CIA Classification Control Officer
Chief, a/B/RR
CIA Classification Control Program
30 June 1955
I. The following comments are submitted in response to your
memorandum for all Assistant Classification Control Officers dated 15 June
1955, subject as above.
2. My responsibilities as Assistant Classification Control Officer, RR,
are for the NIS Program only, and the different character of the classification
control procedures in thiw prugrwn makes the iuebtions which you have listed
in paragraph 2 of your memorandum largely inapplicable to my functions in
the classification control program.
3. NIS elements are classified by the producers of these elements in
accordance with the security regulations of their parent agency, and 0/B
assures that they carry the :security classification applied by the contributors,
and such dissemination control as may be indicated when they are published by
CIA. Only the producing office may change the classification, or control on an
NIS element, and notice of any change made is issued by D/B to all recipients
of the NIS.
4. Any over-all problems arising on classification, or controls on
NIS materials are resolved by the inter-departmental NIS Committee, on
which the Chieef. D/B, serves as the permanent chairman.
