UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
CO!llITTEE ON DOCUfINTATION
Citation of Another Agency's Report
"That whenever it is appropriate and otherwise perarai.ssible in a
positive intelligence information report of any USIB Agency to make
reference to a specific positive intelligence information report of
another USIB Agency, the latter report ordiner 2 should,, be cited"
by precisely identifying data (if these data are readily available)
rather than by vague allusion to 'a report from another agency' or
similar language.
"If the original report bears any .special restriction on non-
foreign dissemination beyond that imposed by the security classifica-
tion and the needdtokcnow principle, reference to it will not be
permissible (eacept by specific waiver of the originator) unless the
other-agency report in which it is referenced bears equivalent
%W restriction on disseminationp**
"The purpose of this resolution is to facilitate identification
and retrieval of the referent report by or on behalf of cleared U.S.
personnel who need to see the full text,
"Except by specific waiver of the originator, the securitwyr
classification of the original report will be preserved in the other-
agency report if any part of the content is revealed, If the original
report was TOP SECRET, this fact will be included in the identifying
data."
This is a matter of judgment for which no hard and fast rule can be
given. Generally speaking, precise identification need not be made if
the reference is very slight or peripheral, or is to a line of reporting
rather than to any specific report, ..~,..._......
Any such "special restriction" on a headquarters dissemination will take
the form of a dissemination control (LIMITED,. NO DISSEZ4 ABROAD, or BACK.
GROUND USE ONLY) which will appear on the face of the report. On a
field dissemination it may take any form which clearly demonstrates
intent, and may appear on the face of the report or be attached thereto,,
If the field recipient wishes to cite such a report in his own v*=unics-
tion and has any doubt as to what would be ct-,aeidered "equivalent
restriction" on .dissemination' he should. gaaexy the originator.
