INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
CONTROL OF OVERSEAS DISSEMINATION OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
1. The Director of Central Intelligence has been concerned with
the security aspects of the IAC agencies sending national intelligence
(which includes NIE's, SE's, NIS's and EIC's) to their overseas com-
ponents. While it is realized that each agency protects this intelli-
gence through its own security regulations, it is felt that some breach
or violation of security with respect to national intelligence might
be exceptionally hazardous to national security, especially if there is
an accumulation of national intelligence materials concentrated at one
point. Accordingly, CIA initiated informal conversations at the working
level with representatives of State, Army, Navy and Air Force to ascer-
tain current practice in the handling of these materials.
2. On the basis of these discussions, and in order to provide
more adequate assurance to the DCI and IAC members in the control of
national intelligence, CIA proposes that the IAC agree as follows.
In order to provide immediate knowledge in Washington of the location
and extent of national intelligence filed in overseas installations,
and in order to prevent its unnecessary overseas accumulation, each
agency will maintain in Washington an inventory of such intelligence
forwarded by it to its overseas installations. Each agency will indicate
on each national intelligence item it disseminates overseas a period of
one year or less, normally six months, depending upon the subject matter
of the intelligence and the particular need of the overseas installation,
at the end of which time the item would be destroyed, returned, or per-
mission requested of the forwarding agency to retain it.
