1. Action Requested: Approval of the recommendation in
paragraph -3 to delete those provisions of Annex E of
which require the Inspector General to make
(Restrictions on Intelligence Activities) that amendments to
that regulation have your approval.
2. Discussion:
a. The present Annex E of (attached) prescribes STATINTL
the procedures for obtaining approval for CIA components to
give or receive assistance from other government agencies.
It contains a requirement that Deputy Directors and Heads of
Independent Offices send to the Inspector General requests
to start or continue relationships with other agencies that
have significant policy or resource implications as well as
those for which the legality or propriety had not previously
been established. (See paragraph (3) of Annex E) The
Inspector General is then required to recommend initiation,
continuation, termination, or modification of these relation-
ships. These requirements were established in 1974 as part
of the Director's efforts to ensure management control over
the Agency's response to requests from other agencies for
CIA assistance and support.
b. Our review of the Inspector General's role in this
process has led us to the conclusion that this Office should
not be involved in the management approval of these requests.
We have found that the information made available, and the
time constraints involved for review and approval, rarely
permit thorough and meaningful assessment of the proposed
&r (7/&eb)
recommendations to the Director on CIA activities which involve
assistance to or from otner__government components. This recommenda-
tion is rolaghtt t yyour attention in response to the requirement in
 Approved Fo~IWIease 2002/05/23: CIA-RDP81-0014210200110023-6
relationship; the proposals involve issues of policy, resources,
and value which are beyond the issues of propriety normally
brought to our attention; and there is some concern that our
involvement in management decisions may, in some way, compromise
this Office's review of such activities at a future date,
should that become necessary.
STATINTL
c. Other provisions of (Restrictions on Intelligence
Activities) requiring Agency employees to bring questionable
activities (including questionable forms of assistance to other
agencies) to the attention of the Director or the Inspector
General are sufficient to ensure this Office's appropriate role
in considering such assistance.
3. Recommendation: That the provisions in paragraph (3),
Annex E., pertaining to the forwarding of requests for
assistance to other agencies to the Inspector General and the
Inspector General's review of such requests be deleted. The relevant STATINTL
sections of Annex E are underlined in the Attachment. Specific
changes in the wording of Annex E are presently being considered by
the Office of the General Counsel in an overall revision of 0 to STATINTL
bring it into conformity with Executive Order 12036.
