MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. B. E. Morris
Deputy Manager
National Communications System
SUBJECT: Comments on Proposed National Communications
System Issuance System Directives 1-1 and 1-2,
and Manual 1-1-1
1. As requested at the 23 October 1986 National
Communications System (NCS), Council of Representatives (COR)
meeting, NCS documents 696/1, 697/1 and 698/1 have been reviewed
by this Agency. The documents were provided to our Office of
General Council (OGC) who, in turn, contacted your legal staff.
Several issues were discussed and/or resolved by these staffs.
lie wish to make the following two items a matter of record for
discussion at the 20 November 1986 COR meeting.
a. We continue to be concerned with the term "binding"
as it is used throughout the issuance documents. Although
we are not suggesting a change, it must be understood that
CIA's position is that no issuance would be binding where it
conflicted with prior statutory or appropriate Executive
Order authority.
b. We believe that proposed issuance system language
grants authority to the Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs (APNSA) which he had not been
properly delegated. It is requested, therefore, that the
words "a roval b " the APNSA in NCS Directive 1-1,
paragraph 8(c) an Appendix A, paragraphs 3 and 4 be changed
to read "in consultation with" the APNSA.
2. We further believe that the Issuance System is one of
the more important subjects facing the NCS and will support a
measured and deliberate approach to establishing these procedures.
