Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/28: CIA-RDP90GO0993R000300200022-8 FROM: 6 May 1987 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.

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.
