Q: If S. 1324 is enacted, what files would the DCI designate?
Please provide a list of files which would and would not be
designated in each of the Directorate of Operations, the
Directorate of Science and Technology and the Office of
Security?
A: The DCI would designate operational files which fall within
the four subject matter categories specified on pages 5 and
6 of the Bill. In essence, these kinds of files deal with
the intelligence process as. opposed to the intelligence
product. The Bill is designated to eliminate files
containing detailed operational information.from"search and
review,'while leaving the intelligence product subject to
access under the FOIA. A specific indication of the kinds
of files which would and would not be designated is as
follows:
--The designated files in the DO would be all records
in the DO`s System 49 as reported in the Federal Register.
Files which would not be designated would be those consisting
of disseminated intelligence reports which, because of their
source sensitivity are retrievable only in the DO.
--In the Office of Security, the only files which
'would be designated as "operational files" and thus exempt from
search and review are housed within the Office of
Security,'sRecords Division.' These files contain investigative
information on covert sources/assets of the Directorate of
Operations (DO) and the Directorate of Science and Technology

(DS&T), i.e., people who are supporting projects specifically
designated as covert operational projects by either the DO or
the DS&T. Other than the limited files enumerated above, the
Director of. Security has determined that no other Office of
Security files would be eligible for designation as exempt from
search and review.
