MEMORANDUM FOR NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE BOARD
SUBJECT: Policy on Uniform Security Procedures for Foreign
Integrated and Liaison Personnel in the United Statesl (U)
1. In order to enhance the security of intelligence information,' the
following uniform procedures are established for use within the Intelligence
Community in relationships with representatives of foreign governments. The=.e
procedures apply to all accredited foreign representatives, both military any
civilian, in the United States who are integrated within or serve in a liaiscn
capacity with a member of the Intelligence Community and who have access to
US intelligence information. (U)
2. For purposes of this Policy Statement, a foreign integrated officer is
one who occupies a billet or slot requiring access to US intelligence information
in a host US agency and who functions essentially as do US personnel of the host
agency. A foreign liaison officer is one who is accredited by his government
to one or more US departments or agencies, and whose duties include represent-
ing his own government in the exchange and/or discussion of intelligence. The
provisions of this statement other than paragraph 3 below need not apply to
foreign government representatives, civilian or military, who are in the US
exclusively for training purposes or to foreign representatives in the US who
have other than a normal liaison or integrated relationship. (U)
3. Appropriate officials of US departments or agencies to which foreign
representatives are accredited or integrated should consult with legal counsel
when appropriate, including the Department of Justice, to ensure compliance with
the various laws requiring identification of persons in the US representing
foreign entities. (U)
4. Security Assurances:
a. In every instance, there shall be required a written security
assurance from the foreign government stating that its representative, as defined
This supersedes policy set forth in USIB-D-9.1/11 dated 20 September 196f.
2For purposes of this directive the term "intelligence information" means:
(a) "Foreign intelligence" and "counterintelligence" as those terms are
defined in Executive Order 12036; and
(b) Information describing US foreign intelligence and counterintelligence
sources and methods, activities, equipment and techniques used for the acquisition
or exploitation of foreign intelligence and counterintelligence, foreign material
obtained for intelligence exploitation, and imagery or data recordings resulting
from US intelligence collection efforts.

above, has been specifically approved by that government to receiver US classified
information, and indicating the level of his security clearance and the area
of his "need-to- know." (C)
b. The security assurance for such representative shall include the
following biographic information:
(1) Full name, date and place of birth.
(2) Specifics, current foreign affiliation. (C)
5. Security Checks:
The US departments or agencies to which foreign representatives are
accredited or integrated are responsible for making such security checks as
they deem appropriate on these representatives. Any derogatory information
developed by such checks or that comes to the attention of a host department or
agency related to an accredited integrated or liaison officer shall be furnished
to the CIA and the FBI. Derogatory information is herein construed as inc'ucing,
but not limited to, indications of doubtful loyalty to his own country, marked
antipathy to the US Government, susceptibility to control by a hostile intel-
ligence service or character defects of such a nature as to raise questions cf
his suitability to receive US classified intelligence. (C)
6. Central Indices:
a. Each department and agency will maintain a central index available
to other members of the Intelligence Community of the identities of foreign
integrees and intelligence liaison representatives accredited to them by
sponsoring governments. The index within each department or agency will reflect
the clearance level and area of need-to-know as certified by the sponsoring
governments and as agreed to by the US department or agency. (U)
b. Each department and agency hosting foreign representatives certified
by their sponsoring governments as authorized access to Sensitive Compartmented
Information (SCI) and as having a need-to-know therefor, shall advise CIA
(Compartmented Information Branch) of the identity and authorized SCI access of
all such representatives. CIA (Compartmented Information Branch) will maintain
a central index of all SCI accesses certified for foreign integrated and liaison
personnel in the US. (U)
7. Interagency Activities:
a. As established by existing policy, no classified intelligence
information originated in another department or agency shall be released to any
accredited representative of a foreign government without the consent of the
originating department or agency. Procedures and control markings concerning
advanced consent by originating agencies for foreign release of intelligence
and intelligence information are established by DCID 1/7. (U)
b. Any agency or department wishing to sponsor the attendance of an
accredited foreign representative at an interagency meeting where classified
intelligence information may be released or discussed shall give advance not-ce
thereof to all other agencies whose information is or may be involved, and shall
abide by any restrictions they may place on such attendance. (U)

8. Control of Access:
All accredited representatives of foreigr governments involved in or
integrated into Intelligence Community activities should wherever possible be
physically located so as to limit the possibility of inadvertent disclosure -o
them of classified intelligence information or data concerning US intelligence
personnel and activities which exceeds such representatives' need-to-know.
Access to classified US intelligence information should be afforded only
through US personnel who are fully knowledgeable of the extent and scope of
authorized need-to-know and clearance level of the accredited foreign repre-
sentative. (C)
9. Exceptions:
In emergency situations clearly affecting the national interest wherein
time does not permit meeting the requirements of this Policy Statement, a
determination to permit access may be made by the Senior Intelligence Officer of
the department or agency concerned, Necessary action to meet these requirements
shall be taken as soon as possible thereafter. In the interim, the degree of
access of the foreign representative shall be severely controlled and restricted 25X1A
to the particular situation justifying the emergency access. (U)
