4. Parallel to the above, staff studies were initiated
by this Office in conjunction with other concerned Agency
offices about the Third Agency Rule. The Office of Security's
position concerning the rule and its Interpretation was
formulated into a memorandum, dated 10 April 1975, addressed
to the ? eneeral Counsel. Attached herewith as Attachment D is
a copy of that memorandum. We do not have any information In
our possession or know of any reason which would alter that
position.

6. The Office of Security strongly recommends that this
Agency adhere to the Third Agency Rule in the release of Agency
produced reports and documents in the possession of the Commission
to the Committee. We recognize this recommendation may entail
considerable time and effort to locate and review each document
passed; however, we feel we must be consistent with the regulation
in question and past practices.
