MEMORANDUM FOR: USIB Principals

Community Aspects of Inputs to Congressional
Committees Investigating Intelligence
1. The Intelligence Community Staff, with
Associate Deputy/IC, as my representative in these matters, will
keep the Board and other appropriate officials advised as to
progress of the investigations conducted by the Senate and House
Select Committees investigating intelligence activities. In particular,
it will ensure that we are kept informed as to materials which are
formally being provided to the Select: Committees by all elements
of the Community. The USIB Ad Hoc: Group will assist on this
matter and provide the mechanism for regular and constant communi-
cations.
2. In response to this assignment, the Intelligence Community
Staff is establishing a registry for documentation relating to the
investigations. This registry will be a source of reference of all
responses, testimony, et cetera, provided by USIB agencies and
available to your designated representatives.
3. In order to make the registry useful to the Board, it is
essential that it include:
a. File copies of documents or other materials which
each Intelligence Community element provides to one of the
Select Committees where the originating agency considers
the materials to involve aspects of Community activities,
and/or which may result in follow-on queries concerning
the functioning of the Community. The availability of this
documentation will be of particular importance if it is
expected there will be subsequent inquiries relating to the
materials provided and involving elements of the Community
other than the originating element.
