Dissemination of CIA Unevaluated Information R s
1. It is the policy of the CIA that the dissemination of its un-
evaluated information reports outside the Agency must meet the following
stipulations:
a. Only those who need to know rather than those who desire
to know will be informed.
b. Raw or semi-finished intelligence will be released only
to those governmental agencies having an intelligence organization.
PROCEDURES
2. To implement the above policy the following principles are
set forth:
a. The dissemination of unevaluated information reports should
be limited to the IAC agencies except as provided in 3c_ below.
(Unevaluated information is defined as raw intelligence material
ordinarily issued by 00/C and OSO. )
b. Dissemination of unevaluated information reports within IAC
agencies will be on the basis of two categories:
(1) Those reports which may receive broad dissemination
within the IAC agency.
(2) Those reports which will have a limited dissemination
witkdn the I.AC agency because of local IAC agency responsibility
and sensitivity of source. These reports will be distributed
not through reading panel units but through one officer designated
by each I.RC agency and shall be in a separate report series.

3. The implementation of these principles will-be as follows:
a. The collecting office, i.e., 4X/C or OSO will be responsible
for the placing of special control statements on those reports which
must be restricted within the IAC agencies because of the sensitive
nature of the sources. All.. such reports should bear a notation
similar to the following: "Tni.s report is for the information and
use of the following named individuals only. It will receive no
further dissemination either written or oral without concurrence of
the Central Intelligence Agency through the Assistant Director, Office
of Collection and Dissemination."
b. ORE and OSI will be responsible for editing finished or semi-
finished intelligence reports to eliminate ary possibility of jeopardy
of source by examination of contents.
c. Dissemination of current unevaluated information reports to
non-IAC agencies should be recommended by the collection office and
decided on a need to know basis. OCD, however, will not change this
distribution without prior consultation with the collection office.
Such dissemination should be restricted to specific individuals in
non-IAC agencies who cave been specifically cleared by I&S.
d. I&S in the case of non-IAG agencies will be responsible for
the issuances of security policies to OCD to guide it in its dis-
semination actions.
