Comments on Revised DCI Directive on Monitoring and Processing Information From
Foreign Public Information Media (Dated 7 May 1982)
National Foreign Intelligence Board/Executive Secretary
1. (S) We have reviewed the proposed revision to DCI 2/4 and propose the follow-
ing changes (changes underlined):
a. Change definition of "Monitoring" to read:
"Monitoring includes the interception, recording, and transcrip-
tion of verbal and pictorial foreign media information transmitted
by radio, television, and other media, and the ac sition of
material published in printed form." -
b. Delete the words and analyze from the definition of "Processing".
Reason: This directive does not deal with responsibility for analysis
of information.
c. Delete the words and anal sis from paragraph 3.a.
Reason: This directive does not deal with responsibility for analysis
of information.
"a. May conduct supplementary activities in monitoring and process-
ing to meet individual requirements, provided that the Central Intel-
ligence Agency, FBIS, is informed of such activities to eliminate
unnecessary duplication of effort."
Reason: Compatibility with current Intelligence Community responsibilities.
"b. Will advise CIA/FBIS of their requirements for foreign public
media information."
Reason: Compatibility with current 'Intelligence Community responsibilities.
2. (U) We appreciate your consideration of our proposed change.
