STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR SSCI REVIEW

1. The CIA will provide all Members of the Committee and up to 15 Committee staff (in addition to our staff director, deputy staff directors, and counsel) with access to unredacted responsive information. In addition, additional cleared staff may be given access to small portions of the unredacted information for the purpose of reviewing specific documents or conducting reviews of individual detainees. These Committee staff have or will have signed standard Sensitive Compartmented Information non-disclosure agreements for classified information in the (b)(3) compartment. (Ref A)

2. CIA will make unredacted responsive operational files, as that term is defined in Section 701(b) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 USC 431(b)), available at a secure Agency electronic Reading Room facility which will permit Committee staff electronic search, sort, filing, and print capability. (Ref A)

3. If responsive documents other than those contained in the operational files identify the names of non-supervisory CIA officers, liaison partners, or black site locations, or contain cryptonyms, or pseudonyms, CIA will provide unredacted copies of those documents at the Reading Room. (Ref A)

4. Responsive documents other than those contained in operational files that do not identify the names of non-supervisory CIA officers, liaison partners, or black site locations, or contain cryptonyms or pseudonyms will be made available to the Committee in the Committee's Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), unless other arrangements are made. (Ref A)

5. CIA also recognizes the Committee's need to create work product on a walled-off network share-drive as discussed in paragraph 5 of your letter. Therefore, CIA access to the walled off network share drive will be limited to CIA information technology staff, except as authorized by the Committee or its staff. CIA would like to clarify, however, that unlike the walled-off network share drive, the stand alone network must be accessed by CIA staff assigned to this effort to perform a variety of tasks, including, for example, loading and organizing the raw responsive data requested by the Committee and review or redaction of material sought to be removed from the Reading Room. (Ref B)

6. Any documents generated on the network drive referenced in paragraph 5, as well as any other notes, documents, draft and final recommendations, reports, or other materials generated by the Committee staff or Members, are the property of the Committee and will be kept at the Reading Room solely for secure safekeeping and ease of reference. These documents remain congressional records in their entirety and disposition and control over these records, even after completion of the Committee's review, lies exclusively with the Committee. As such, these records are not CIA records under the Freedom of Information Act or any other
