Summary:  
The document details procedures for managing personnel files using 201 numbers and IDN (Identifiable Name) numbers within clandestine services operations. It outlines how requests for information on individuals are processed, including restrictions on accessing restricted files, methods for canceling dossiers, and guidelines for generating machine listings. The text categorizes listings into standard and non-standard types based on criteria such as country of location, occupation codes, or organizational affiliations. It specifies that 201 numbers are assigned to individuals of operational interest, while IDN numbers are used for those with insufficient data to warrant a full file. The document emphasizes the sensitivity of these records and the need for strict safeguards during handling and dissemination. A separate section addresses G. Robert Blakey’s request to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) regarding criteria for maintaining 201 files from 1964–1978, seeking clarification on how the agency assessed individuals for inclusion in such files, including potential sources of intelligence, agents, travelers to unfriendly countries, and others posing counterintelligence risks. The CIA’s response outlines the structure and operational procedures of the 201 system, noting that criteria may have changed between 1958–1964 and whether opening a 201 file was mandatory under specific conditions.
