PROCEDURES FOR ACCESS
TO CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY INFORMATION
BY INFORMATION SECURITY OVERSIGHT OFFICE PERSONNEL
1. These procedures, developed through discussion between members of
the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO), General Services Administration,
and the Office of Information Services (OIS), Directorate of Administration,
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), are established in recognition of the
responsibilities of the Director, ISOO to monitor Agency implementation of
Executive Order 12356 and the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) to protect
intelligence sources and methods. Access by ISOO personnel to information
under CIA's jurisdiction will be governed by these procedures.
2. The primary method by which the responsibilities of the DCI and the
Director, ISOO will be balanced in order to provide ISOO personnel with
appropriate access to CIA information is prescreening. Prescreening means
review of CIA information by CIA personnel knowledgeable in its subject matter,
prior to granting access to ISOO personnel. During this review, information
that reveals intelligence sources or methods may be deleted from any document
shown to IS00 personnel. If the information that would remain after deletion
is not meaningful or is misleading, the entire document may be withheld.
3. ISOO personnel will be granted access to CIA classified information to
verify that the information has been properly classified and marked in accordance
with., the provisions of Executive Order 12356 and implementing directives. Such
information will be reviewed on a sampling basis. ISOO personnel may make
unclassified notes sufficient to identify documents on which discrepancies are
observed, but they will not include substantive information. Prior to removal
from CIA premises, any notes will be reviewed by CIA personnel to ensure that
they are unclassified and do not reveal intelligence sources or methods.
Classified information or copies of classified. documents will not be removed
from CIA premises.
4. If a question should arise concerning withholding or removal of
information, the information will continue to be withheld and to remain. on CIA
premises, and the question will be resolved between the Director, ISOO and the
Director of Information Services (D/OIS). Any formal appeals will be in
accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12356.
5. Any CIA information in the possession, custody, or control of another
agency is subject to the "third agency rule." This means that the other agency
is not authorized to provide ISOO access to the information without prior
CIA approval. Requests for approval must be directed to D/OIS, and any access
to such information normally will be limited to copies held on CIA premises.
The same rule applies to any information of another agency in the possession,
custody, or control of CIA.

6. In addition to the above provisions, access to CIA information by
ISOO personnel will be granted only upon CIA verification that their security
clearances, SCI clearances., and CIA liaison clearances are appropriate in
each case to the information subject to review.
7. The arrangements for visits to CIA by ISOO personnel will be made in
the following manner: ISOO will provide OIS, in advance of any visit, an
outline of specific interests and the amount of time to be spent on each.
D/OIS will respond with a proposed agenda, coordinated within CIA, specifying
times and places for access, and any anticipated problems. Agreement on the
details of the visit will be reached between ISOO and OIS, and an OIS rep-
resentative will accompany the ISOO personnel during their visit.
8. Prior to publication, any ISOO inspection report that includes CIA
information and is to be made public will be reviewed by CIA personnel. This
review will be for security purposes only to ensure that the report is
unclassified and does not reveal intelligence sources or methods.
