Approved for Release: 2016/06/10 C06552088 (b)(3) CIAAct (b)(6) 8 April Draft Opinion from Doi - OMS Concerns Approved for Release: 2016/06/10 C06552088 1.---IF1RFT//1\InFnRKI (b)(5) OMS did not review or vet these techniques prior to their introduction, but rather came into this program with the understanding from your Office and DoJ that they were already determined as legal, permitted and safe. We see this current iteration as a reversal of that sequence, and a relocation of those decisions to OMS. If this is the case, that OMS has now the responsibility for determining a procedure's legality through its determination of its safety, then we will need to review all procedures in that light given this new responsibility.
