General C. P. Cabell
Deputy Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington 25, D. C.
The agreements which you forwarded with your
letter of 28 January have been reviewed. We are
acutely aware of the complexity of the problem with
which the working committee had to deal. The
CIA-AFCIN-A?IC agreements are accepted. I believe
this will assist ATIC in better utilization of CIA
produced materials.
Your personal interest in this matter is appre-
ciated. The agreements arrived at by the working
committee are typical of the excellent cooperation
which we enjoy in dealing with your people in the
agency at all levels.
Sincerely,

I note that its merely putting the Agency on
notice that this any we be looked upon by other agencies
as a precedent. That seems to be Irrefutable to ^e. He
also makes the point that it Is desirable from an administra-
tive point of view, to standardize the system. That too seems
irrefutable. In the final analysis, however, CIA will have to
sot on a case-by-case basis in light of specific recommendation
by Director of Security.

i CI&-ATIC Agreement
R.gF tCE t My memo, satire subject, 8 January 1959, and
enclosures
1. 1 refer particularly to paragraph 3 of the referenced
memorandum in which it was suggested that Col. Edwards or
and I be invited to present two aspects of the
problem to you. You asked specifically whether:
aa. the security aspect had been resolved, and
b. indoctrination of personnel producing
intelligence and intelligence information
to the possibility of use of their product
by contractors had been accomplished (per
Mr. Sheldon's note).
2. On the first point - the security aspect of the agreement
between CIA. and ATIC has been resolved by the Security Statement
attached as appendix A to the agreement. The Office of Security
has concurred in the CIA-ATIC a agreement. Where a difference of
opinion still exists between OCR and Security lies In the point
that OCR believes that the CIA-ATIC afire ent, when approved, will
be a precedent for similar agreements with other Intelligence Board
members. (The other DDI Offices concur in this belief - in fact
urge such agreements - as may be seen in paragraph 7 of r
9 December 1958 meearo (Tab C of the enclosures to the above-referenced
memorandum).) We believe that the existence of the CIA-ATIC agree-
ment will become known to the other Intelligence Board members and
that similar a agreements will be requested by them. From an adminis-
trative point of view, we feel that such now agreements, although
not of identical language, could not be less liberal than the CIA-ATIC
agreement. The Office of Security maintains that the CIA-ATIC agree-
ment is a one-shot exercise and need have no bearing on any possible
future agreements with other agencies.

Verbal Instructions of Acting LO/I on 14 November
1953
1. Pursuant to References (a) and (b). a joint committee, cased of
Lyon of CIA, AICIN, and ATIC, convened at 1000, 3 November 1958*
and remained in session until 1760, 7 November 1958. The agreement attached
hereto as Tab A Is the result.
2. Tab A represents a workable solution to the first problem posed to
the first paragraph of Reference (a); i.e., "release of CIA?prodaced Informa-
tion to ATIC contractors". This agreement provides workable procedures
whereby ATIC may rapidly disseminate most CIA-produced intelligence and
intelligence information to ATIC contractors. Tab B Is the committee's
comments on the second problem posed in the first paragraph of Reference
(a) T i.e., "use of CIA-produced intelligence information in the production
of finished intelligence by ATIC".
Tab C is a staff study which was directed by Reference (c) to
determine the consequences of Part III of the proposed agreement. Tab 0
is a memorandum from the Deputy Director of Security recommending certain
changes in y basic staff study. I s Best that you invite Colonel Edwards
and we to present the two aspects of the problem to you
orally.
4. I recommend that you approve the agreement and forward the attached
letter (Tab El to General Walsh.
