DISSEMINATION  OF  SUBJECTIVE  INTELLIGENCE 
This  regulation  establishes  policies  and  responsibilities  for  dissemination  of 
documentary  intelligence  in  the  Foreign  Technology  Division  (FTD),  It  is  appli- 
cable to  HQ  FTD,  Wright-Patterson  AFB  OH.  It  applies  to  dissemination  of  writ- 
ten word  intelligence  (irrespective  of  the  transmission  medium)  for  which 
dissemination  decisions  must  be  made  on  the  subjective  content  of  the  document. 
Tasking  for  quick  reaction  responses,  administrative  communications  and 
correspondence  are  excluded  from  this  regulation. 
1#  POLICY.  Dissemination  of  documentary  intelligence  will  be  made  to  FTD  ele- 
ments or.  a  need-to-know  basis.  Documents  are  categorized  as  follows  to  support 
this  policy: 
a.  Priority.  Documents  containing  time-sensitive  high  interest  infor- 
mation. The  gpal  for  dissemination  is  one  work  day  from  time  of  receipt. 
b.  Central  Information  Reference  and  Control  (CIRC)  System.  Documents  con- 
taining information  that  must  be  distributed  and  retained  for  retrieval.  The 
goals  for  CIRC  dissemination  are  90  percent  within  45  days  and  100  percent 
within  90  days  from  date  of  receipt. 
c.  Miscellaneous.  Documents  of  casual  Interest  to  FTD  but  not  required. 
Dissemination  will  not  be  made,  but  documents  will  be  available  for  review  by 
analysts. 
2.  DISTRIBUTION  RESPONSIBILITIES. 
a.  The  Document  Services  Branch  (SI IS): 
(1)  Maintains  coordinated  FTD  requirements  for  primary  distribution  of 
documentary  intelligence  in  response  to  systematic  distribution  methods  operate 
by  Defense  Intelligence  Agency  (DIA)  and  National  Security  Agency  (NSA). 
CU 
(2)  Distributes  documentary  intelligence  and  limited  distribution 
(LIMDIS)  messages  based  on  current  requirements.

b.  The  Information  Research  Branch  (SIIR)  maintains  profile  requirements 
for  distribution  of  CIRC  materials,  for  message  traffic  and  for  selecting 
incoming  intelligence  and  open  source  information  to  include  in  the  CIRC  system. 
SIIR  also  prepares  and  maintains  profiles  for  automatic  distribution  of  CIRC 
materials  and  substantive  messages. 
c.  The  Operations  Branch  (X000)  maintains  FTD  user  requirements  for  notifi- 
cation of  time-sensitive  electrical   intelligence  receipts. 
3.  PROCEDURES  FOR  PRIMARY  DISTRIBUTION  REQUIREMENTS. 
a.  SI IS  maintains  overall  requirements  for  distribution  of  documents  to  FTD 
by  document  producers.  These  include  the  DIA  Statement  of  Intelligence 
Interest,  the  DIA  Recurring  Finished  Intelligence  Reports  list,  NSA  catalogs  and 
standard  intelligence  publications. 
(1)  These  requirements  are  subject  to  continuous  revision.  The 
Directorate  of  Systems  (SD),  Directorate  of  Technology  and  Threat  (TQ)  and 
Directorate  of  Sensor  Data  (SQ)  will  inform  SIIS  of  changes  as  they  occur.  Send 
changes  to  the  assigned  SIIR  Technical  Information  Specialist  (TIS)  or  to  SIIS. 
(2)  Comprehensive  review  of  DIA  and  NSA  primary  distribution  require- 
ments- is  conducted  periodically,  generally  at  the  request  of  DIA  or  NSA. 
Procedures  for  conducting  comprehensive  reviews  are  established  and  coordinated 
jointly  with  SD,  TQ  and  SQ. 
b.  Messages  received  by  FTD  with  formal  distribution  limitations  are  dis- 
seminated only  to  the  addressee  specified  in  the  message  address  line.  Any 
further  distribution  will  be  the  addressee's  responsibility.  Copies  are  main- 
tained for  30  days  by  SIIS. 
4.  NOTIFICATION  OF  TIME-SENSITIVE  RECEIPTS.  The  Operation  Division  (XOC)  noti- 
fies  the  appropriate  office,  in  accordance  with  paragraph  2b,  in  the  most  expe- 
ditious manner  of  the  receipt  of  time-sensitive,  electrical  traffic.  Copies  are 
maintained  in  X00  for  the  recipient  to  reproduce.  On  the  following  workday, 
SIIS  will  distribute  copies  to  the  recipient's  division. 
5.  DISSEMINATION  OF  PRIORITY  DOCUMENTS. 
a.  SIIR  maintains  up-to-date  time-sensitive,  high-interest  information 
requirements  identified  down  to  the  lowest  appropriate  organizational  level. 
Requirements  will  incorporate  not  only  substantive  analysis  assignments  but  also 
collection  evaluation  assignments. 
(1)  Requirements  are  subject  to  continuous  revision.  Personnel  from 
SD,  TQ  and  SQ  will  inform  SIIR  or  X000  of  additions  or  deletions  as  they  occur. 
Formal  communications  to  SIIR  or  informal  communications  through  the  assigned 
SIIR  TIS  may  be  used.
FTDR  200-1    31  January  1986  3 
(2)  Comprehensive  review  of  all  time- sensitive,  high- interest  infor- 
mation requirements  are  conducted  periodically  using  procedures  jointly 
established  and  coordinated  with  SO,  TQ  and  SQ. 
(3)  Normally  aN  single  OPR  is  recognized  by  the  Information  Services 
Division  (SII)  for  dissemination  of  single  copies  of  priority  documents  in  a 
subject  matter  or  a  specific  sensor's  area.  Assignment  of  multiple  offices  of 
primary  responsibility  (OPR)  will  be  coordinated  by  the  Directors  involved. 
b.  SIIS  notifies  OPR  of  the  availability  of  priority  documents  in  the  most 
expeditious  manner  either  by  distribution  of  copies  or  by  written  notice.  Those 
offices  receiving  only  written  notices  may  request  microfiche  or  reproduced  hard 
copy.  Dissemination  to  other  than  those  designed  and  OPR  is  accommodated  by 
CIRC  dissemination. 
6.  SELECTION  OF  CIRC  DOCUMENTS.  A  comprehensive  compilation  of  FTD  information 
requirements  is  maintained  by  SIIR  in  the  CIRC  selection  guide.  These  require- 
ments are  identified  down  to  the  lowest  appropriate  organizational  level  to  aid 
in  review.  The  guide  addresses  all  FTD  information  requirements  and  is  coor- 
dinated by  each  directorate  and  staff  office  and  reviewed  by  SIIR. 
a.  Requirements  are  subject  to  continuous  revision.  SD,  TQ  and  SQ  person- 
nel will  inform  SIIR  of  changes  as  they  occur.  Changes  should  be  communicated 
formally  to  SIIR  or  may  be  communicated  informally  through  the  TIS. 
b.  Comprehensive  review  of  the  CIRC  selection  guide  is  conducted  periodi- 
cally using  procedures  jointly  established  and  coordinated  with  SD,  TQ  and  SQ. 
7.  DISSEMINATION  OF  CIRC  DOCUMENTS. 
a.  SIIR  maintains  up-to-date  requirements  for  dissemination  by  using  CIRC 
profiles.  These  requirements  are  identified  by  CIRC  profile  symbol  and  the  user 
for  whom  the  profile  is  maintained.  The  requirements  also  address  all  infor- 
mation interests  (including  information  in  priority  documents)  expressed  by  the 
user. 
(1)  Requirements  are  subject  to  continuous  revision.  Users  wfl  infers 
the  TIS  assigned  to  maintain  their  profiles  of  changes  to  existing  requirements. 
(2)  Comprehensive  review  of  CIRC  dissemination  requirements  is  con- 
ducted continuously  as  scheduled  by  SIIR.  Each  profile  is  reviewed  at  least 
annually.  Profile  performance  is  reviewed  jointly  by  the  assigned  TIS  and  the 
user  for  whom  the  profile  is  maintained  using  the  expressed  requirements,  pro- 
file output  and  statistical  data  on  profile  performance. 
(3)  Requests  for  new  CIRC  profiles  are  directed  to  SIIR  for  assignment.

b.  Distribution  in  response  to  requirements  for  CIRC  documents  is  normally 
accomplished  using  the  existing  mail  and  distribution  systems  appropriate  to  the 
classification  of  the  output. 
8.     READING  AREA, 
a.  SI  IS  maintains  a  reading  area  to  provide  access  to  all  documents 
received.  Each  day's  receipts  are  segregated  and  retained  on  the  reading  table 
for  ten  working  days.  Documents  are  grouped,  held  in  appropriate  sequence  by 
number  or  short  title  and  clearly  identified  as  selected  for  CIRC  or  not 
selected  for  CIRC. 
b.  Users  of  the  reading  area  are  encouraged  to  revise 
for  dissemination  of  priority  documents,  their  CIRC  profiles 
on  the  accuracy  of  CIRC  selection. 
their  requirements 
and  to  advise  SIIR 
c.  Copies  of  documents  from  the  reading  area  are  made  available  for  use  and 
retention,  subject  to  limits  on  retention  established  by  SI  IS  and  duplication 
capabilities  and  facilities. 
d.  Copies  of  Intelligence  Information  Reports  (IIR)  with  attachments 
requiring  evaluation  are  filed  in  the  reading  area  for  analyst-evaluator  use  for 
ten  working  days.  In  exceptional  cases,  the  IIR  attachments  may  be  released  to 
the  requester  for  a  specified  time. 
e.  Copies  of  all  GAMMA  electrical  reports  are  available  each  duty  day  for 
review  by  designated  Alternate  GAMMA  Control  Offices  and  core  team  members  and 
are  located  in  the  SI IS  GAMMA  read  area.
