MEMORANDUM FOR: General Counsel

SUBJECT : Intelligence Sources and Methods
REFERENCE
Memorandum from Assistant General Counsel,
dated 14 March 1975, Same Subject
(OGC 75-0912)
1. Pursuant to your request, the Office of Security
'has reviewed the General Counsel's draft listing of "Aspects
of Intelligence Sources and Methods" that require protection
from unauthorized disclosure.
2.- In answer to your question, paragraph 2 of reference,
concerning Agency safety programs, the broad scope of aspect
65 coupled with aspect 3 appears to satisfy for the associa-
tion of any location (site) with the Central inteliigsnce
Agency, as well as for the equipment used by the Central
Intelligence Agency to "socure" it. ("Secure" in the sense
of affording safety would seen to naturally include Agency
safety programs . )

5. The Office Of Security also has some concern with
the distinction used in both aspects. 29 and 65 which makes
the subject matter of each aspect (counterintelligence -
securing of assets) protectable only because of association
with the Central Intelligenct Agency. There are some
"techuiques?..systeeas and subsystems" in both activities
unique to the Central Intelligence Agency and/or by their
nature enjoined to be protected from unauthorized diiscllossure.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
ATTENTION : Chief, Policy and Plans Group
SUBJECT : Intelligence Sources and Methods
REFERENCE : Memo for Asst. for Coord./DDA, fm D/Security,
Subj: Office of Security Contribution to Sources
and Methods Listing, dtd 7 March 75
1. Based on the information in referent and similar submissions from
other offices, I have drafted a number of Aspects of the subject which require
protection. Attached is a list of most of those Aspects drafted to date. In some
cases referent identified a number of documents, reports and files that should
be protected. As you will see from the attached listing, I have taken a slightly
different approach and am attempting to itemize the substantive information
that might be in such documents, reports and files as that which requires
protection. Listed below is a tabulation of the Aspects which are intended to
cover the paragraphs of referent.
Paragraph(s) Aspect(s)
1.a.3. and 4.
1. b. 1. through 6.
1.b.7.
1. b. 8. and 9.
l .b .10 . through 14.
l.b.15.

1.b.19.

l .b . 23. through 25.
1, 2, 3, 20, 42, 43, 52, 54 and 62,
as well as various substantive
Aspects

Paragraph (s) Aspect(s)
1.b.26. through 29. 65
1.b.30. 13 and 65
1.b.31. 19, as well as various substantive
Aspects

1.b.36. 24 and 65
1.b.37. l and 2
l.b.38. 65
2. You may find that some of the other Aspects also relate to your
paragraphs. As you will note, some of the Aspects are somewhat broad and
others are rather specific. Generally I have tried to draft a rather broad
Aspect to cover the particular item requiring protection, but in some cases
more specific Aspects were also added for extra protection. You might
review the list with that in mind. For example, we could draft a specific
Aspect in line with your paragraph 1.b.35. (storage areas). I have not
drafted an Aspect regarding the Agency safety programs (paragraphs
1. b. 21. and 22. ), as I am not familiar with the aspects of those programs
that must be protected. Will the broad scope of Aspect 65 offer the required
protection?
3. I have made a conscientious effort in drafting the Aspects to
differentiate between an activity in which only the Agency association
should be protected from disclosure from an activity in which details of
the techniques, procedures or equipment associated therewith should be
protected. I would ask for your careful review in this regard.
