SUBJECT Executive Order 11652 Requirement
to Report Unauthorized Disclosures
to I-CRC
FROM
STAT
1? Assistant for Information, DDA,
called a meeting in his office on 8 February 1977 to discuss
the Executive Order 11652 requirement to report regu: rl.y
to the Interagency Classification Review Committee ( RC}
on unauthorized disclosures. The meeting was attendo.--l.
by S ecial Assistant for Classific: on,
Al, Office of General Counsel, and
myself.
the impenui,-g
indicated his desire to discuss this noncompliance with
the ICRC representatives
and ICRCoon~~l'.ze
between ttheeAgsame encytime
some type of agreement
this topic.
3. To date the Agency has not reported any unauthorized
disclosures to the ICRC on security grounds, although it
is difficult to particularlize this basis of noncompliance,
since reports may be submitted on a classified basis. It
must also be noted, however, that reports submitted to
ICRC on unauthorized disclosures are in turn given to one
or more Congressional committees for review.
2. The purpose of.the get together was to discu.-s
our noncompliance with the cited -requirement in view -of

4. The urgency of the immediate situation is prcdic tcd.
on an ICRC request that the Agency's report covering tite
final quarter of calendar year 1976 include some info-, r:,!a ti on
at least on the Edwin Moore case. Further, during
past week OGC had suggested to that the Agee.;:- STAT
selectively report to ICRC on unauthorized disclosures.
5. cited some disadvantages to such sel_::.t1.
reporting, which I seconded. The most serious disad%antaf;o
would be creation of a false impression of the extent
to which unauthorized disclosures occur. For example,
if in the current reporting period we mentioned only the
Moore case, a Congressman might later respond to our
general complaints about the unauthorized disclosure
problem by stating that he had reviewed our report to
ICRC and only one disclosure had occurred. Discussion
at the instant meeting resulted in agreement that se1:tive
reporting was not the option to follow.
STAT
6. At request I then outlined the Office STAT
of Security's reasons and desire to avoid submitting
reports of any unauthorized disclosures to ICRC, emp''1:i~1izing
that most of them involve sensitive compartmented in7or;nation
and some of them are associated with cases, knowled> of
which must be severely..restrict.ed.
7. A compromise proposal discussed was the poss `~~i.?.ity
of the Agency preparing reports on all unauthorized disclosures
within the purview of CIA in the format dictated by ICfC,
but retaining these reports in a central location at the
Agency (either in the Office of Security or under the
cognizance of the Assistant for Information). The compromise
proposal would not involve any submission of these reps: i.?ts
to ICRC, but would permit henceforth on a semi-annual
basis a statistical summary of unauthorized disclosures
associated with the Agency.
8. The Office of Security was asked to review this
compromise proposal and advise whether it would be acce;)table
to it. Its acceptability should be reported to the Ass;stant
for Information not later than 10 February, so that it
may be discussed with the ICRC representative on 11 Febru.1r-y.

9. It is felt that the proposal is a reasonable
compromise and, if we can sell it to the ICRC, we are
ahead of the game. Not only do we maintain the classi1_ic?d
aspects of unauthorized disclosures under Agency control
and preclude their details getting excessive disseminatiui,,
but we positively notify ICRC and in turn the Congress
on a regular basis of how big a problem such disclosures
are. As a possible by-product, preparation of the ICPC
formatted report on each unauthorized disclosure may
obviate the necessity for continued maintenance of the
Leak Data Base or may serve as the basic input to this
data base in the future.

ling methods in lieu of an actual count. Sampling methods already approved may continue in effect
until revised.
