SLTBJECT: Regulations.
10 June 1949
1. The Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 has been passed by
Congress and will become a law upon signature by the President, which is
expected within a few days,
2, No application of the provisions of this Act will become effective
until the official publication of appropriate regulations prescribed by the
Director.
3. Pending further study and determination of what changes in current
practices may be necessary, the published regulations of CIA now in effect
will continue to govern CIA administration and operations, regardless of
any authorities which may be included in the Act referred to above.
4. I wish strongly to emphasize that our administration and operations
will continue-to be based on sound, economical and completely justifiable
practices. We will continue to be guided to the fullest possible extent by
the provisions of law and regulations applicable to all government agencies.
This is, in fact, the intent of the Congress even though not specifically so
stated, and only in this manner can we properly accept and discharge the
unique and very great responsibility and trust placed in the Agency by the
Congress and the President.
