Routine Agency Assistance to and Arrangements
with USIB Agencies and Departments
A. Headquarters Notice dated STATINTL

B. Director of Security's Memo, dated
19 September 1973; Same Subject
lined the Agency's position vis-a-vis assistance-
rendered to other federal, state and local govern-
ment departments and components. In essence the
Notice set forth a reporting system whereby each
Operating Official was obliged to report to his
Deputy Director all such assistance or arrangements
so that any activity which might be considered
illegal, questionable or cause embarrassment to the
Agency would be avoided.
(b) On 19 September 1973, the recent Direc-
form of a Headquarters Notice which out- STATINTL
Approved C800fj~y140026-4
is. Action Rea uested: That the Office of Security be
given approval to render routine assistance to and enter into
arrangements with. the . agen?ies and departments of the USIB.

(c) Cognizant of my responsibilities as
Director of 5mcutity, I have recently examined
the matter of rendering assistance to, and entering
into special arrangements with the agencies and
departments of the United States Intelligence Board.
Special emphasis ot s of the d ontflthat routine day businessuo? ~
which-has arisen
this Office interfacing with t e USI3 community. -1
am referring to those routine oral or written requests
of common concern and mutual interest which-do not fall
within the protection of intelligence sources and methods;
and which have been directed to past Directors of this
Office, and I am sure, will be directed to me in the
future. In honoring these routine requests, I realize
that, perhaps, we are acting outside the framework of
our sole responsibility to CIA, but are doing so for
reasons which make sense to we and which are herein.
submitted for your consideration. Such activities,
for example, have included (1) shoring up the security.
of a USIS agency or department's physical environment
(secure areas, etc.)., -(Z).. lending security. equipment,_ .
and (3) providing instructions in security techniques
25X1A and know-how
(d) Such activity is performed in a spirit of
unity and cooperation, and as a consequence enhances
CIA's-image throughout the USIB community. I an can-
vinced that such routine requests should continue to
be not without unnecessarily burdening your busy
schedule by-seeking your approval each time. In doing
so, considerable time, man-hours, secretarial support
and related supplies are also saved. In responding to
STATINTL these requests there is no intention on our part to
circumvent Headquarters Notic but to parti-
cipate as a cooperative member of t He 13 environment
in consort with the dictates of common sense and effec-
tiveness.
(e) The members of my staff who interface with the
USIB agencies and departments have been made aware that
any unusual or extraordinary request for outside assis-
tance or special arrangements urc of vital concern to
the Agency, to you, and to rye, as well, and mast be
brought to :y attention and approved by you, if an
action is warranted.
