A. GHQ Circular No. 62, 2 June 1947.
B. GO No. 4, GIN SCAP 13 March 1948.
C. SOPI No. 1, 8 August 1950.
2. The recent influx and growth of agencies engaged in covert
intelligence collection, and related activities, within this command
since the promulgation of reference instructions require a reaffirmation
of CINCFE and SCAP policy on control and coordination of operations.
This directive applies particularly to relations with G-2 Doc Research;
Hist Sec V (OPC); ASAPAC; FBIS; OSI/FEAF; A-2 FEAF and
FIO COiM,7NAVFE. A series of incidents involving areas of interest to
CINCFE and to SCAP in his international function indicate that clear
cut command channels must be established and effective coordinated con-
trols be applied and strictly adhered to.
3. The AC of S, G-2 is charged specifically with coordination,
surveillance, examination and approval of plans to be executed jointly
or unilaterally by agencies conducting intelligence operations, or
related activities within FEC or originating in FCC and directed into
contiguous areas in which FEC of SCAP have concurrent interest. To avoid
repetition of injudicious intelligence operations conducted within the
FEC and within the purvievi of SCAP, it is directed:
a. That there be no unilateral negotiations, contacts, or
staff arrangements or exclusive understandings with the subordinate
troop commands of staff agencies of FEC, in connection with clandes-
tine and/or covert operations; whenever such contacts or arrangements
are necessary, they will be coordinated by G-2, FEC.

b. That planning for joint operations in the peripheral
areas in which FEC and SCAP have primary tactical or strategical
interest will be on a joint basis in which operating agencies in FEC,
but located outside of Tokyo, will have a permanent representative
attached to JSLB/G-2, Tokyo, and no operation will be undertaken
without initial joint planning in which the relative risks of dis-
closure, compromise or repercussions on FEC and SCAP are thoroughly
explored and evaluated.
c. That no Japanese or other oriental or foreign resident,
transient or otherwise, in Japan, hill be employed in any intelligence
activity by any command or agency without security check and complete
clearance from G-2.
d. That there will be no operation of subject nature
based in Japan or in an area under the control of CINCFE without the
complete knowledge and concurrence of CINCFE.
5. (dote: The omission of a para G. is same as original).
a. The principle of full exchange of intelligence reports
between military and civil agencies operating in FEC areas of inter-
est will apply under theater procedures established by CINCFE.
b. The dispatch of intelligence materiel, documents,
records and reports to areas outside the Far East Command by any
military or civil agency will be coordinated by and cleared with the
Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, and copies filed therewith.
