MEMORANDUM FOR: Secretary, USIB Security Committee
SUBJECT Use of ORCON on DO Reporting - 15 November
to 15 December 1975
REFERENCE Memorandum for Holders-1, USIB-D-5.1/42
from D/DCI/IC dated 13 November 1975
1. As a consequence of referent memorandum the Directorate
of Operations advised its field stations on 17 November to
examine their use of the ORCON dissemination control to insure
that it is not used when it does not have to be. The stations
were also informed that the USIB Security Committee would
review the use of ORCON within the intelligence community
during the period 15 November through 15 December 1975.
2. A review of Directorate of Operations intelligence
information reports, exclusive of 25X1
reports, for the period 15 Novemb
.L 9, ijecumuer snows
that the ORCON control appeared on 621 reports which consti-
tuted 44.16% of the total for the period. During a three
week period immediately after DCID 1/7 went into effect on
5 October 1975, ORCON appeared on 47.5% of the Directorate of
Operations reports.
3. For purposes of comparison with controls used on
Directorate of Operations reports prior to the promulgation
of the current DCID 1/7 it should be noted that during FY 75
the control NO DISSEM ABROAD appeared on 49.3% of all reports
disseminated.
4. The Directorate of Operations is fully aware that
the use of ORCON on its reports inhibits the redissemination
of the information in intelligence community publications and
for this reason will continue to monitor carefully the use of
the control. It should also be pointed out that the Director-
ate makes every effort to ensure that those who must receive
the information, both in the U.S. and abroad, have direct
access to the ORCON-controlled resorts themselves,
