The Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D.C. 20505
ICS 0790-88
6 March 1988
MEMORANDUM FOR: Gordon Negus, Executive Director
Defense Intelligence Agency
SUBJECT: Security Policies Governing the Dissemination of
Intelligence Information
REFERENCES: A. Your memo, 22 February 1988 (U-4392/0S-4)
B. DCI Directive 1/7, "Security Controls on the
Dissemination of Intelligence Information,
27 February 1987
1. The concepts and rationale expressed in your 22 February memorandum
clearly exhibit the limitations and inhibitions placed on certain DIA
operating procedures by strict application of the rules imposed in DCID 1/7.
When I approved the revised DCID in February 1987 as Acting Director of
Central Intelligence, I understood that there were contentious issues
surrounding the NOCONTRACT, as well as other, controls. I realized that the
principal objections involved the dissemination caveats as applied to
contractors supporting DoD/DIA efforts. I approved the DCID with the
understanding that CIA and DIA officers would work together to attempt to
resolve the issues, with or without further revision of the' DCID. The fact is
that CIA and DIA have not continued efforts at negotiating the issues.
2. Your memorandum contains three requests. The first one asks for my
support in a joint effort to review existing policy with the objective of
establishing new policy to protect sensitive intelligence while permitting
Senior Officials of the Intelligence Community (SOICs) to make determinations
for release of information as exceptions to the rules. I am disappointed that
CIA and DIA have not carried on negotiations over these issues as I directed
and expected. I am charging the Community Counterintelligence and Security
Countermeasures Office (CCISCMO) of the Intelligence Community Staff (ICS)
with responsibility to organize and coordinate meetings between CIA and DIA to
discuss and work the issues involved.

SUBJECT: Security Policies Governing the Dissemination of
Intelligence Information
3. The second request asks me to temporarily authorize the SOIC/DIA to
permit release of controlled intelligence in DIA data bases where sources
cannot be determined. I withhold that permission pending a recommendation
from the Director/ICS after he receives a status report following the meetings
between CIA and DIA on the overall problem area surrounding the subject. I am
requiring such a report and recommendation within 60 days. Should revision of
the DCID become necessary, CCISCMO will manage the necessary administrative
staffing and Community coordination.
4. With respect to your third request (that DIA be relieved of the
requirement for government personnel to be present with SAFE contractors when
access to controlled information is possible), this will be a topic for the
CIA-DIA negotiators to review since the SAFE program is a joint effort managed
by the two agencies. The common element in each of these requests is that
particular interests of CIA are involved.
5. Be assured that I am sympathetic to the problems surfaced and the
restrictions placed on DIA and, in fact, the entire Community. We share the
commitment to the proper dissemination and use of sensitive intelligence
information in consonance with our solemn responsibility to protect the
sources and methods from which it is produced.
