[19]RESTRICTIONS ON OPERATIONAL: USE OF CERTAIN :
[20]CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS
[22]Reseission: CSI 50-10, 13 July 1970
[24]L GENERAL
[26], 2. Elemental in the conduct of clandestine operations is the use of human
[27]agents to accomplish the missions of the Operations Directorate. In gen-
[28]eral, it is DDO policy to select agent assets with primary regard to the
[29]agents’ abilities, target access, and security, and with few restrictions as
[30]to their origins, professions or status as members of particular groups. The
[31]basic mule is that any consenting adult may be used by the Operations
[32]Directorate. There are, however, certain sens:tive categories of individuals
[33]or groups whose operational use by the Operations Directorate is prohibited
[35]C or in some way restricted for reasons not necessarily related to security
[37]‘ considerations,
[39]b. These prohibitions or restrictions stem from one of the following:
[40](1) The Agency has been directed by U.S. Covernmental authority to
[41]sestrict or avoid the operational use of a particular category of in-
[43](2) The Agency has entered into a special restrictive agreement with an i
[44]ry : *  esganization, government, corporation, or official responsible for a :
[45]“Ls category of individua!s. ad
[47](3) The Director or the Deputy Director for Operations has imposed
[48]restrictions on the operational use of a certain category of individuals
[49]due to the extreme risk or sensitivity of such exploitation
[51]f)
[53]2 PURPOSE '
[55]The purpose of this instruction is to set forth the prohibitions and policy
[56]restrictions (as distinguished from security restrictions) which currently per-
[57]tain to the operational use of various categories of individuals, together with
[58]: the special approval procedures to be followed in certain cases. Where ap- ‘
[59]i propriate, reference has been made to another publication which provides
[60]: more detailed guidance than has been attempted in this instruction. The
[62]special approval procedures set forth in this instruction do not supersede or
[64]alter in any way the requirements for covert approvals contained in DOI
[65]t- and DOLF 10-5.

[85]3. DEFINITIONS
[87]Within the context of this instruction, the definitions listed below will apply.

[91]employed throughout this instruction has been defined in the most succinct . Dp
[92]manner consistent with clarity. It has not been feasible, however, to cover in ;
[93]2 definition the entire scope of possible variations in operational circumstances
[95]which may be encountered in DDO activities, The definition of “operational
[97]use” is intended to provide guidance for the majority of cases, and must be
[99]employed with responsible operational judgment. Issues involving a deter- 8)
[100]mination of “operational use” which cannot be resolved with reasonable as-
[102]surance by the responsible operating components will be referred to the
[104]Deputy Director for Operations for decision.

[348]avoidable during the required five year waiting period, the Deputy
[350]Director for Operations may request an exception from the Director
[352]of Central Intelligence. Among the possible reasons for such unavoid-
[354]able contact would be the designation of a former member or trainee

[420]or credit investigations.
[422]6 EXTRA-AGENCY CONCURRENCE REQUIRED
[424]a. Employees of Other U.S. Government Agencies
[426]Approval for the operational use of staff or contract (including foreign)
[428]employees of other U.S. Government agencies will be granted only in
[430]cases where the employee's parent agency in Washington has been notified
[431]of and has approved of the intended operational use in accordance with
[433]the provisions of DOI 10-5.
[435]b. DDO Agents or Assets in the United States
[437]In accordance with the agreement existing between the Federal Bureau
[439]of Investigation and this Agency, the restrictions listed below apply to
[441]the operational activity of the Operations Directorate conducted in the
[443]United States. Coordination with the FBI of appropriate information on
[445]DDO operational activities in the United States is the responsibility of
[447]the Chief, Liaison Group, Operations Staff. .
[449](1) All investigations by this Agency of foreign officials in the United
[450]States require the prior concurrence of the FBI. In this context, the
[451]term “investigation” means systematic and direct inquiries or pro-
[452]cedures (such as physical or technical surveillances or neighborhood
[453]inquiries) aimed at devcloping information concerning an individual's
[454]activities or background; “investigation” does not include the ac-
[455]ceptance or the development of information through social contacts
[456]or contacts normally made by Agency officials in discharging their
[457]cover functions. .

[490]categories of DDO asscts will be identified to the FBI: DDO per-
[491]sonnel, agents of the Operations Directorate who are either U.S. citizens
[492]or alien residents, and foreiga agents of the Operations Directorate
[493](° recruited abroad who come to the United States for operational
[494]- purposes.
[495]¢. and Human Sources of Foreign Intelligence Registered by Other
[496]US. Agencies :
[497]The Interagency Source Register (ISR) has been established at head-
[498]C quarters to provide for United States Intelligence Board (USIB) agencies
[499]a@ centralized record of agents and human sources of foreign intelligence.
[500]A principal purpose of the ISR is to register primacy of interest and
[501]prevent multiple recruitment or unintentional duplicate operational use
[502]of such agents and human sources. It is USIB policy that no individual
[503]registered in the ISR by one USIB agency will be used for operational pur-
[504]poses by any other USIB agency without the specific prior approval of the
[506]: agency having primacy of interest. If a DDO element desires to arrange the
[508]; '@ transfer or joint operational use of a registered individual, the ISR will con-
[510]tact the agency having pzimacy of interest to determine whether there is a
[511]willingness to discuss this matter.
[512]d. Citizens (or Persons Documented as Citizens) of Australia, Canada, the
[514]: United Kingdom (including its Overseas Dependent Territories) and
[516]: New Zealand
[518](1) The operational use of citizens of the above-named countries (inchid-
[519]. ing the overseas dependencies of the United Kingdom) is restricted
[521]C by agreements with the intelligence or security authorities of such
[522]countries, which require the prior approval of the appropriate liaison
[523]authority. Such approval will be obtained at the earliest feasible stage
[524]of development thrpugh the European Division (in the case of citizens
[525]of Canada or the United Kingdom), or through the East Asia Division
[526](in the case of Australian or New Zealand citizens).”
[528](2) The above restriction also governs the use of false documentation
[529]representing DDO staff or agent personael as citizens of the above-
[530]named countries. Approval for the use of such documentation will
[531]be sought through the same channels as stated in subparagraph (1)

[576]e, Citizens of Norway, West Cermany and Tle Netherlands
[577]The operational use of any citizen of Norway, West Cermany or The
[578]Netheilands is, under certain conditions, contingent on prior approval
[579]of the national intelligence service concerned. These countries are par-
[580]ticularly sensitive in cases involving the operational use of their citizens
[581]who are merchant seamen and who are serving on ships carrying their
[582]flags. Each case involving the proposed operational use of a citizen of
[583]ove of these countries will be reviewed by the Chief of the European
[584]Division in the light of the agreements existing between this Agency and
[585]the national intelligence service concerned. After weighing all of the
[586]equities, the Chicf of the European Division will decide whether approval
[587]is required from the national intelligence sernce concerned. When re-
[588]quired, approvals for the operational use of such individuals will be
[589]obtained from the appropriate national intelligence services by the Euro-
[590]pean Division.
[591]f. Merchant Seamen on Ships of Certain Countries
[593]The operational use of merchant seamen, regardless of their citizenship,
[594]who are serving on ships carrying the flags of Australia, Canada, the
[595]United Kingdom (or its overseas dependencies), New Zealand, Norway,
[596]West Germany or The Netherlands is, under certain conditions, subject
[597]to provisions of the agreements existing between this Agency and the
[598]Bational intelligence service concerned. Each case involving the proposed
[599]Operational use of such a merchant seaman will be reviewed by the Chief
[600]of the European Division or the Chief of the East Asia Division, as ap-
[601]propriate, in the light of the pertinent interservice agreements. After
[602]weighing all of the equities, the Chief of the European Division or the
[603]Chief of the East Asia Division will determine the course of action to
[604]be taken with regard to the national intelligence service concemed.
[606]APPROVAL BY THE DDO REQUIRED
[608]Approval by the Deputy Director for Operations for the operational use
[609]of any individual who falls into one of the categories described in this para-
[610]graph will be requested by memorandum. The individual's covert approval
[611]status will be described in the memorandum to the Deputy Director for
[612]Operations, together with a concise explanation of the intended operational
[613]use. (In connection with this paragraph, contacts by the Domestic Collection
[614]Division with individuals or firms do not require approval by the Deputy
[615]Director for Operations provided they constitute merely briefing or de
[616]briefing for the purpose of obtaining information acquired by an individual

[640]C funded by the Domestic Collection Division; that case will be subject to
[641]the requirement for approval by the Deputy Director for Operations. )
[642]a. Publishers, Producers, Journalists, or Employees of Public Information
[643]Media (see DOI 240-8)
[645](1) Operational use of publishers or producers of public information media
[646]C requires prior approval by the Deputy Director for Operations whenever
[647]there is danger that such activity might serve in any way to influence
[648]US. public opinion. Such activities inciude but are not limited to the
[649]‘publishing of books, newspapers, or magazines, the making of films,
[650]the production of TV or radio Programs or the issuance in the United
[651]States_of any public opinion influencing information media. ‘The
[652]erational use abroad of publishers or producers of public information
[653]media for non-U-S. audiences does not Tequire approval by the Deputy
[655]a Director for Operations even though such activities may have some
[657]~ unintended and unsolicited fallout in the United States,
[659](2) Approval by the Deputy Director for Operations is also required prior
[660]to the operational use of journalists, newspaper, TV, radio, or news
[661]service correspondents or stringers, and employees of news media
[662]including TV and radio stations, whenever the individual is a U.S.
[663]citizen or when the news medium involved is under U.S. ownership
[664]or contol,
[666](S , b. CARE Employees
[667]It is DDO policy to avoid operational use of employees of the CARE
[668]organization including indigenous employees. Exceptional individual cases
[669]involving priority operational objectives will be considered on their merits.
[670]Prior approval by the Deputy Ditector for Operations will be required
[671]Ci in all cases.
[673]¢. Individuals Engaged in Public Relations Activities (see DOI 50-18)
[674]: Individuals engaged in public relations activities which in any way have
[675]: or seek to have an influence on public opinions in the United States are
[676]considered to be in a separate sensitive category. In view of the peculiar
[678]i aspects of public relations activity, including the special requirements of |
[680]the Foreign Agents Registration Act, approval by the Deputy Director
[681]for Operations is required Prior to the operational use in a public relations
[682]capacity of any individual who is engaged in public relations activities
[683]and who is located in or operating into the United States.
