procedures (such as physical or technical surveillances

or neighborhood inquiries) aiming at developing information

concerning an individual's activities or background;

"investigation" does not include the acceptance or the

development of information through social contacts or contacts

normally made by CIA agents in discharging their cover

functions.

(2) CIA will seok concurrence and coordination of

the FBI before approaching for recruitment any foreign

official or communist-bloc visitor in the United States.

The FBI will concur and coordinate if the proposed action

does not conflict with any operation, current or planned,

including active investigation of the FBI.

(3) CIA will advise the FBI prior to any planned

meeting between a CIA asset and a foreign official or

communist-bloc visitor of known or presumed interest to

the FBI (this would include all communist-bloc officials

and visitors) for purposes of assessment and social

development.

assignment, the Bureau will be advised and the two agencies

vill confer regarding the handling of the agent in the

United States. It is recognized that each case will have

its individual peculiarities. The governing principle will

be positive intelligence interest as weighed

against

internal security factors. CIA will continue its

contractual relationship for the purpose of handling

the training, the procurement of positive foreign

intelligence,

the fulfillment of CIA commitments to

the agent, and the preparation of the agent for his

next assignment abroad.

(6) In those cases where CIA will be handling its

agent in the United States,

CIA will service FBI security

or counterintelligence requirenents and will provide the

FBI all agent information bearing on counterintelligence

or internal security matters, including the scope and

nature of the agent's access

to information and the

identities of the agent's significant contacts, particularly

in the communist-bloc field.

In such cases where CIA

servicing has been inadequate to FBI internal security

interests, the FBI will have direct access to the agent.
