DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE DIRECTIVE NO.
SUBJECT: Controls for Dissemination and Use of Intelligence and
Intelligence Information
Pursuant to the provisions of NSCID No. 1 (New Series, 15 September
1958), paragraph 2 (a) (5), and paragraph 5, and for the purpose of protecting
intelligence, intelligence information, and intelligence sources and methods
from unauthorized disclosure, the following procedures are established to
control uniformly the dissemination and use of intelligence and intelligence
information.
1. The basic control for the safeguarding of classified information
is established by Executive Order 10501. Section 7 (c) of Executive Order
10501 stipulates that defense information originating in a department or agency
will not be disseminated outside another receiving agency without permission
of the originating agency, except as provided in Section 102 of the National
Security Act of 1947, as amended. The control markings and procedures set
forth below shall be utilized by an originating agency to restrict the internal
dissemination and use of intelligence and intelligence information by a receiving
agency, or to permit the dissemination of such information outside of the
receiving agency. Such restrictive or permissive action is to be consonant
with the protection of intelligence, intelligence information and of the intel-
ligence sources and methods involved.
2. The standardization of the control markings and the procedures
set forth in this Directive are to be employed uniformly by all departments
This Directive supersedes DCID No. 11/2 of 11/15/54.

and agencies in the intelligence community thereby assuring like control and
restrictions on the use of intelligence and intelligence information disseminated
within the departments and agencies represented on the United States Intelligence
Board. The substance of this Directive will be published in the appropriate
regulation or notice media of each agency or department.
3. Whenever an originating department or agency deems it necessary
to provide special controls for intelligence or intelligence information, either
by virtue of the substance of the information, itself or to provide additional pro-
tection of intelligence sources and methods, the appropriate control marking or
markings will be placed upon the document. Any document disseminated or used
within or outside the intelligence community and bearing any of the control
markings set forth in this Directive will be controlled carefully by all recipients
in strict conformity with the requirements and restrictions of this Directive.
Oral disclosures of information are to be in conformity with the intent and re-
quirements of this Directive.
4. In accordance with paragraph 3, the following markings shall be
used for the control of intelligence and intelligence information within the
U. S. Government and to foreign nationals.

summarize, or disseminate a document marked with a control in a manner not
permitted by the limitation of that control marking must obtain the permission of
the originating agency. Permission from the originating agency to utilize, in
whole or part, any intelligence or intelligence information in a manner other than
specified by the control markings applies only to the specific purpose of the re-
questor and does not automatically apply to all recipients of the information as
originally disseminated, unless the originating agency removes the control
marking for the benefit of all recipients.

the special controls for the dissemination and use of special and atomic intel-
ligence nor do they affect special indicators utilized by the various departments
