MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Information Technology, DA
Chief, Information Management Staff, DO
SUBJECT: DO-Wide Cable Reading Requirements Update
REFERENCE: Limiting the Dissemination of DO RYBAT
Operational Traffic, 7 Mar 86
Y
1. IMS is planning to initiate a systematic DO-wide cable
reading requiremen-tfs update commencing in Spring 1987. At this
time existing cable reading requirements will be reevaluated and
updated. In addition, P&L guidelines and RYBAT dissemination
controls (see REFERENCE, attached) will be addressed.
2. A DO Notice will advise divisions and staffs of the
upcoming requirements update, and the first Division will be
identified. During the update all other Divisions/Staffs will be
requested to submit only those reading requirement changes
considered to be crucial to day-to-day operations. Only essential
changes, or those deleting obsolete requirements, or reducing copy
requirements, will be forwarded to OIT for implementation. A
moratorium will be placed on increases to copy requirements.
3. We suggest that OIT designate an individual as the focal
point in this endeavor. Meetings to discuss requirements will be
scheduled by Division/Staff Information Management Officers, and
the role of the designated individual will be to attend these
meetings and review existing cable reading requirements with the
area branch chiefs.
questions pertaining to this memorandum should be directed to
4. We would welcome your comments on this proposal. Any

SUBJECT: Limiting the Dissemination of DO RYBAT
Operational Cables
approval of Chief, IMS.
1. A recent DO study shows that-tbe RYBAT sensitivity
ipdicator.is not effectively restricting distribution of DO RYBAT
operational cables-sin Dissemination
pessages by computer is based on
with the stated requirements of various components. In practice,
therefore, RYBAT cables are subject to the same dissemination
procedures as other operational cables.
2. The Deputy Director of Operations has determined that
distribution of this sensitive traffic is to be limited to the
dissemination intended by the originator. Distribution is to be
based solely on routing indicators (slug line), origin, and
addressee line. RYBAT dissemination by automatic computer
readings of key words in the subject line and text is to be
discontinued, except for certain components.* The exceptions are
the Office of the DDO, the Counterintelligence Staff,. the Policy
and Coordination Staff, and the Evaluation and Plans Staff/
operations Group. Any RYBAT operational cable key word
dissemination beyond these four components will be subject to the
L" 3. I ask that you provide an estimate of the time required to
implement this change in the distribution of RYBAT cables, taking
into consideration that additional refinements may be needed.
