MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
NTION- CHIEF, CLASSIFICATION REVIEW DIVISION,
INFORMATION SERVICES
SUBJECT: Systematic Declassification Review of National Intelligence Estimates
(NIE's) and Special National Intelligence Estimates (SNIE's)
1. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has been supporting the Central
Intelligence Agency in the systematic declassification review of NIE's and
SNIE's under the provisions of Executive Order 12356.
2. The experience of those DIA senior analysts involved to date in the
systematic declassification review process is that declassification decisions
by CIA reviewers are prudent, professional, and consistent with security
guidance Issued by the Director of Central Intelligence. It is,therefore,
considered that additional review by DIA beyond that accomplished by CIA is
generally unnecessary.
3. Accordingly, DIA will in the future defer to the CIA judgement regarding
systematic declassification review decisions on NIE's and SNIE's. If, in
exceptional cases, CIA reviewers encounter foreign military intelligence-
related information for which they are unable to make a declassification
decision, the document concerned (or pertinent extracts thereof). may be
forwarded to DIA, Attention: OS-3B, Washington, D.C. 20301, for review by
this Agency.
