The Honoruble Clorence M. Kelle)l
Director, federul Bureau of Investigiltion
Justice Building
9th and Pennsylvilnia Avenue, NW
Washington, D. C. 20535
Dear Mr. Kelley;
In the course of acclimating myself to my new assignment
I asked my staff to review with yours our Watch List procedures.
and they have been pursuing that subject diligently.
Mea~while, I thought it would be worthwhile for us, as the
heads of cooperating agencies, to correspond directly on the Wiltch
List matter. The need for proper handling of the list and related
informa tion has intensified, along with ever-increasing pressures
for disclosure of sources by the Congress I the courts, and the
press, and naturally I am concerned ultimately for the protection of
highly vulnerable SIGINT sources. Of paramount importance, however,
is to insure that the procedures we have established for
compiling the lists, and for chilnging them as needs dictate. remain
adequate and fully appropriate to our authorities and responsibilities.
Certainly, I expect NSA to remain as responsive to your
future requirements for information i1S we hi1ve to those of the past.
Also, as in the past, we at NSA will lack the wherewithall for verifying
the ilpproprii1teness of the Watch List entries, and we will
continue to rely upon you, as the requesting agency, for thilt assurance.
However, the requirement for us to perform the NSA mission
in ways that remilin unquestionably within the framework of our
existing authorities has never been more c!e"rly evident. I am
confident that current procedures arc designed to insure that we do
so; however, I ask your help in my efforts to make doublpr-rr?Jin...
that in the process of our providing you Watch List infonh~h'r'~fi
acquired during the perfomlance of our foreign .i11telligence mis~ioJt
we do not - even'l!llildvcrtently - exceed the letter or spirit of any
controlling l~JJJ>~~brcctive. .
I"~
159
It would be of grcat value to InC in cstabl1'shing this kind
of positive assurance if, at the earliest possible date, you will
review the current list your agency has filed with us in order to
satisfy yourself regarding the appropriateness of its contents,
and if you will reuffirm for me the adequacy of your agency's
procedures for making 'changes to It.
Sincerely,
~~

Dear General Allen:
-...',.',: . '"
::,'/.
", ," ~ .

It has recently come to my attention for the 'first·
time that your Agency is dipseminating to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the Secret Service information
obtained by NSA by means of electronic' surveillance •
., " .~;
Recently, the Supreme Court held, in ~case entitled'
United States v. Keith, 407 U.S. 297, that the Federal
Government could not conduct etectronic surveillance on .. -'
citizens of-this country without a warrant in certain
circumstances. The practice by NSA of conducting electronic
surveillance at the request of an investigative agency and
disseminating the information obtained thereby raises a
number of serious legal questions which have yet to be
resolved.
Until I am able more carefully to assess the effect
of Kgilh and other Supreme Court decisions concerning
electronic surveillance upon your current p,ractice of
161
disseminating to the FBI and Secret Service information
acquired by you through the use of electronic devices
~rsuant to requests from FBI and Secret Service. it
i8 requested that~you immediately curtail the further
dissemination of such information to these agencies.
Of course. relevant information acquired by you in
the_routine pursuit of'the collection of foreign
intelligence information may continue to be furnished to
appropriate Government agencies. What is to be avoided
is'NSA's responding to a request from another agency
to monitor ,in connection with a matter that can only be
oonsidered one of domestic intelligence.
I will communicate with ypu further on this in the
near future.
sincerely.

,Dear Mr. Attorney General:
This rupllc;; Lo your letter of October 1, 1973 concerning the
dissemination to the Fedeml IJureau of Investigation and the United
Srutes Secret Serv icc of informution derived from the interception of
foreign commu~ications. . . '.. ! ..;' ,
• " I • ',; ~
~ ..:, ~ .. "
: Our missions include the production and di!isemination of intelligence
Informution in response to needs expressed to us by the United
States Intelligence Board and its members. " We carry out that mission
In part by the interception of 1m ssages transmitted over ~crtuin foreign
communications facilities.
[DELETED]
For some years, the FIJI and the'Secret Service have been asking
us to provide. and we have been providing to them, copies of any
messages contuined in the foreign communications we intercept thut
bear on named individuals or organizations. These compilations of
names are commonly referred to as "Watch Lists." No communit;utions
intercept activities have been conducted by NSJ\, and no cryptologic
resources huve been expended solely in order to acquire messilges
concernlng'numes on the Wutch Lists; those messuges we acquire
always are by-products of the foreign communications we intercept in
the course of our legitimate and well recognized foreign intelligence
·activities. '
The NSA has no facilities or charter that would allow it to ascertail
whether specific Wutch List entries are appropriate, and has always
163
depended upon the agencies compiliny the lists to warrant that they
,are entitled, in the context of their authorities, to the information they
request, and that the names they have entered on their Watch Lists ore
lawful objects of their inquiries, and are necessary and appropriate.to
their missions. '
For this reilson, 1 recently requested that Mr. Kelley and Mr. Row]:
review and re-cerlif.₯ the lists they currently have on file here, and that
they reaffirm the adequacy of their procedure for modifying the lists. The
both have done thIS, and I plan to' meet with each of them later in order .
to,discuss in detilll this same sUbjec.t~,:: "
I believe thut our current practice conforms to your guidance that,
"relevant information acquired lJi' you in the routine pursuit of the col- , '
lection of foreign intelligence information may continue tO,be f.urnished: i
to appropriate government agencies. "'''However, 'to insure that our procedures
are' proper.I request your consideration of providing the guidance
you'f~el necessary to the FEI and the Secret Service.for them to follow
in the preparation of requests to NSA for information. I wish to add that
the information we have provided ~ppears to have been very useful to
these agencies in the proper pursuit of their responsibilities.
In light of your concern, I have directed that no further information
be disseminated to the FBI and Secret Service, 'pending advice on le,9al
issues. I look forward to hearing further from you at an early date; in
,the meantime, I would be plea sed to. provide you whatever further detail ,
mlgtlt assist in your review. ".', I. ' ,
