# UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTMemorandumTO: Mr. J. B. AdamsFROM: Legal CounselDATE: 4-24-75SUBJECT: SENSTUDY '75SAC Thomas Kitchens of the Louisville Office telephonically advised on 4-23-75 that former Section Chief Fred Baumgardner had been contacted by Michael Epstein, staff member of the Senate Select Committee, and Epstein had sought to arrange an interview of Baumgardner. SAC Kitchens advised Baumgardner requested that a Bureau representative be present during his interview. SAC Kitchens further advised that Baumgardner will telephonically contact SA Paul V. Daly on 4-24-75.On 4-24-75 at 2:30 p.m., former Section Chief Baumgardner telephonically related that he had been requested to come to Washington for the purpose of being interviewed by Michael Epstein, staff member of the Senate Select Committee. Baumgardner advised Epstein that he would make himself available for interview but at his office at 970 South 4th Street, Louisville, Kentucky, telephone number 584-5183. Mr. Baumgardner expressed concern regarding the interview pointing out that he was Section Chief in the Intelligence Division for some 18 years and during the time was continually dealing with very sensitive matters which he felt were not the proper subject matter of discussion with people outside the FBI. Additionally, he pointed out he has been out of the Bureau for some eight years and since he is not aware of current Bureau operations he, therefore, requested the Bureau have a representative present during the interview and that the Bureau representative so designated be thoroughly familiar with Intelligence Division operations so that he might be made aware of those areas which are sensitive and might compromise current Bureau investigations. He suggested that the Bureau representative should arrive sometime the day before the proposed interview which is 4-29-75 so that he may have a preliminary discussion with the Bureau representative concerning those areas in which he has knowledge of and may be sensitive.RECOMMENDATION:That a representative of the Intelligence Division be made available to be present during the interview of former Section Chief Baumgardner to assist Mr. Baumgardner in insuring that he does not divulge or compromise sensitive material.1 - Mr. Wannall1 - Mr. Mintz1 - Mr. Cregar1 - Mr. Farrington1 - Mr. Hotis1 - Mr. Daly

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. WannallRe: Senstudy 75Memorandum Cregar to Wannall dated 4/14/75 reported that Mr. J. Dennis Miller of the Legal Counsel Division was preparing the key issue paper entitled "Intelligence Files and Privacy." A copy of the outline for this paper was presented to the EXCOM with the commitment that a draft of the paper would be ready for review in the next two to three weeks.Another key issue paper is one being prepared by Mr. Warren D. Magnusson of CIA entitled "G. A. O. and the Audit Authorities of U. S. Intelligence Agencies." Mr. Wilderotter suggested Mr. Magnusson consult with the FBI inasmuch as the Bureau was currently being audited by GAO. Mr. Robert Finzel of the Intelligence Division maintains liaison with GAO representatives auditing the Intelligence Division. Mr. Finzel's name will be furnished Mr. Magnusson for consultation purposes in line with the suggestion from Mr. Wilderotter.WHITE HOUSE RESPONSES TO SSC REQUESTSEnclosed is a copy of a memorandum from James A. Wilderotter to Mr. John Clarke dated 4/16/75. The memorandum advises that the White House provided copies of the Colby report (including annexes), as well as a list of documents to the Senate Select Committee on 4/14/75. The Colby report is the document prepared for the President following the Seymour Hersch articles which appeared in "The New York Times" alleging CIA was engaged in massive domestic surveillances.GUIDELINES FOR PARAPHRASING CERTAIN DOCUMENTS PROVIDED TO THE SELECT COMMITTEESMemorandum Cregar to Wannall dated 4/7/75 attached a copy of sanitization guidelines for documents provided to Congressional Select Committees. Attached to this memorandum are new guidelines entitled "Guidelines for Paraphrasing Certain Documents Provided to the Select Committees." In essence the attachment is almost identical to the sanitization guidelines. The reason for the change is the White House prefers the word "paraphrase" rather than "sanitization." Thus, guidelines under the paraphrasing description were promulgated.- 2 -CONTINUED OVER

Attached is a guidance paper, subject as above, prepared by the USIB Security Committee, and approved by the Director of Central Intelligence.2. In the interest of commonality in our approach to the matter of paraphrasing sensitive documents, it is requested that each of you arrange for the use of these guidelines in the handling of responses from your organizations to requests from the Select Committees.John M.

# GUIDELINES FOR PARAPHRASING SENSITIVE INFORMATION IN CERTAIN DOCUMENTS PROVIDED SELECT COMMITTEES1. The Director of Central Intelligence has recently discussed with Senator Church the need for special consideration and treatment by the Select Committee of certain sensitive aspects of intelligence activities and the Senator has expressed his recognition of this need. It is anticipated that appropriate arrangements can be made so as to avoid the risk of exposing such matters and at the same time satisfying the Select Committees' need for a full understanding of the intelligence community's activities. Included in such matters are the identities of sensitive sources, the material provided to the United States by cooperating foreign intelligence services, the details of technical devices and systems and of operational methods, the identities of certain employees whose safety could be jeopardized if revealed, the identities of American citizens and organizations who have cooperated with US intelligence and some additional materials the public disclosure of which would create serious foreign policy or national security problems. Such material should be protected not only from exposure but indeed the risk of exposure. Further, recognition should be given to the need to protect certain other information which, if improperly disclosed, might impair the privacy rights of individuals.2. Proper procedures should enable intelligence community members to prevent risk of disclosure of sensitive sources and methods and at the same time present to the Select Committees the necessary details to allow for their proper understanding of community activities.3. The procedures described herein are not to be used as downgrading or declassification guides. All concerned should be mindful that application of these procedures will not declassify, downgrade or remove from compartmentation controls any documents or information provided the Select Committees, unless individual advice to that effect is provided as well.4. What May Be ParaphrasedWhile it is not possible to anticipate all requirements which may be levied by the Committees for documenting material and not> ![MOR 16 ALL FBI INFORMATION CONTAINE HEREIN IS UNCLASSIFIED DATE/-19-01 BY SP-ZALMITG]NW 88296 Docld:32989532 Page 166

possible to determine specifically what material should be excised from these documents, the following illustrations are offered in certain likely categories. The criteria in all cases should meet the test mentioned above.## 5. Collection of Intelligence(a) The Committees will probably address the matter of how intelligence is collected. Documents supporting responses may be paraphrased by removal of identities of sensitive agents and informants, covert personnel, and contractual cover arrangements. A descriptive phrase may be substituted, i. e., a foreign journalist, a political official in the opposition party. No paraphrasing should be used in connection with names of individuals whose employment or former employment by, or association with a department or agency, does not remain secret or for individuals whose present or future activities on behalf of the department or agency do not require that previous cover arrangements remain secret.(b) Some information may be required with respect to technical intelligence systems including cryptologic and communi-. cations activities and reconnaissance capabilities. Almost all of such material is currently handled in compartmentation control channels under various codewords or nicknames. No security threat is perceived by use of these codenames or nicknames in classified documents. Details of the technical systems which would reveal critical operational capabilities and contractual and funding arrange- ments which would identify individuals whose participation was obtained under agreement of continued secrecy may be excised from documents. Any question on release of codeword material should be referred to the Program Manager who in turn may consult with the Director of Central Intelligence to ensure a consistent approach in the Community's paraphrasing procedures. While documentary samples of intelligencé obtained by technical means may be used in support of testimony, special consideration should be given with regard to raw products which reveal critical operational capabilities.
