MEMORANDUM FOR: Distribution

SUBJECT: Issuance of Updated Intelligence Community Directive 107 on
Civil Liberties, Privacy, and Transparency

I am pleased to announce that on February 28, 2018, I signed a newly revised version of
Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 107 on Civil Liberties, Privacy, and Transparency. This
directive was originally issued in 2012 to establish IC policy on protecting civil liberties and
privacy. I have updated this directive to include transparency. With the reissuance of ICD 107,
we have firmly established transparency as a foundational element of securing public trust in our
endeavors, alongside the protection of civil liberties and privacy.

This directive institutionalizes a strategic, coordinated, and proactive approach to inform
and enhance the public?s understanding of the IC. During my tenure as DNI, we have continued
to promote transparency in a responsible manner that protects national security information, and
have already seen outstanding results. To name a few, the ODNI has:

0 Re?launched the INTELLIGENCEGOV website to expand and improve public access to
information about the 

0 Created a new historical declassification program, with the first release focusing on the
Vietnam War?s Tet Offensive; and

0 Provided new details to the public about the oversight and use of key national security
authorities, such as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

ICD 107 calls on IC elements to ensure that civil liberties and privacy protections are
integral considerations when planning and conducting intelligence activities, and to support
implementation of the Principles of Intelligence Transparency for the IC. As provided in ICD
107, please ensure that your respective organizations have designated senior officials to
participate in the IC Civil Liberties and Privacy Council and the Intelligence Transparency
Council, and that those officials have the support, resources, and information they need to carry
out their important responsibilities.
