Enclosed for your review and approval are draft procedures

activities..
cumpersom ures that a e m of hanefour ti es as len th
Draft procedures governing.CIA activities abroad and in the
United States are at Tab A. These procedures are written in a
concise, straightforward manner that is positive in approach
and meaningful to operational personnel whose activities will
be guided by them. They would replace earlier complex and
abroad are at Tab B. These procedures have-.been coordinated
with the FBI or other agencies and departments,
FBI counterintelligence activities abroad and another set gov-
erning the conduct and coordination of narcotics activities
It is ?t that we formalize all of these procedures
as soon as possible so that field personnel may benefit from
them. As you know, until such time as they are approved,
existing procedures, developed under President Carter's
Executive Order 12036, will continue to govern CIA activities.
I am hopeful that these new procedures can be approved by you
and the DCI no later than the end of January 1982. In this
regard, I have asked my General Counsel to brief personnel in
your Office of Intelligence Policy and Review on`the substance
of these. procedures and to assist in their review as much as
possible. If you have any questions regarding these procedures,
please have your staff contact my General Counsel, Mr. Stanley
Sporkin, or
of his Office.
