Suggested Topics to be Discussed
With Office of Operations
1. Classification of Company Data
ompany furnishes data to or prepares a study for the
Industrial Division of the Office of Research and Reports, the company
should be requested to state its limitations on the distribution of its
data. It is recommended that a form be prepared listing the following
limitations:
a. t= CIA May Distribute This Report To Requesting US Intelligence
Agencies Only, Subject To Their Security Agreement and
Approved Fields of Interest.
b. = CIA Internal Use Only. [-This is a control used for informa-
tion which if disclosed would violate existing Agency policy
regarding protection of sources and methods. It may be used
alone or in conjunction with a defense classification.
Information so marked may not be released or shown to anyone
outside the Agency without permission of the originating
office. Within the Agency, information so marked may be
released only to full-time Agency employees and is not to be
disseminated to consultants, external projects, or reserve
personnel on short-term active duty unless permission of the
originating office is obtained
A company giving data to CIA should be asked to check one of the above
limitations'. The company should be assured that the above limitations
insure that the data collected from the company will be treated as
proprietary data and will not be revealed to other interests or companies.
2. Procedure to be Followed in Re uesting Data from US Companies
a. 00 should arrange for a meeting between company and DPI representatives.
b. 00 should accompany D/I to the meeting, but D/I should present the
request and explain the need for such a request.
c. The company should be given the name and phone number of a D/I analyst
who is to answer all questions which may arise during preparation of
the answer to the request.
d. 00 should pick up the study upon its completion.
e. After receipt and study of the data, another meeting between D/I
and the company may be required in order for ORR to fully under-
stand the data.

CON Fl ENTI L
SUBJECT: Suggested Topics to be Discussed With Office of Operations
This procedure is not suggested with the intention of usurping any
00 functions. The above procedure is suggested because the analyst
requesting the data is believed to be the one best qualified to explain
the request to the company. The request is often of such a technical
nature that the 00 field man could not be expected to explain the
requirement nor to answer the questions the company might ask regarding
the request. If questions and answers have to be passed back and forth
between the company and D/I through the 00 field office and 00 headquarters
some of the substance is likely to be filtered out.
3. Direct Contact of Consultants by ORR
There may be instances in which data are required from industry on
short notice. In such cases, ORR may have to contact directly one or
more of its industrial consultants for the necessary data instead of
going through 00.
