The following is submitted in response to Mr. Gray's request at the 29 August Planning Board meeting. L';'e do not employ a standard distribution list for the dissemination of NSC documents. Instead, with the exception of a small number of top personnel or eecretariate who receive most NSC documents regularly, our dissemin- ation procedures are individually tailored to insure that those Agency personnel with a need to read the particular NSC documents concerned see them. This procedure protects the security of the documents as well. 2. Within the above general policy, individual NSC papers, particularly country or area papers, are more widely distributed on the DDP side of CIA than within the other major components, in view of DDP's operational responsibilities. Most NSC papers are sent to a central point on the DDP staff, which makes further dissemination. Their analysis of MP circulation is attached. 3. Also attached is a list of other agency officials to whom NSC documents are routed or made available an a need-to.know basis. Of this list, hasevcr, only the Director, the Deputy Director, Deputy Director for Intelligence, and his two assistants concerned with MSC matters regularly see most NBC papers. Most country and area papers are seen regularly by the Board of National Estimates, and by those substantive staff chiefs and analysts who are called upon to comment on them.
