SECRETDO/ISS 78-09828 February 1978MEMORANDUM FOR: O/SA/DO/OAttention: Mr. ShepanekFROM: William F. DonnellyChief, Information Services StaffSUBJECT: House Select Committee on AssassinationsRequest for Information on 201 Criteria (S)REFERENCE: OLC 78-0070/19, 23 February 19781. (S) With reference to the conversation of 27 February between Mr. Shepanek and Mr. Cleffi of ISS, attached are copies of DOHB 70-1-1, 15 November 1974, and an earlier version, CSHB 43-1-1 dated 15 February 1960. A close study of the list of questions submitted by the HSCA Staff has led us to conclude that the most complete and effective way to respond would be by inviting the Staff to review our regulation governing the criteria for opening, maintaining, controlling and closing 201 files by the Operations Directorate. A careful reading of the regulation provides an answer to every question posed by the Staff.2. (S) The earlier version of the regulation is included to reflect the situation as it existed in the period of their primary concern (1958-1964). The later version provides an expansion, clarification and refinement of the earlier versions.William F. DonnellySECRET

# SECRETDOHB 70-1-1CHAPTER III15 November 1974# ANNEX B# THE 201 SYSTEMRescission: Annex B of Chapter III, CSHB 70-1-1, 27 October 1966## 1. INTRODUCTIONThe 201 system provides a method for identifying a person of specific interest to the Operations Directorate and for controlling and filing all pertinent information about that person. The system also provides a means for identifying subjects of 201 files from various categories of information about them and for producing lisits of 201 personalities according to those categories. Only a relatively small number of personalities indexed are of sufficient interest to justify opening a 201 dossier. These are normally subjects of extensive reporting and CI investigation, prospective agents and sources, members of groups and organizations of continuing target interest, or subjects on whom a volume of correspondence has accumulated.## 2. THE 201 SYSTEMThe principal features of the 201 system are:a. *The 201 Number:* a unique number, i.e., 201-1234567, assigned to each individual in the system to serve as identifying file number for reporting on that individual.b. *The 201 Dossier:* the official file containing the 201 opening form (Form 831) and all biographic reporting on and references to the individual, i.e., personal history, current status, and prospects.c. *The Master 201 Record:* a machine record generated by the opening of a 201 file. This record produces the master 201 reference for the Main Index and stores the pertinent information which may later be retrieved[^1] for special listings.d. *Main Index Master 201 Reference:* this reference, printed in reply to an Index Search Request, is printed as illustrated below. When data are absent within the record, succeeding data items or lines will be moved up and the reference consolidated.23# SECRET[^1]: Text inside the parenthesis is marked as 'superscript'.

# SECRETDOHB 70-1-1CHAPTER III, ANNEX B15 November 1974e. *OI Code*: a two letter symbol used in conjunction with the 201 personality records in the 201 system to record the association of an individual with organizations or activities of operational interest. OI codes cover intelligence and security service affiliation, whether staff or agent, or known or suspect, as well as activities of DDO interest. There are two categories of OI codes for use by components:(1) general OI codes (Attachment 4)(2) OI codes assigned to a specific component for intelligence services or other specific organizations.À component may request an OI code be established by submitting a memorandum to the DDO/RMO through the component Records Management Officer.A 201 personality may be assigned two OI codes. An OI code may be assigned when the 201 Personality File Action Request (Form 831) is initiated (see paragraph 3b below) by filling in Box 13 or a code may be assigned or added at a later date by a Form 831 amendment.The 201 system has the capability of producing machine listings of 201 personalities by OI codes. For example, if an Ol code has been opened for the security service of a certain country a listing may be compiled of all members of that service.f. *201 Machine Lists*: produced from the mechanized 201 Index, based on names or other identifying information of personalities on whom 201 dossiers exist.3. OPENING A 201 DOSSIERa. GeneralThe opening of a 201 dossier is the prerogative of an operational component, in coordination with the Information Services Group. An opening creates a master 201 record. Changes to the master record and the occasional closing of a 201 dossier are controlled jointly by the desks and ISG. 201 dossiers may be opened on persons who meet the carding criteria described in Chapter II of this handbook, when there is a reasonable expectation that additional information will be acquired and filed in such a dossier. Generally dossiers are opened on persons about whom counterintelligence information is being reported, and persons of operational interest to the Operations Directorate, specifically those i persons for whom provisional operational approvals and operational approvals are requested (see exception below). 201 files are not to be opened on staff: employees, staff agents and most categories of contract employees. Files on25# SBORUCT

# SECRETDOHB 70-1-1CHAPTER III, ANNEX B15 November 1974persons who are only of local interest to a field station or Headquarters desk and on whom no DDO records correspondence exists are not a part of the. DDO records system and are to be maintained by that unit. Some desks levy requirements on ISG for automatic 201 openings on certain categories of persons whose names appear in incoming dispatches. These are listed in Attachment 2.. 201 dossiers should be opened in the following categories:(1) Subjects of provisional operational approval and operational approval requests. However, a file need not be opened when a POA is requested for persons being trained for a foreign liaison service and who are of operational interest for training purposes only.(2) Persons for whom the field requests a 201 opening.(3) MHFIXTURE personalities: bonafide diplomats of other than denied area countries, in close association with staff personnel.(4) Subjects of a Personal Record Questionnaire Part I.(5) Persons on whom a Main Index search reveals information in five or more documents (see DOI 70-20).(6) Subjects of Interagency Source Register memoranda from LSN/ ISR (opened only by IP/RMS).b. Requesting a 201 File OpeningHeadquarters desks may open a 201 file by filling out and submitting a 201 Personality File Action Request (Form 831) to the Records Maintenance Section (IP/RMS). Form 831 is also used to create or amend the master 201 record and 201 machine listings and to register the assignment of a cryptonym to a 201 personality. Attachment 3 consists of sample 201 Personality File Action Requests for opening and amending 201's. A field station may request the opening of a 201 file by writing 201- in the Headquarters file or cross-reference box on the dispatch form and/or after the subject's name in the body of the dispatch. A telepouch request for a 201 opening is made by indicating 201- in the file number line. A cable request is made by placing 201- after the term "File" on the last line of the transmission. IP/AN will open 201 files as requested by dispatch or telepouch but it is the responsibility of the desk to respond to cable requests. Field stations are notified of 201 openings through receipt of the field master 201 record.

# SECRET13-00000DOHB 70-1-1CHAPTER III, ANNEX B15 November 1974a. PurgingPurging a 201 dossier is the responsibility of the desk officer. It requires discrimination in recognizing operationally useful material, rather than the simple distinction between official and unofficial papers; it will therefore take place under the supervision of a Records Officer. Purging should be done periodically. A 201 dossier being forwarded to Central Files for retention should be purged. A 201 dossier should be purged of the following:(1) Duplicate material, i.e., exact copy(s) of a document.(2) Name trace form (Form 362) unless it has been the basis for the opening.(3) All abstract slips.(4) All document restriction notices (Form 1884).(5) The disseminated version of positive intelligence information if a copy of the raw report is contained in the 201 file; the dissemination number then must be transferred to the first page of the raw report.(6) Routing slips, routing and record sheets (Form 610) and dispatch cover sheets unless there are remarks such as coordinations or comments.(7) Record copy documents which only repeat substantive information contained in other documents in the file; authorization for destruction is by the Records Officer.(8) Top Secret documents are not to be retained in a 201 dossier forwarded to Central Files; the document must be downgraded for retention in the 201 dossier. To downgrade a Top Secret document, an authorized officer in the originating office or the Records Officer having jurisdiction over the contents of the material must possess Top Secret classification authority. If the document cannot be downgraded the file should be retained at the desk or the copy of the TS document should be removed, retained in a desk TS file or forwarded to the Top Secret Control Officer, and a cross-reference sheet (Form 867) placed in the 201 file giving the location of the TS document.(9) Deferred documents (see 56(2)).b. Maintenance Procedures(1) All material in a 201 dossier will be filed in document date order. In the case of document attachments which have been classified into a 20126.2SECRET

If they are to be retained in the dossier they should be sent to IP/RMS for classification into that 201.(3) Field index cards (held by some desks) and area desk cards may be retained in the 201 as part of a consolidation procedure. These cards should be mounted on a full-size sheet of paper for filing in the 201.(4) A 201 dossier previously opened on a person who becomes a staff employee and which contains Record Copy documents will be restricted to the ISG/DIP unless the desk retains the restriction. The dossier should be closed if there are no Record Copy documents in it.(5) A 201 opened in pseudonym should be consolidated into the true name 201 if one exists or converted to the true name.(6) Field and duplicate (shadow) 201 files no longer of active interest should be incorporated into the official 201 after the duplicate material has been purged by the desk officer and the remaining information classified to that 201 by the Analysis Section (IP/AN).(7) Any document with a predecessor organization cover sheet or an OPC (Office of Policy Coordination) cover sheet from the Archives and Disposition Section (IP/ARD) must be returned to IP/ARD for processing to the 201.(8) Desk memoranda (with or without a document source number) containing substantive or derogatory information on the subject of the 201 should be sent to IP/AN to be classified officially into the 201 file.(9) An attachment which should be separated from its basic document for inclusion in a 201 personality dossier will be forwarded with the basic document to IP/AN for processing into the 201.(10) To retain the P&L, RYBAT, or КАРОК sensitivity of a document remaining in a 201 dossier being retired to Central Files, place that document in an envelope sealed with black tape (see DOI 70-17). Any RYBAT, P&L, or KAPOK document sent to Central Files not in a black-taped envelope will automatically be handled as desensitized. A black-taped envelope may contain only one document and must be filed in chronological order within the file. If there are numerous documents of this type the desk officer may black-tape the entire dossier rather than individual documents (see DOI 70-10).

# REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ON 201 PERSONALITIESThe Automated Index Section (IP/AIS) will provide the identity of the subject of a 201 number unless the 201 file is restricted, in which case the requester will be referred to the restricting desk.IP/AIS will also provide the 201 number assigned to a name, unless the 201 file is restricted, or state that there is no 201 number assigned. Requesters should supply identifying information whenever available for each name submitted.Requests pertaining to five or fewer names or numbers may be made by telephone by calling the IP/AIS red line extension; IP/AIS will provide the information by return call to the requester's extension as listed in the Badge Table. Requests for more than five names or numbers must be listed and sent by tube or courier to IP/AIS; IP/AIS will reply by return mail.# 201 DOSSIER CANCELLATIONA 201 file may be authorized for cancellation by a Records Officer, after appropriate coordination. The file should be forwarded to IP/RMS which will destroy the folder and the cards leading to it and will remove the name and number from machine lists. Any Record Copy document contained in the folder will be reclassified to another appropriate file or sent to the Destruction Unit (IP/DU) as directed by the desk Records Officer.# 201 MACHINE LISTINGSMachine listings provide field stations and Headquarters desks with names and 201 numbers in the requester's particular geographic or functional area of interest. If a component wishes to exclude a sensitive 201 personality from its alphabetic, numeric, and cryptonym listings, this may be done when opening the 201 or later by a 201 amendment. On the 201 Personality File Action Request (Form 831) leave the country of location (Box 15) and interest desk (Box 16) blank, use the non-country code 900 in the action box (Box 14), and indicate perinanent charge to the responsible desk. The only listing which will include the 201 number is the IP/201 record for the Vital Records program. 201 listings are categorized as standard or nonstandard and as scheduled or special.a. Standard ListingsIssued semi-annually to Headquarters and the field; based on a component's interest as indicated in the "Action Desk," "Country of Location," and "Interest
[104-10408-10078.pdf — page 15]
DOHB 70-1-1CHAPTER III, ANNEX B15 November 1974All standard listings are cumulative; previous editions must be destroyed upon receipt of current editions. These listings are by their very nature extremely sensitive compilations of information and must be given every possible safeguard.b. Non-Standard ListingsBased on one or more of the following selection criteria:1. Country of location2. OI codes (organization and/or intelligence affiliation)3. Citizenship4. Year of birth (plus or minus a given number of years)5. Occupation.These selection criteria may be used singly or in combinations. For example, a user could obtain a list of all 201 personalities who have been assigned the OI code of XX or codes of XX, XY, or XZ. A 201 personality list could also be produced of all persons who were born in Germany between the years 1915 and 1920, with the occupation computer specialist, who are now citizens of the United States, located in Mexico, and who had been assigned the Ol code AA. Note however that the listing would contain only those personalities with an Ol code AA. Those personalities with an OI code other than AA and those with no OI code would be excluded. The requester could however ask that persons who have not been assigned an OI code also be included. Note also that when retrieving lists based on occupation, the listing will be only as specific as the occupation code (Attachment 1). The occupation code for a courier covers only a documented courier. Some occupation codes cover more than one occupation. For example, the occupation code CRAF covers those who practice some trade or manual occupation, i.e., carpenters, bricklayers, painters, mechanics and electricians. If a list is requested for electricians, all others in this category will be included in the printout. These non-standard listings may be sorted (arranged) according to any, but not more than three, of the following keywords:a) Surnameb) Given namec) Date of birthd) Country of birthe) Citizenshipf) OI codeg) Location
[104-10408-10078.pdf — page 16]

Because two OI codes may be listed for each personality, those names with two OI codes would be listed twice.c. Scheduled ListingsStandard and non-standard listings printed semiannually.d. Special ListingsUnscheduled, usually non-standard, listings produced on a one time basis in response to special operational requirements.e. Request for ListingsAll requests for standard or non-standard alphabetical and numerical 201 listings for Headquarters and the field, for changes in periodic listings, and for information on the 201 machine list system should be made to the component Records Management Officer.
