into the agency would come into the Cable Secretariat. However, I
realism that this might make our job more difficult and would disrupt
unnecessarily the present ad hoc arrangements for obtaining certain
cables.
4. 1 prefer to keep our present cha-nsels intact, but in order that
we not request cables from State Department nanacsssa,ily, would YOU
bring to the attention of you he need for going along with the
provisions of U they will kee em lee
informed. I bo err we will have a workable system. P P
