PART II - Background Information on Items to be Considered 

Item No. Subiect and Surmnary 

1. Classification of Intercepted Traffic Passed from Intercept Stations t2 

Processing Activities. The Director, NSA, has originated a proposal that 

paragraph 40, Appendix "B", of the UKUSA Agreement be amended to permit 

the omission of classification and codeword from individual sheets of 

annotated intercept traffic under certain circumstances. Details of the 

proposal are contained in USCIB 13.8/14. · 

2. Restriction of Travel b ersons havin COI\fiNT Knowled e, At the lOlst 

Meeting of USCIB 12 March 1954 during discussion of the Anderson Case, 

the Defense Member recommended that the Executive Secretariat be made the 

focal point for information and reports concerning travel in foreign countries 

by persons having COMINT knowledge. Pursuant to the Board's direction the 

Executive Secretary has prepared a draft USCIB directive on this subject 

(USCIB 4.2/13), which, after consideration by USCIBEC, is to be considered 

by U3CIB at its next meeting. 

3. Distribution and Securit Control of COMINT Re uired Certain Non-llfember 

Organizations. USCIB 13 351, 13 July 1953, requested of all Members 

information concerning their COMINT Security Regulations, Practices, and Procedur~s. From information received in reply to this query it was evident 

tl:1at action should be taken to redetermine "need to know" and to fix responsibility for security and distribution control in the case of persons who have been 

cleared for COMINT while serving on Boards, Committees, etc. not under jjhe 

exclusive control of any single USCIB member. USCID 13.7/7 contains 

available information on this subject and recommends USCIB action. 

4. Revision 0£ UKUSA Agreement. USCIB 14.1/16 contains recommendations by the 

Director, NSA, designed to effect amendment of the UKUSA Agreement, with a 

view to "documenting UKUSA arrangements for COMIHT collaboration in an 

accurate and up-to-date form. 11 

5. Foreign Cryptologic Ma,terial. The USCIB Intelligence Committee has 

approved, and submits for USCIBEC consideration, a proposed policy on the 

covert aspect of procurement or foreign cryptologic materials. This proposal is containe·d in USCIB 21./12.
