It has been the prsctiae far s?veral. years to a~ubraa.t intelligence
memoranda- to the 1aCI ~~ith a recommended distribution list for his
approval. Eefars the reorganiLS~tian, this a~p~axroval was xeq_uired f'car a11,
distribution except d,elivPry' to the reque:~ter in the event that tYr+~
memorandum had! been prepored an request. Any subsequent di~stribu~an
outside the orig~.nallf approved list ~roa hanci~.ed in the same wag by BCD.
Each additional request was s3kb~dret to ~I opprovs-]..
A~'tasr the reorgan3,~totton, the DCI relaxed the regulation tc~ ~3er~:Y-t
the AT3fRR to approve ~dt.stri.buti,on of Ypt~a Mrl.thi.n the IBC a-geneies. t~.e
hoed cgntinued, ho~rever, t~ stixbmit tar his approval. any di.stribnition
outsi~ the IAC agencies.
Although I con understand ,wry well tt~e reaeans far this ver~~ careful
control of intel].i~;ence m+emorando before the reorgatnisation of C3R~', I find.
it difficult to underst+dud why the lri.nd of memorandum wee now put out e~h~su].~i
'~ eub~ect to this control. bane of our other publications is re~-iewed
outside ~?RR before distribution with the e~ep~-on at' st~t~h nominal a~ar~tro2
as mag be effected b~r+~CD. I am inclined to feel that the regtLation has
outlived the reasons for ita a~ption.
Tt is suggested that it asxight bbe profitable to resew this matter with.
the 17AI ~ri.th a view to placiz~ reapone3.bilit~r for release of It4ts to al.l
recipients on the AAf NR. fhie waul.+i, of +avurse,, be subject to the over-aIl
responsibilitg of the AnfCD for dissemination.
