SUBJECT: Revision of DCID 1/7
REFERENCE: Memorandum from Chairman, DCI Security
Committee, dated 30 May 1979, subject:
DCID 1/7 (SECOM-D-531)
EC ISTRY
Pursuant to your request, the Central intelligence
Agency has reviewed the latest draft revision of DCID 1/7
and the proposed National Security Agency amendment (6f.).
We support amendment 6f., but withhold concurrence on the
remainder of DCID 1/7 until the DCI Security Committee can
give consideration to the following recommendations:
a. The draft DCID 1/7 has been circulated
throughout the Agency and we have found that there is
substantial concern and objection to the disappearance
of the NOFORN caveat. Specifically, although it is
recognized that under the proposed draft there would be
a "negative presumption" of prohibition against any
release to a foreign government without the permission
of the originator, the draft does permit such release
under certain conditions which include extracting or
paraphrasing the information to insure that the source
cannot be deduced. Nevertheless, it is felt that there
could be information of such sensitivity that the
originating authority would want to pass judgment prior
to any such release. The NOFOR2N caveat serves this
purpose, providing a visual reminder. Additionally,
there is the grave possibility of the incorrect release
of intelligence furnished CIA by a foreign government
to another foreign government in violation of an explicit
understanding or liaison agreement with the foreign
government originating the intelligence. Again, the
,40FORNN caveat would provide a guaranty and "flag"
against such disclosure.

b. Controlled relief to the "third agency
rule" has been granted to agencies within the Intelligence
Community for dissemination of classified intelligence
documents in other than original form. However, it is
not felt that U.S. organizations outside the Intelligence
Community should be the recipients of classified
intelligence in any form, original or otherwise, without
the permission of the originator. Therefore, it is
suggested that page 3, paragraph 4, line 2, be changed
to delete "in its original form" and read as follows-
"... will not.be released to U.S. organizations outside
the Intelligence Community without permission of the
originator."
c. Since the "field dissemination" paragraph
in CIA reports provides, in part, some indication of
the location of Agency installations abroad, it is
recommended that paragraph lk. of the attachment to
DCID 1/7 be amended to require deletion of "field
dissemination" and to read as follows: "... (5) the
source description, and (6) "field dissemination"
paragraph from all CIA Directorate of Operations
reports ...."
d. Page 6, paragraph 6c, lines 5-8 -- To further
clarify the rationale for use of the NOCONTRACT control
marking, the following change is suggested beginning on
line 5: "... would actually or potentially give Mn a
competitive advantage in relation to other contractors
or could reasonably be expected to cause a conflict of
interest within his own company or among his associates
because of his obligation to maintain the security of
the information; ...."
e. Concern has been expressed regarding the
proposal to apply the PROPIN control marking to unclassified
information. It is felt that a court of law may not
uphold a decision to deny the release (possibly under a
Privacy Act or Freedom of Information Act request) of
information not bearing a security classification
simply because the material in question bears a PROPIN
control marking. The Office of Security is in the
process of seeking a legal opinion from the Office of
General Counsel. regarding this issue.

f. Page 1, footnote 2, subparagraph (2), line 3
-- suggest the word "processingbe inserted between
the words "acquisition" and "or." This change would
more clearly cover the intelligence cycle involving
intelligence equipment and methodology.
g. Page 3, paragraph 5, subparagraph (2),
line 3 -- correct typographical error by inserting the
word "to" between the words "according" and "paragraph
