e) Contracting. In the course of CIA business and operations,
a number of contracts for procurement, research, or analysis are
made with a variety of U.S. companies and individuals. This is no
way constitutes operations in the U.S. but rather secures the assist-
ance of these groups in carrying out the CIA mission of foreign intel-
ligence.

f) Operations. The 1957 Katzenbach Committee report was
approved by the Director in March 1957 and is binding on any of our
relations with American organizations today. It specifically prohibits
covert financial assistance or support, direct or indirect, to any U.S.
educational or private voluntary organization. Any relationship or
operation the Agency has with an American organization must be and
is within these guidelines.

g) Details of Loans. On rare occasions, details of technically
qualified CIA personnel or loans of CIA equipment have been made to
other U.S. agencies to assist in the carrying out of their responsibil-
ities. An example is the skymarshal program to which some CIA
personnel were detailed in order to assist in a rapid initiation of that
program. Assistance of this nature in no way constituted an assum-
tion of responsibility or authority by CIA for the program.

h) Counterintelligence. To carry out its responsibilities for
counterintelligence, CIA is interested in the activities of foreign na-
tions or intelligence services aimed at the U.S. To the extent that
the activities lie outside the U.S., including activities aimed at the
U.S. utilizing U.S. citizens or others, it falls within CIA's respon-
sibilities. Responsibility for coverage of the activities within the
U.S. lies with the FBI, as it involves an internal security function.
CIA's responsibility and authority are limited to the foreign intelli-
gence aspect of the problem and any action of a law enforcement or
internal security nature lies with the FBI or local police forces.

i) Defectors. As provided by law, CIA occasionally resettles
in the U.S. defectors and other foreign individuals of operational
interest. This resettlement may involve their assumption of a new
identity, location of employment, etc. Although this activity takes
place in this country, its purpose is the support of operations abroad.
