for Intelligence

R. W. Gambino
Chairman
Dissemination of Intelligence
Staff
REFERENCE:
Your memorandum to me of 12 July
Subject: Request for Exception.
1978.
1. Your consideration in referring to me the intelligence
dissemination issue created by the recent establishment of the
U. S. Army Intelligence and Security Command is appreciated.
2. Circumstances in the Washington area present unique
demands in considering application of the requirements of
DCID 1/7 against dissemination of originator controlled
intelligence "beyond the Headquarters elements of the recipient
organization."
a. First it is recognized that government operations
in Washington frequently prevent a "Headquarters" from
being housed in a single facility such as the Pentagon.
This recognition has led to acceptance by the Intelligence
Community that any "element" located in the greater
Washington area, including Fort Meade, may be considered
part of a "Headquarters".
b. Second, the organization and reorganization of
a "Headquarters" in the Washington area may result in
the categorization of an element from staff to line or
vice versa with little or no change in essential mission
or function and hence little or no change in "need-to-
know". Recognition of these circumstances levies a

responsibility on the sponsoring Community member to
evaluate the need-to-know at the time of organization
or re-evaluate the need-to-know at time of reorganization.
3. From your memorandum it appears that both conditions,
location in the Washington area and reorganization with
continuing need-to-know, pertain in connection with the estab-
lishment of the U. S. Army Intelligence and Security Command.
4. Accordingly, no exception from the provisions of
DCID 1/7 is required and you may on your own authority dis-
seminate ORCON intelligence on a continuing basis to the U. S.
Army Intelligence and Security Command Group and the Intelli-
gence Threat Analysis Center at Arlington Hall Station.

OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INTELLIGENCE
WASHINGTON. D.C. 20310
MEMORANDUM FOR CHAIRMAN, SECURITY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: Request for Exception
1. The recent establishment of the US Army Intelligence and Security
Command (INSCOM) which is composed of the former USA Intelligence
Agency, USA Security Agency, and former field operating activities of
Headquarters, DA, has created an intelligence dissemination problem.
Material bearing the "Dissemination and Extraction of Information
Controlled by Originator" (ORCON) caveat requires a case-by-case
exception to be disseminated beyond Headquarters elements. Two INSCOM
elements, Intelligence Support Detachment (ISD) and Counterintelligence
Production Detachment (CIPD), although no longer field operating
activities of HQDA, comprise part of the Intelligence Threat Analysis
Center (ITAC). They retain the same missions and functions, i.e.,
direct support of the DA Staff, and require access to ORCON to adequately
perform their mission.
2. Accordingly, it is requested that an exception to DCID 1/7 be
granted which will authorize HQDA to disseminate ORCON on a continuous
basis to the INSCOM Command Group and ITAC at Arlington Hall Station,
Virginia. The routine, continuous dissemination of ORCON to those
elements of INSCOM will not degrade the protection afforded ORCON or
the restrictions imposed thereon but will enable personnel who must
have access to ORCON information to receive it on a timely basis.
