SUBJECT: (U) Disclosure of NOFORN CS Material to Foreign Officers
Integrated in DIA
TO: Deputy Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. G. 20505
1 . Your letter of 22 February 1964 calling my attention to two incidents
involving inadvertent and unauthorized disclosure to
DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AUtrvL. T
accredited to DIA of CS materials nearing
Foreign Dissemination" classification has caused me considerable con-
cern. As indicated in my interim reply to you, I had my Inspector General
make a thorough investigation of the matter so that I could evaluate and
take corrective action on the practices within my Agency that made possible
the regrettable disclosures you pointed out.
2. As you may know, all except two of our Foreign Exchange (Integrated)
Officers are assigned to analyst positions in the DIA Production Center.
However, some of these officers, especially the technical kind, visit and
confer with Service technical centers and personnel fairly frequently in the
normal course of performing their duties for us. This being the case I have
instructed the Chief, Production Center, to design and institute an improved
system for controlling NOFORN materials, with particular emphasis on CS
NO FOREIGN DiSSEM information. A copy of the implementing regulation is
enclosed herewith. In addition I have imposed similar instructions through-
out DIA and have requested full cooperation in this matter from the Service
Intelligence Chiefs . I have high confidence now that the control system
now in effect in Department of Defense intelligence activities will minimize
the possibility of unauthorized compromise of NOFORN subject matter. I
shall. of course keep this problem under review and will be grateful if you
will bring to my attention any discrepancies that you may observe in the
future.
DIA review(s) completed.

d, Individual US personnel when using NOFORN materials will take every
precautionary measure to safeguard such materials from inadvertent disclosure
to exchange officers working in the same room. Care in this regard will be

documents will check and recheck, respectively, these materials to ascertain that
the above is accomplished, If necessary for absolute certainty, the Disclosure
Branch will double check with preparing analysts before recommending releases

cise tight control over discussions tending to disclose the nature or existence
of NOFORN matter, In this connections DIAAP-1 personnel assigned to attend such
conferences will be warned prior to attending by their supervisor against inadver-
tent disclosure,
g, Implicit in the system of handling US classified information which is not
labeled NOFORN is the need to know criterion for its use by exchange officers in
performing his assigned US duties (para 3k and 12a of DIAR 54-1), In this connec-
tions the DIAAP-1 superior of each exchange officer will exercise close control
over such material as is made available to the exchange officer, insuring that
the provisions of DIAR 54=1 are followed, No wholesale release of such materials
will be made,
