dissemination-of certain intelligence material to intelligence contractors
who have a valid need-to-know. The importance of safeguarding classified
intelligence information cannot be over emphasized. The disseminating
agency should, therefore, consider carefully each item of intelligence
which it, transmits to a contractor and bear in mind the fact that the
.more widespread the dissemination of a document, the greater are its
chances of compromise.
