TITLE: Handling of SIGINT Critical Intelligence (CRITIC)
CLASSIFICATION: SECRET HVCCO
CONTENTS: This document provides instructions for
selecting and reporting critical intelligence by U.S. SIGINT
organizations. It defines critical intelligence as information
indicating a situation or pertaining to a situation that
affects the security or interests of the U.S. to such an
extent that it may require the immediate attention of the
President. It identifies and defines: (1) the CRITICOMM
system, (2) the scope of the CRITIC program, and (3) the
responsibilities of the participants. It establishes exacting
criteria and reveals specific procedures for the issuance of a
CRITIC, a LATERAL CRITIC, and CRITIC FOllow-ups.
IMPACT: The loss of this document constitutes a serious
compromise of the USIB CRITIC criteria (as contained in
OCIO 7/1) and the U.S. SIGINT community's procedures for the
reporting of intelligence that meets those criteria.
