Schools are briefed extensively prior to their departure.
The briefing includes information on Senior Officer Research
Projects as directed in the DTR's March 1967 memorandum,
with a concurrence by Executive Director-Comptroller.
The students read the memorandum, we discuss time needed
here in Headquarters to clear topics and drafts, and they

approved in the past (copy in ISS).

h. 3 August 1971. OCI disapproved
request far publication. A copy of memorandum is
attached.
3. Our standard procedure in these clearance cases
includes serving as a channel of communication between
students, their offices, the Cl Staff and/or the Office
of Security. Agency regulations charge individual offices
with the responsibility for securing clearances for
publications.
4. The problems encountered in case
are isolated ones. Factors unknown , - ition
to changes of personnel in OCI, may have led to the
obvious misunderstandings between --land his
supervisors.

The package from including his request
for permission to publish an ar is or was reviewed at
several levels of command.
The article entitled "The United States and Detente
in Europe", prosonts no security problem from the stand
point of classified information. However., it has a
strong policy orientation and, indeed, assumes didactic
tone in discussinq what the US "must" do in its Europe w-1
policy. it is clearly undesirable that CIA should be
associated with such a paper. 'In view of .,Agency policy
requiring the opeii identification of CI? author y, it is
necessary that his request for publication of this paper
be disapproved. This position was reported to Office
of Security, I , and our office so informed
O
We would like to retain all papers you forwarded
to us.

Hugh Cunningham was asked to review the briefing given to
employees who will be attending senior service schools to ensure that it
is modified to avoid a flap which resulted when one of our students at the
Air College wrote an article for publication in the Military Review.
