UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
COHMTTEE ON DOCUMF2 TATION
pwTEM ION OF PROPRIrrARY IWrEREST
The Agencies . and Departnsnts cou oe ng the united States Intelligence
Board have charged the C,ommamittee on Danonmentatto with responsibility for
exchanging information on research aancll contracts for the development abd
operation of system, equip>n and techniques for the storage and
retrieval Of inforration.
The Co .ttee recognizes that the reports of private contractors with
the LSO OwwrMent will contain Inforymaatice of proprietary nature effect
ing their tinavicial and coaaaQetitive status in the naaarkeet. Unauthorized
divulgence of such privately owned Information 'to the representatives of
a second c tractor or coaapetitor by an employee of a VMS Agency will,
among many undesirable results, tend to reduce or elf hate exchange of
information essential to the preeenttcrn of duplicative research and the
adoption of inferior systems and equipment for bsnding information.
The Conattee therefore urges that exchange of such Information
between the aammber agencies be conducted under the following _ conditiaaans
which may be posted,, at the discretion of the releasing Agency, on each
.V DCID wo. i/1 (Nam series) effective 21 April 1958, established a
Ccsmaaadttee on Doowentstiaea with P'ar. 3, Punetione, (a) reading as
follows s "to exchange Information within the Intelligence di s
on the solution of doo~ntation probieaans, InCludiag wa ,
researches, contracts, proposed agreements and actions,
p blicationa, seminars, and demonstrations."
