I 'IORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
VIA : The Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Liaison with the Federal Bureau of Investigation
1. At a conference on 4 August 1949 attended by the Assistant Direc-
tors of all of the offices of CIA, by the Chief, ICAPS; the Chief, I&3 and
by the l cecutive, the problem of current liaison with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation was discussed in detail. As a result of this discussion, in
order to facilitate the exchange of information with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, to eliminate duplication'and confusion concerning requests
of and from the FBI and in order to establish efficient, clear-cut and con-
trollable liaison channels, it is unanimously recommended by the officials
attending the above-mentioned conference that liaison with the FBI Liaison
Representatives, after the impending merger of OSO, OFO and Contacts Branch,
00, be confined exclusively to two channels - the Chief of Inspection and
Security and the Assistant Director, OSO, depending upon the substance of
the information involved in the particular liaison contact.
2. It is specifically recommended that you approve in this regard,
the following instructions to be issued to all offices and staff sections
of CIA:
In order to facilitate the exchange of information with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, to eliminate duplication in requests to and
from the FBI and insure the establishment and maintenance of ef-
ficient, orderly and controllable liaison channels, it is ordered
that all liaison between the Central Intelligence Agency and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation will be channelled through the two
channels set out below.
(a) The Chief of Inspection and Security - for all matters pertain-
ing to the security of the personnel and installations of CIA,
including information concerning investigations of all personnel,
physical security investigative information, information of a
necessary operational support nature and any additional special
information falling within the scope of functions and jurisdic-
tions of the Chief, I & S.
(b) The Assistant Director, 050 - for all matters pertaining to
counter-espionage, counter-intelligence and related information,
for all matters pertaining to the internal security of the United
States which may be of value to CIA in producing national foreign

intelligence, for all matters pertaining to the special opera-
tional problems involving the OPC function and for all matters
pertaining to the functions and operations of the Contacts
Branch.
25X1A
3. Inasmuch as the intelligence product of the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation under its internal security mission is largely in the counter-
espionage and related fields and inasmuch as the Assistant Director, OSO,
has primw:?y operational cognizance of CE matters, all collection requests
made by the Central Intelligence Agency of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion will be routed through the Assistant Director, OSO.
i. No request is to be made of the FBI for any information by CIA
personnel except as authorized through the two channels described above.
5. Nothing in this order is intended to interfere with the working
relationship between co-members of the IAC or other committees upon which
both CIA and FBI are represented. In the event, however, that such work-
ing relationships involve requests for information or operational assistance,
they must in all cases be coordinated in advance with the Chief, I&S or the
Assistant Director, OSO, depending on the nature of the request involved.
6. Any discussions or relationships with the FBI at the working
level which are considered necessary or advisable must be arranged through
the authorized channels delineated above.
ACTION: It is recommended that you approve the above order.

2. The signed concurrences of all concerned are attached with
the exception of OSI. OSI concurs in all but the require,nent for
OSO to transmit to OOD for T propriate dissemination FBI information
of value to overt offices. OSI would prefer to receive such material
pertinent to its needs directly from OSO. Such action is contrary
to current policy of insuring that OCD is the vehicle for receipt
and dissemination of all intelligence information coming into CIA.
In my opinion it is necessary to maintain this policy to insure:
a. That information received is properly recorded and
identified before it gets loot in the files of some researcher.
b. That all offices and other intelligence agencies receive
dissemination of intelligence information of interest or value
to them without undue delay.
3. Recommend signature of the Administrative Instruction without
further change.
