I,QTQRAND-0J OF .AGREEFI NT BET\VEEN CIA AND STATE
RE SS CABLES
Because of certain changes in CIA organization the
Department of State and. CIA have considered it useful to
re-examine arrangements whereby the Department has been
making available to CIA certain special cables through
the Office of the Secretary of State. The following
understandings have been reached as a result of the re-
examination:
(b)(3)
a. The Department of State will make every
effort to supply directly to CIA, through direct
distribution or through the IAD liaison channel,
all intelligence reports of interest to CIA. In
addition the Department will continue to supply
to the Central Intelligence Agency, through the
channel indicated in paragraph f. below, two
copies of operational and policy telegrams of
interest and concern to CIA which may be con-
sidered so sensitive as to not be placed within
the normal liaison channel.
b. The external distribution. of the Daily
Intelligence Bulletin, which will replace the
CIA Daily Summary, is:
The President
Secretary of State
Secretary of Defense
c. Inclusion of materials from the Special
State Department distribution in the Daily Intelli-
gence Bulletin will be based on importance in terms
of intelligence rather than operations or policy
developments. The agencies will. rely upon close
contact between the Office of Current Intelligence
and SS to develop understandings regarding inclu-
sion of sensitive materials.
d. Because of State Department's legitimate
concern with regard to the extent of third agency
use of State Department sensitive cables, any ex-
tension of the proposed distribution (see paragraph b
above) will be done only-after consultation with the
State Department.
