Copy..j- ofd;: 

IDENTIFICATION OF NRP INFORMATION 

THAT MAY BE HANDLED 

IN OTHER. THAN BYEMAN CONTROL C:HANNELS 

A. To effect the dissemination of BYEMAN project technological 

info:.·mation related to terrestrial image sensing that is considered 

essential for the formulation 'of intelligence requirements, and the 

necessary programming for and exploitation of the end product. 

B. To establish the principles which will effect the classification 

criteria and dissemination of this information from the BYEMAN System 

to TALENT, TALENT-KEYHOLE, or other security control. 

Policy 

The Senior Intelligence Officers will identify the technological 

inio:anation required to accomplish the above purpose. Based on this, 

the D/NRO and the Program Directors will release that information 

deemed essential in accordance with the principles outlined in subparagraphs 1 - 5 below. Present agreements on release, which will be 

updated as re,quired, are specified in the attachments. 

1. Dissemination will always be made in accordance 

with a strict application of the need-to-know principle under 

the prescribed security cL1ssification and the controls 

specified in COMOR Directive, COMOR-D-1/9. Dissemination 

at all times will be subject to review by the Director of 

Security, CIA. 

2. Information app~aring in the attachment identified 

by asterisks (>!~) will in each instance require approval by 

the D/NRO. Necessary coordination with Directors of 

Program Offices will be accomplished by the NRO Staff.

Release of any of the information in these programs 

outside of BYEMAN controls will be on an ad hoc basis 

to n1eet a specific need. 

3. Dissemination of the specified information 

related to both manned and unmanned satellite systems 

will be under TALENT /KEYHOLE controls. 

4. Dissemination of the specified information 

related to aircrait and drone systems will be under 

TALENT controls unless otherwise prescribed. 

5. All sanitization from BYEMAN security 

controls will be accomplished in BYEMAN secure areas 

by personnel approved for access to the applicable 

BYEMAN project(s}.
