1. There is nothing to indicate that the DCI has approved a policy which
this proposed Regulation would implement.
2. This proposed Regulation is entitled "Public Dissemination,"
in contrast to the covering memo on "Public Dissemination of Agency Publications."
The regulation contains several radical departures and reversals from existing
public-information policies and channels established by the DCI, as well as
ambiguities of language that seem inappropriate for a formal document that is to
be circulated as a "Regulation" for the guidance of all employees. Neither the
draft Regulation nor the staff study, furthermore, adduce any genuinely support-
ing evidence or argumentation that such changes in Agency "public dissemination"
practices are either necessary or desirable. On the contrary, some of the changes
will, in my opinion, have an adverse rather than salutary affect, by opening a
"pandora's box" of mischief, especially insofar as the Regulation seems to be
encouraging all operating offices, if not all Agency employees at whatever ranks,
to become preoccupied with planning and promoting the public dissemination of CIA-
produced intelligence.
3. If literally read and followed by Agency employees, especially by those
who are chafing for more and more "public recognition" for themselves, such a
Regulation wi21 help to dilute the prestige, among officials and agencies of
Government to whom CIA's classified intelligence reports and ,evaluations are add-
ressed, in genuine confidence, on natters of national security. The Congress may
be especially interested.
4.. Specifically, the following are defects in this proposed Regulation:
(1) To devote a Regulation 'to the separate subject of "public dissemi-
nation" (the title of the Regulation) is to give a wholly misleading
,emphasis to CIA's basic function of dissemination within the NSC
clientele.
I(LEGIB
(0 The Regulation makes no reference whatsoever to the two major
existing policies on public dissemination?RegulatiOnin=
(recently revised), and Notice (re-issued 6:Septenber
1960).
25X1A
The Regulation makes no reference whatsoever to the long-established
policy of the DCI, in which he has personally reserved responsibility,
exercised for him throrgil the Assistant to the Director, for all
public dissemination.
The Regulation, in addition to failing to note the two directives
(cited above), cites, instead, two other Regulations (Regulation
which contain erroneous implications

Approved For Release 2001/09/03 S"'
81-00728R000100150017-0
about the dissemination of Agency reports to public-information
media and outlets.
) Paragraph 1 of the Regulation, in citing Regulation (dated 1.
April 1952), gives undue psominence to a Regulation which (as far,
as public disclosures are concerned) is long out of date. That
old Regulation seems to exempt entirely, from control, certain
"unclassified" reports and "technical" publications. In
actual fact, the dissemination of unclassified reports of
subjected to continuing control and supervision.
Similarly, paragraph 1 of the proposed Regulation cites a new recent
Regulation dated 4 August 1960), *which gives broad but
undefined authority to both DDI operating offices and DDP area divi-
sions to prepare "... releases to the public," including 'baCkground
briefings, symposinns, seminars, speeches, writings for publication,
presentations, courses of instruction, press releases, formal and
informal interviews with press representatives, and other aspects of
public relation activities." The latter Regulation, likewise, seems
to ignore the DCI's established policies and procedures for controlling
distribution of information to public outlets, and fails to note the
two basic Regulations on the subject cited in my paragraph 1 above.
It is ouestionable whether it is the Agency's "policy" to publish
information that would not otherwise be available" (p. 2, par. 2,
line 9 from bottom); the assertion that this is inferred somehow from
"NSC directive" (line 13 from bottom); and that the purpose of this
new Regulation is "to ensure more thorough and methodical consideration
of the appropriateness of public dissemination" (line 16 from bottom).
(6) Par. 2 b refers to the "protection" of "sources methods, and positions.
The latter term "positions" is ambiguous: does it mean to conceal the
names of CIA employees, or of the posi.tion that they occupy, or the
number or grade of positions, or something else, such as a policy
position or position paper? A similar reference to "positions" appears
on Page 4, line 10, and Page 5, line 4.
(7) Par. 2 c repeats the objectionable statement that 'in no case" will
there be dissemination "without attribution."
) The proposed allocation of."responsfbilities," Within CIA, for handling
pUblic dissemination (Par. 3), which is now to be divided 'between the
Agency Publications Board, the Security office: and OCR, Is wholly in
Contradiction of the Director's long established personal responsibility
for controlling the release of information for public use, as outlined
The Agency* PublicationS-Board's propoSed function, to "ProVide.any 1166--

stated, I Suggest that "this policy" not be issued in Regulation
form until it is first "clarified." Is it intended that this Board
Will be the final review and clearance point for all reports to be
issaed to the "public" and as the final review and clearance point
:for all "pUblic" distribution of CIA reports?
(10) One proposed function of OCR (Par. 3 c) is to effect or "assure" all
coordination within CIA. This clause omits the two principal offices
of Drimary concern--the Director's Assistant, and the Legislative
Counsel, through whom all released testimony and documents used by
Congressmen and Congressional committees are cleared and passed.
The last subparagraph under # "3" (mislabelled "c", but probably
intended as "d"), inviting "all producers" of intelligence in CIA
to "bear in mind" the public -dissemination possibilities of the
material they are analyzing and compiling, and urging them to "so
organize their work" as to facilitation declassification, puts the
cart before the horse.
If the analyst is to keep his eye on the publicity asnects of what
he is writing, it may not only vitiate the confidentiality of his
mission; it will encourage him to be a public-relations promoter
and will run the danger, in addition, of destroying that sense of
intelligence Objectivity which we regard as the hallmark of all of
our products. To keen one eye "open' for "the main chance" of a
publicity coup is to introduce a main distraction to our business of
advising and informing the poliey makers,confidentially, at the
national-security level.

PaIicatletz
1. The sUbject dmft regulmtion was incorporated in a staff
study draft, datad 3 Au$-,;ust 1960, an,:! titled "Dissemination. of Agency
Publicationn Tioyond the Yntellience Community". The staff study
draft w:5 rd by your offico attached to a wmoranaum dated
10 Avo:..17,t 1960,
2, El5e suggested corrections recetied from the DD/P1 the
DD/I, ti Dior of Security, and Colonel Stanley J. Groganp the
Secretariat of the Agency Publications Board has prepared a change
sheet for the staff study draft plus a revised draft of the regulation,
copies of which arz attached,
3. In pracaring the -2evisod dragt regulation we have taken into
account the recommendations of the DD/ X aPd the DD/P and some of the
recommaadations of the Director of Scourity.
4. The Director of Security bases several suggested changes on
the assumption that the proposed regulation should cover only
25X1A information which is unclassified on receipt in order to avoid overlap?
with which sets forth reqpirements for classified intelligence
proposed for declassification arid release to the public.
5. We feel that the proposed regulation does not conflict or
25X1A overlap with . The proposed regulation is a statement of
policy and of assignment of responsibilities to carry out the policy.
The draft staff study, in. the Board's opinion, establishes the need
25X1A for issuance of such a policy statement in the form of a recallation.
is not a policy statement aa public dissemination but is
concerned with requirements for disclosure of classified and of sensi-
tive intelligence beyond authorized channels. To confine the proposed
regulation to coverage of intelligence or information which is
unclassified on receipt would be to leave the Agency without a
comprehensive statement of policy regarding the public dissemination
of CIA-produced material in gavel:al.

6. The DD/P requested that the application of rarngraph 3., o.,
be coarined to producers oR finished intelligence. ITowever, thin
would exclude the production og same DD/X components which the
regulation la iatended to cover. We believe that the DD/3? Objection
is net by the revision of Parecraph 3., c., (1) to specify "papers
for which public dissemination might become e, possibility."

1. While I cannot endorse the recommendations made by the subject
study, neither do I wish to object if, as is apparently the case, they
are intended to apply predominantly to DDI components.
2. If it is decided to issue the regulation, the following amend-
ments are requested:
a. In order to protect CS operational equities, with which
the Offices of Security and General Counsel are not likely to
be familiar, we believe the coordination required prior to
approval of public dissemination should include coordination
with the CI Staff, and that CI Staff should therefore be in-
cluded in the listing which appears in paragraph 3.b.(1).
b. As producers of intelligence information, CS components
would appear to be subject to the rather categorical require-
ments of paragraphs 3.c.(1) and (2), not only in connection
with any studies which might be developed but also when pre-
paring intelligence information reports for dissemination.
This would not be satisfactory. Adherence to these require-
ments could delay or detract from performance of their more
important functions and be at variance with the statement of
policy in paragraph 2.b. of the draft regulation. The appli-
cation of paragraph 3.c. should be narrowed. Perhaps this
could be done satisfactorily if the introductory words were
changed as follows: "All producers of finished intelligence
in%41ig?nielikOr00411 shall . . ."

MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Assistant to the Deputy Director
(Support)
SUBJECT : Staff Study Draft on Dissemination of Agency
Publications Beyond the Intelligence Community
REFERENCE
25X1A
: A. Memorandum from 25X1A
4 August 1960, Subject:
Consolidation of Regulations on Disclosure
of Intelligence.
B. Memorandum from EA/DDS to multiple
addressees dated 10 August 1960,
subject as above.
1. Reference A cited a number of published and proposed
regulations and asked that the Office of Security sort out these
regulations and assure consolidation so that there will be a minimum
number of regulations and eliminate the areas of overlap and
conflict that presently exist.
2. Reference B attached copies of a staff study draft for
25X1A review and comment and included therein a proposed regulation
"Public Dissemination" for concurrence and comment.
3. This office has reviewed the staff study draft and has no
comment to make other than that the draft performs a useful
function in pulling together in one paper dissemination practices
and procedures of the Agency concerning those publications
released beyond the intelligence community.
4. Concerning the proposed regulation "Public Dissemination"
the following comments with reasons,where appropriate, are offered
in the light of Reference A for the eventual purpose of eliminating
areas of overlap and conflict:

TITLE
Comment: The title should be changed to read:"Public
Dissemination of Unclassified CIA-Produced
Intelligence or Intelligence Information. "
Reason The draft regulation as written attempts to
cover both information which has been declas-
sified and information which is unclassified on
receipt. 'Disclosures of Classified 25X1A
Intelligence" sets forth requirements for
classified intelligence proposed for declassifi-
cation and release to the public.
1. General
Third Line- --
Corrmaent: The word "continental" should be deleted and
replaced by "states of the".
Reason To allow for dissemination within the states
of Alaska and Hawaii.
Fifth Line---
Comment: The following should be inserted as the second
and third sentences: "This regulation shall control
the public dissemination of unclassified information
or intelligence which is unclassified on receipt.
Any classified intelligence or information which
is proposed for declassification and release to
the public must follow the provisions of 25X1A
"Disclosures of Classified Intelligence."
Reason The intent and purpose of this regulation should
be clearly set forth to distinguish between
unclassified and declassified intelligence and
information.

Comment:
Third Line-- -
The sentence beginning "This "
should be restated to cite as basic authority
the NSC Directive (Staff Study, Page 16) when
approved, to rescind the DCI-approved OCR
memorandum. of 8 June 1958, and to cancel
pertinent provisions of 25X1A
as they may be incorporated into or superseded
by the proposed regulation.
Comment: Delete the words "within sound security pro-
cedures" and replace by "not in conflict with
caveats or control markings".
Reason
Tenth Line--
Comment:
Reason
Inasmuch as the regulation would now apply to
unclassified information the security considerations
for public dissemination would concern caveats or
other control statements.
The sentence beginning "For the purposes... "
should be deleted.
: The changes suggested under paragraph 1.
General would now set forth the purpose of the
regulation.

In Paragraph 5, Page 8 I agree with the first sentence. I
do not agree with the statement that advantages to this
Agency would disappear if there were no attribution or that
the information value of the publication would be diminished.
