DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE DIRECTIVE
ACQUISITION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION FROM
US GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND OFFICIALS WITHIN
THE UNITED STATES
(Effective 24 November 1982)
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the National Security Act of 1947, Ex-
ecutive Order 12333, and as directed by the National Security Council, policies and
procedures are herewith established to ensure the effective utilization within the
United States of U.S. Government organizations and officials for the acquisition of
foreign intelligence information.
1. Purpose
The Central Intelligence Agency is designated to administer, as a service of
common concern on behalf of the Intelligence Community, the task of acquiring
foreign intelligence information from selected U.S. Government officials, normally
stationed in the United States, who may possess foreign intelligence potential as the re-
sult of (a) official or private travel abroad, (b) participation in international events of
intelligence significance, or (c) direct or indirect contact with foreign organizations
and persons who possess information of intelligence value.
2. Policy
a. The assistance of U.S. Government officials possessing the intelligence
potential described above shall be enlisted on a selective basis in accordance
with the needs, interests, and capabilities of the Intelligence Community
organizations, individually and collectively.
b. The contact and interview of U.S. Government officials shall be planned
and coordinated among Intelligence Community organizations to (1) pro-
vide the maximum possible intelligence coverage, (2) minimize undesirable
duplication of effort, and (3) ensure the systematic dissemination of the
resulting intelligence information.
c. The sources contacted and methods employed under this directive shall be
protected from unauthorized disclosure, and due cognizance shall be taken
of potential risks to U.S. interests.
3. Responsibilities and Procedures
a. The Central Intelligence Agency will coordinate, and have the primary
responsibility for, the development and utilization of the foreign intelligence
potential of government organizations and their officials which do not have
representation in the intelligence Community. By virtue of special associa-
tion, however, there may be cases in which other Intelligence Community
organizations will have specific interest in a particular source, and therefore
depart from this provision, upon consultation with the CIA.

I). Each Intelligence Community organiza ion shall develop and utilize the
foreign intelligence potential of its own fficials for its own needs and is en-
couraged to do so to meet Communit needs as well. If an Intelligence
Community organization elects not to tilize its source on behalf of the
Community and authorizes Communit participation, responsibility for
coordinating the effort shall rest with th Central Intelligence Agency.
c. In support of these functions, Intelligence Community organizations shall
exchange timely information about the rrospective departure from, return
to, or availability within the United Stat -s of officials having a significant
foreign intelligence potential, and whose utilization they wish to authorize
on a Community basis. The Central Inte ligence Agency will undertake to
obtain comparable information from organizations which are not a part of
the Community and shall circulate such information as may be made
available to it.
d The Intelligence Community organizati in working with a source on a
Community basis shall solicit briefing an debriefing requirements, arrange
appropriate participation in briefings and debriefings, and assume responsi-
bility for jointly developing a plan tat will best serve the overall
Community needs, including arrangemen s for the publication and dissemi-
nation of the resulting product, subject o the concurrence of the parent
organization of the source.

gence Community organizations may assign to dut in CI
headquai ters, by mutual agreement and within th it capabi i ies, represen atives to
