As indicated in Regulation CII; Regulations are supposed 25X1A
to contain "matters of g enerrl concern to ail orgy niznnt.ional set>?nonts

within the Agency. We believe thrt certain Regulations now included in
the hIanunl are not of general concern, are of interest to a limited number
of Offices or to a specialized Croup. of personnel, and that in one case
their present dissemination in the Irlrrnual is contrary to ! gericy security
policy on "need to ]mow" as expressed in Regulation 25X1A

M 31 ORANDUM FOR: MANAGEMENT STAFF
SUBJECT: New Agency Regulations
1. The Agency Regulations for CIA, forwarded by your memorandum
of 8 September, have been reviewed by this office as requested. There
are no strictly legal points on which we wish to comment, but there
are some points as to accuracy and completeness.
25X1A
We note that in Section pages 62 and 63 there
appears to be repetition of material set forth in
In there appears to be a line missing 25X1A
between the present lines 6 and 7 from the bottom of the page.
25X1A
25X1A
25X1A
current sections of the existing regulations now numbered 4 b (1),
(2) and (3), 4 c and 5.
In the page 114, we notice that
the page he g for this section is misnumbered 25X1A
In the Regulation itself , we are now informed
that it is not necessary for the Director o sign the certificate
personally. Consequently, sub-paragraph 1 should be amended to
read "in order to have adequate basis for the required
certificate '", and sub-paragraph 2 should eliminate the
last phrase "for the signature of the Director."
2, As, general comments, we query whether it is appropriate to flo.
set forth the transliteration table in full in Perhaps -f 6(nVJ tit.
the Regulation, as such should merely refer to the fact that trans- io',r
r
literation tables are issued by the Agency and, therefore, the N
tables could be kept up to date and amended without amending the
Regulation. Similarly we query whether the chart of allotment
accounts, which apparently would have to be reissued for every
fiscal year, should be set forth in full rather than merely referred-
to.

1. In response to your memorandum of 8 September 1950,
a review has been made of the draft of the Agency Regulations
enumerated in paragraph 2 (a) of the memorandum and most of
this office's conmients pertain to matters pertinent to para-
graph 2 (d)(1). Most of the items are of a minor nature and
in order to effect a saving in time it is considered advisable
that a representative of this office discuss the various items
with a member of your Staff instead of writing a lengthy
memorandum outlining the various items which, it is believed,
should be corrected or given further consideration.

2. For your information, all, changes in the Security
Regulations recommended to this Staff by the Assistant Director
for Special Operations have been resolveu satisfactorily in consultation
with OSO, OCD and OSI with the exception of one, namely that the
classification of the Security Regulations be raised from RESTRICTED
SECROf or, at least, CONFIDENTIAL. It has been noted that no
other Assistant Director made such a recommendation ands by inference
'
,
h9 present classification of RESTRICTED is acceptable to all other
Offices. It is believed that raisin; the classification of the
Security Regulations above RESTRICTED would seriously hamper the
wide distribution of these Regulations which is considered. desirable
from the standpoint of ready reference and information purposes.

fication of the Security Regulations remain RESTRICTED. L/I

MEMORANDI M FOR: Management Officer
SUBJECT: Draft of Revised Agency Regulations.
1. In accordance with your request sot forth in memorandum of S
September 1950, the various Division Chiefs of Special Support Staff
have reviewed the draft regulations.
2. In general, the consensus was that the Regulations insofar as
they pertain to Arency policy are correct, complete and in excellent
format and editorial style.
3. It is noted., however, that the of regulations in
particular, not only set forth general policy authorities and procedures
but further sot forth the details of procedures, the routing of forms,
the number of copies, etc. This may be highly desirable for the vouchered
fund transactions oi' the Agency, but t e simple fact is that these pro-
cedures are not followed in unvouchered fund transactions at the present
time. These deviations in procedures are so numerous and so enmeshed
(and we believe with justification) in the operational activities of the
Covert Offices that it. would not h possible to adopt the prescribed pro-
cedures without careful study, p., .ping and training. This process of
standardization of procedures would take many months, assuming that it
could and should be done at all.
4. It was also noted that the set forth numerous basic
policies which either conflict with "01111 lar policies presently in the
Confidential Funds Regulations or at least conflict with present un
vouchered funds practices. A partial list of a few of these conflicts
follows:

OCD' S CO;Wv1ENT 3 ON PROPOSED MANUAL 01'' CIA REGULATIONS
SAFETY PROGllAM
It is desirable for administrative officials to have all instructions,.r.~r 1Wa
on one oubjoct appear in the sane regulation, if possible, rather
,
than in several different places. No. M requires an Immediate A;1
report to the Principal Safety Officer; No. - requires an im- -c~
mediate report to the Chief, Services Division, following any ace- dent. t.i.,'f~,~ ,.?
A proposed Administrative Instruction recently circulated for conk-
currence gives instructions to individuals on forma to complete t _ -
and action to take for medical attention and claims.
In paragraph C.4., line 1, the word "personnel" should read "personal".
25X1A
FORMS CONTROL AND STANDARDIZATION
The first sentence of paragraph G in the subject dxaft regulation
provides that: "The: printing, reproduction, procurement or use of
forms within the Agency without the prior approval of the Manage-
ment Officer is prohibited".
The above prohibition, if fully implc:ncntcd, would work to the serious
disadvantage of all offices. It would strangle initiative on the part
of operating personnel, who should be encouraged to improvise and try
out simple forms for ditto or mimeograph reproduction whenever it ap-
pears to them that such attempts might result in less typing, speedier
production, or more uniform output.
The proposal fails to distinguish between (a) formal type-set forms
designed for Agency-wide use, and (b) the simple working forms which
all Offices occasionally must produce in order to deal with day-to-
day problems of non-recurrent or short-term nature. It is a major
advantage of ditto, mimeograph, and similar devices that they enable
such forms to be produced with negligible cost and effort, and this
advantage should not be jettisoned.
It is suggested that the sentence referred to be qualified with the
wording shown below before final publication as an Agency Regulation:
"The printing, reproduction, procurement or use of forms
within the Agency without prior approval of the Management
Officer is prohibited, except that this prohibition shall
not apply to forms produced within individual Offices and
Staffs to meet experimental or emergency needs."

!then administrative officials are required to implement agency poli-
cies, they generally take action under the authority of some agency

confusing. Directives appearing in the Security Manual should pernaps

the Security Manual in its entirety, it is suggested. ,that it be pre-
sented as an Appendix to the CIA. Regulation Manual. and not be incor-
porated in the body of the text. Otherwise the duplicated items under

to conform with the rest of the manual.

Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO TLitviagement Officer, CIA
FROM : Assistant Director, OSI
SUBJECT: D fi ft of CIA Re,,ulations
DATE A OCT 10 1950
1. OSI generally concurs in the substantive aspects of the
present draft of the CIA Regulations and commends the Management
Staff on orgs.nizing the existing- regulations and instructions in-
to a more consolidated and consistent form. Considerable clari-
fication has resulted and, to that extent, our task has been
simplified. Certainly, however, in the light of future experience,
substantive modifications will be required; recommendations for
such modifications will be rut forward as found necessary.
2. Your attention is invited to the attached. comments re-
lating to specific regulations. As indicated in these comments,
it is felt that a clearer distinction should be made between
"regulations" and "Procedures", since there is a tendency through-
out the draft to present both together. Regulations, in providing
a body of regulating principles, tend toward the general and to
remain relatively fixed; procedures, being an interpretation of
the regulations in practice, tend to be specific and to change
frequently. The interests of purity and stability in regulations
and the interests of detail and flexibility in procedures cannot
best be served simultaneously. These interests are conflicting
and are inevitably cora:, ,-:-raised when handled together. It is
understood that a CIA I .icedures Manual is being planned as an
outgrowth of the . It is recommended that the prepara- 25X1A
tion and publication of this CIA Procedures Manual be expedited
and that all CIA Procedures having interoffice and interagency ap-
plication be incorporated and elaborated in this Manual. With
a Procedures Manual available, the CIA Regulations should be cleared
of all detailed procedures and be confined to the basic principles
governing the activities of CIA, including the "principles of
procedure".
3. Since the apparent object of the present draft has been
to consolidate existing Agency regulations, with minor revisions,
previously issued as administrative instructions, general orders,
and security regulations, it has not seemed appropriate at this
time to consider the elaborations of the present regulations that
might be required. It is felt that these can be considered as
the needs arise. Reference has been made in the comments to previous

COMMENTS ON CIA REGULATIONS
It would seem appropriate to authorize the CIA Procedures Manual in I.A.1
and to detail its, purpose of incorporating all procedures which have inter-
office and inter-agency application in an appropriate paragraph. Modifications
throughout the regulations should be made accordingly, procedural aspects now
appearing in the regulations being removed and incorporated in the Manual - for
example, the procedural aspects in the following regulations:
It would seem preferable to use in I.3.1 the same categories for internal
office issuance as for inter-office issuance -- i.e., office regulations, an
office procedures manual, and office notices -- since all these purposes must
be served in office issuances as well. At the very least, it does not seem
useful to use "operating" and "administrative" as qualifying terms for office
issuances. Procedures should embrace all procedures, administrative and
otherwise. Memoranda should servo the same purposes as CIA Notices, and
mood not be restricted to strictly administrative matters. 25X1A

Draft of Revised Agoncy Regulations
DATE: 29 September 1950
1. In accordance with your request of 8 September 1950, OSO comment
respecting the drafts of certain proposed Agency Regulations is set forth
below. In those cases where specific reference to a proposed Regulation
is omitted, OSO concurrence may be assumed. In general, this office
concurs with the drafts as written with regard to accuracy, completeness,
security classification, and distribution. As an over-all criticism,
however, it is felt that the Assistant Directors and Staff Chiefs, in
Y y `L~ every possible instance, should be specifically authorized to delegate
PP 10 minor administrative approval functions which inevitably detract from
P`~ the proper discharge of more important responsibilities. Regulation No.

2. Regulation No. =CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY ISSUANCES
Respecting Section I B Intra-Office Issuances, OSO desires to
insert the additional category of Office Regulations" as an approved
intra-office issuance. In the case of OSO, such "Regulations" closely
paralleling the CIA Regulations will be designed to replace both Operating
Procedures and Administrative Memoranda.

It is understood that OSO comments pertaining to this Regulation
