SUBJECT: Guidance for CIA Activities
REFERENCE: Draft Implementation Guidance for New Executive
Order
1. The proposed guidelines apparently were written to
provide foreign intelligence and counterintelligence guidance to
the DDO. Nevertheless, the kinds of activities described therein
relate, in many cases, to Office of Security activities, and may
not be specific enough. For example, paragraph C.2.a.(l)(h) says

Security, the Deputy Director of Security, and the Deputy
Director of Security for Personnel Security and Investigations
may approve certain collection activities as specified in these
procedures. This generates three questions:
a. Does this authorization pertain to counter-
intelligence only, or to security as well?
b. Where are these activities "specified in these
procedures?"
c. Is it intended that all three of these
officials have the same authority?
7. Clarification of the
appreciated. Please call on
