MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman of the Intelligence
Information Handling Committee
REFERENCE: Director of Security Memorandum,
dtd 28 July 1971, to Executive
Director-Comptroller
1. In accordance with paragraph 5 of referent
memorandum, the FI Staff/DDP has examined the USIB policy
paper governing information release to contractors (USIB-
D-71.8/2, 2 April 1970). Our findings are that:
a. USIB policy on the release of classi-
fied information to private individuals and
organizations (contractors and consultants) pro-
vides adequate safeguards for the protection of
classified information.
b. The responsibility for insuring that
information is released to individuals and
organizations pursuant to the USIB policy rests
with the sponsoring member organization of USIB.
2. In order to determine whether current procedures
followed by sponsoring organizations might need adjustment
in the light of current circumstances, we recommend that
the Information Handling Committee request member agencies:
a. To provide the Committee statistical in-
formation on
(1) number of contractors receiving
classified information.
(2) the number of classified re-
ports made available to individuals and
organizations.

those of their contractors/consultants to
insure compliance with paras 1 c through 1 h
of the attachment to USIB-D-.71.8/2 and to
report to the I. H. C their. findings.
3. The Committee's evaluation of statistical and
procedural information submitted by USIB member agencies
should pro.vide a basis for determining what, if any ad-
justments may be desirable in the application of the
established US.IB policy.
