"2. To insure that this policy is rigidly adhered to, the following channels will be used for transmittal of information on covert and clandestine activities: a. Such information requested by the White House staff will be coordinated with the DD/P and channeled through the DCI or DDCI. b. Such information for the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board will be chan- neled through the Office of the Executive Director. c. Such information for the Congress will be coordinated with the DD/P and channeled through the DCI or DDCI.
