MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Projects [cryptonym, cryptonym, cryptonym]
No surveillance, telephone tap, surreptitious entry or other action
will be taken by Agency personnel in the United States against United
States citizens not connected with CIA, under the claimed authority of
"protection of intelligence sources and methods." This provision of
the law lays a charge and duty on the Director and the Agency to act so
as to protect intelligence sources and methods. It does not give it
authority to take action with respect to other American citizens. If
a threat or exposure of intelligence sources and methods occurs, the
Agency can appropriately assemble its information on the topic and
conduct such steps within its organization as may be appropriate.
With respect to outsiders, the appropriate lawful authorities must be
approached for assistance on the matter, e.g. , the FBI or local
police.

MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Project [cryptonym] and Project [cryptonym]
Projects [cryptonym] and [cryptonym] are terminated. It is
appropriate under certain circumstances to record the mail addresses
of senders and receivers, but no such lists should be developed as a
watch list on American citizens, such as, for example, the list of
doctors who studied abroad.
