(New Series)
DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE DIRECTIVE NO. 1 /71
CONTROLS FOR DISSEMINATION AND USE OF
INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION
(Approved 2 February 1967)
Pursuant to the provisions of NSCID No. 1 (New Series, revised 18
January 1961), paragraph 2 a (5), and paragraph 5, and for the pur-
pose of protecting intelligence,, intelligence information, and intelligence
sources and methods from unauthorized disclosure, the following pro-
cedures are established to control uniformly the dissemination and use
of intelligence and intelligence information.
1. The basic control for the safeguarding of classified information is
established by Executive Order No. 10501, as amended. Section 7 (c) of
Executive Order No. 10501 stipulates that classified defense information
originating in a department or agency will not be disseminated outside
another receiving agency without permission of the originating agency,
except as provided in Section 102 of the National Security Act of 1947,
as amended. Accordingly, in order to increase the effectiveness of their
operations, the USIB members are agreed that intelligence components
of USIB member departments and agencies may:
a. through authorized processing facilities, reproduce intelligence
documents originally issued by another, unless these have been other-
wise excepted; and,
b. disclose to the intelligence components of other USIB agencies
information from documents originally issued by another unless the
original dissemination of the document was specifically limited.
The control markings and procedures set forth below shall be utilized
by an originating agency to restrict the internal dissemination and use
of intelligence and intelligence information by a receiving agency, or to
permit the dissemination of such information outside of the receiving
agency. Such restrictive or permissive action is to be consonant with
the protection of intelligence, intelligence information and of the intel-
ligence sources and methods involved.
2. The standardized control markings and procedures set forth in this
Directive are to be employed uniformly by all departments and agencies
in the intelligence community thereby assuring like control and restric-
tions on the use of intelligence and intelligence information dissemi-
nated within the departments and agencies represented on the United
States Intelligence Board. The substance of this Directive shall be pub-
lished in the appropriate regulatory or notice media of each agency or
department.

3. Whenever an originating department or agency deems it necessary
to provide special controls for intelligence or intelligence information,
either by virtue of the substance of the information itself or to provide
additional protection of intelligence sources and methods, the appro-
priate control marking or markings shall be placed upon the document.
Any document disseminated or used within or outside the intelligence
community and bearing any of the control markings set forth in this
Directive shall be controlled carefully by all recipients in strict con-
formity with the requirements and restrictions of this Directive. Oral
and visual disclosures of information are to be in conformity with the
intent and requirements of this Directive.
4.. Intelligence Information
a. Use in Finished Intelligence
(1) In order to facilitate the maximum use of intelligence infor-
mation, the intelligence components of the USIB give advance con-
sent that classified intelligence information not bearing any control'
markings may be used in a classified finished intelligence docu-
ment and disseminated as the producer of the finished intelligence
deems appropriate and necessary, which may include release to
foreign governments.
(2) The information, however, must be paraphrased and used
in the text in a manner which effectively conceals the originating,
agency, the source, the place and date acquired and the manner
of acquisition; in addition, if disclosed to a foreign government, no
reference shall be made to documents upon which the finished intel-
ligence is based.
(3) Exceptions to paragraph 4 a (2) above may be arranged
between interested agencies.
b. Other Uses
Intelligence information when quoted or extracted, unless other-
wise excepted, may be used in digests, other documents. and ma-
chine document storage systems provided control markings of the
information, if any, and identification of source documents are
reproduced with the information. Intelligence information so used
shall not be released to foreign governments without the permis-
sion of the agency originating the information.
5. Under the conditions of paragraph 4 a (2) of this Directive, NSA
has the advance consent of the intelligence components of USIB to use
in its product, as deemed necessary, classified intelligence information
not bearing any control markings, except certain CIA designated docu-
ments, and include it in release to foreign governments.
6. In accordance with paragraph 3 above, the following markings
shall be used for the control of intelligence and intelligence information
within the U.S. Government and to foreign nationals.

a. DISSEMINATION WITHIN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
(1) WARNING NOTICE - SENSITIVE SOURCES AND METH-
ODS INVOLVED
This marking shall be employed in the absence of any other
suitable marking to inform all recipients that the information
is sensitive and requires special controls and a severely limited
distribution. For the purpose of this marking, such intelligence
is identified as that classified intelligence, the unauthorized dis-
closure of which could lead to counteraction (a) jeopardizing
the continued productivity of intelligence sources or methods
which provide intelligence vital to the national security or (b)
offsetting the value of intelligence vital to the national security.
Document: The dissemination of the document shall be
severely limited to those who have a clear need-
to-know.
Use The control marking must carry over onto any
other document or publication in which the
information is incorporated. All recipients,
whether the information is furnished to them
orally, visually or in writing, must be advised
of the sensitivity of the information and the
damaging effect to the national security if dis-
closed without authorization. The informa-
tion shall not be disseminated outside of au-
thorized channels or released publicly in any
manner without the permission of the originat-
ing agency and an assessment by the appro-
priate Intelligence Chief as to the risks to
the national security and to the intelligence
sources and methods involved.
(2) CONTROLLED DISSEM
This marking shall be utilized where source protection, in-
cluding the proprietary interests of commercial sources, would
warrant limiting the dissemination of the document. This mark-
ing may also be applied for dissemination control purposes to
assist in identifying that intelligence material which by category
or classification is by USIB-approved policy and other directives
prohibited from dissemination to contractors.
Document: The dissemination of the document shall be
limited to civilian employees and active duty
military personnel within the intelligence
components of the USIB member agencies, and
to those senior officials of the member agencies
who must act upon the information. How-
ever, unless specifically controlled in accord-

tion of a document outside the States of the United States ex-
cept as determined by the originator in order to satisfy special
conditions.

side the States of the United States.
Use The information may be used in classified fin-
ished intelligence without carrying over the
control marking provided the requirements of
paragraph 4 a (2) above are followed.

marking is intended solely to control the use of the. information.
Document: This marking does not affect the dissemination
of the document.
Use The information is not to be included in any
other document or publication.
The policy and procedures for the release of classified defense
information to foreign governments are established by the Presi-
dential Directive of 23 September 1958, "Basic Policy Governing
the Release of Classified Defense Information to Foreign Govern-
ments," as revised 23 April 1960.
2 For the purposes of this Directive, no release of a classified intelligence docu-
ment whether or not bearing a control marking, shall be made to foreign na-
tionafs and immigrant aliens, including U.S. government employed, utilized or
integrated foreign nationals and immigrant aliens, without the permission of
the originating agency.

(1) Classified Intelligence Documents Not Bearing Control
Markings
Document: Classified intelligence documents even though
they bear no control markings shall not be
released to foreign governments without the
prior permission of the originating agency.
Use Information contained in classified intelligence
documents not bearing any control markings
may be used in classified finished intelligence
and released to foreign governments in accord-
ance with paragraph 4 a of this Directive.
(2) When the originating agency predetermines that intelli-
gence information must not be released in any form to foreign gov-
ernments, the following marking shall be employed:
NO FOREIGN DISSEM
Document: The document must not be released to foreign
governments, foreign nationals, immigrant
aliens and U.S. government employed, utilized
or integrated foreign nationals and immigrant
aliens without permission of the originating
agency.
Use The information must not be released in any
form to foreign governments. The control
marking must carry over on all documents and
publications in which the information is in-
corporated.
7. Any recipient agency or department desiring to use, quote, extract,
summarize, disseminate or release a document marked with a control
in a manner contrary to the limitation of that control marking, must
obtain the permission of the originating agency. Permission from the
originating agency to utilize, in whole or part, any intelligence or intel-
ligence information in a manner other than specified by the control
markings applies only to the specific purpose of the requester and does
not automatically apply to all recipients of the information as originally
disseminated, unless the originating agency removes the control mark-
ings for the benefit of all recipients.
8. Nothing in this Directive shall supersede or augment the require-
ments on the control, use and dissemination of Restricted Data, Formerly
Restricted Data, or COMINT, including information related to COMINT
and COMINT activities, made by or under existing statutes, directives
and Presidential policy. The control markings and procedures set forth
in this Directive will not apply to information originated by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation as that Bureau has established controls over the
dissemination and use of its information. Further, the markings of this
Directive do not supersede special indicators or project designators uti-
