SUBJi.CT: Dissemination of National Intelligence
to Fore in Governments
1. In keeping with the present policy of the United States which
associates this country with other governments in political and military
cooieration, it is essential to provide these overnraents with U. S.
a
national intelligence where such action will contribute to. the security
of the United States.
2. Heretofore national intelligence has been Given some foreign
dissemination, on a highly selective basis
This has been done under the authority of the Director of Central
Intelligence as inferred from the National Security Act of 1;47 and
the National Security Council Intelligence Directives. The volume of
intelligence that can and should be released to certain foreign Govern-
ments has become so considerable, however, that the National Security
Council is requested to grant some specific authorization and clearly
fix the responsibility foir the disser:zinatiOn of national intelligence
to f orei;- n Governments.
3. It is therefore proposed that paragraph 5 of NSCID-1 be
desiGnated 5(a) and that the followinG be inserted:
Paragraph 5(b) - Unless otherwise ;provided by law or NNSC
Directive, the Director of Central Intelligence is authorized to

disseminate National Intelligence on a strictly controlled basis
to foreign governments and international bodies upon determination
by the Director of Central Intelligence, concurred in by the
Intelligence Advisory Ccmmittee, that such action would substan-
tially promote the security of the United States provided that any
disclosure of classified military information included in such
national intelligence is in accordance with the policies laid down
in the U. S. National Disclosure Policy (MIC 206/29), such deter-
:zination to be lade by the Army, Navy and Air Force; and provided
further that any disclosure of FBI intelligence inforation will
be cleared with that Agency prior to dissemination.
4. In connection with the general subject of dissemination of
intelligence to foreign governments, it is noted for the information
of the National Security Council that the Central Intelligence Agency
has been in the past and is currently disseminating intelligence infor-
mat_on collected by it and finished intelligence ( other than national
intelligence) produced by it to certain foreign governments on a reci-
procal basis. This is being done in keeping with national security
interests and, where military information is involved, under the
resident's policy with respect to dissemination of military infor-
mation to foreign governments (MIC 206/29). This has been necessary
and extremely useful in sec tiring the prodi:. of the intelligence
