3. ~The Agency's use of l I collection! I b~th within and outside of the U.S., is g~nerally in compliance with EO ·12333. Although the Agency conducts a significant number of e'lectronic surveillance and unconsented physical sear~h operations overseas, these activities have been directed rimaril at ind' · : persons. These techniques
In some of the cases involving L,....,-.::. ~. ""p=e=rs=o:-=n::;:-s', trr:. -=e'"ln=<f=-or=m=-=a::f;-::lo-=n-;th;:-:a~t--:-:w-:-:::a:-:s-:::a:-::::c=q-:-:-ui~re=-::d was valuable, particularly with ·
regard to terrorist activities. ·
4. ~ A.gency officers. are sensitive t~ the ru.les regarding targeting U.S. persons and take the EO seriously. No evidence was found that any CIA officer intentionally disregarded the requirements of EO 12333 or the Agency's implementing procedu.res. Agericy officers understand that in order to conduct
I bollection directed at U.S. persons, they must consult with legal personnel and seek the necessary approvals. Office of General Counsel (OGC) attorneys provide. advice and assistance to Agency officers in interpreting the EO and its ·implementing procedures. Agency -officers think highly of the guidance . and support they receiv~ from these OGC attorneys.
5. ~ There has also been some inadvertent, and probably unavoidable, collection against U.S. persons abroad. In these cases, the Agency directed technical conection at foreign targets and later discovered that some of th~m were U.S. persons. Collection was usually terminated and there was no further processing o.fthe information acquired. (b)(3) NatSecAct
(b )(3) NatSecAct . . 6. ~ A few. cases were found to raise compliance and
I l i
. I I i
other issues. The Agency did not always con$ult with the Department of Justice (DoJ) early in the process or seek Attorney General (AG) approval in cases where it would have been prudent to do so. In some of these cases, inform::~tion of intelligence value obtained from! pollection may not have been (b)(1) A t disseminated in accordance with EO requirements. Failure to obtain req\P./l3J NatSec c approvals or prudential review by DoJ before proceeding with! ~ollection increases the risk that the activity may violate individual constitutional -rights, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) , EO 12333, Agency regulations or policies and that any evidence of criminal activity that may result from the collection may later be determined to be inadmissible in court.

. 25. ('8{ Information about a U.S. person derived from I 'collection must be processed in accordance with EO 12333 procedures. The rules regarding retention and dissemination of information derived from such collection are permissive, so long as there is intelligence value to the information. For example, information that is foreign intelligence, counterintellig.ence, concerns a person engaged in international terrorist or narcotics activities, or is about potential sources or.contacts can be retained and disseminated along with the identity of the U.S. person so long as the identity is necessary to understand or assess the· information. (See E:xhipit A for retention and dissemination rules.) This Assessment found that Agency components might not be applying these rules properly because of a general and widespread lack of understanding of the rules. Moreover, based upon inteNiews of! I retention and dissemination rules are not applied consistently. (See Exhibit B for detailed comments on retention and dissemination.)
