James Angleton, a CIA official, handles special cases and has considerable freedom in directing operations. He is responsible for developing information through channels, including the Israeli Intelligence Service.

Angleton has been cooperative with the Bureau, volunteering voluminous information of interest to the Bureau and following Bureau leads effectively. Much of the information received from Angleton comes from his sources, which has allowed the Bureau to better evaluate the information.

A control file is created to handle Angleton's material in a more confidential manner. Section Chiefs are alerted regarding the handling of information received from Angleton.

Angleton was instructed by General Walter Bedell Smith to cooperate fully with the Liaison Agent and has continued under Allen Dulles. The volume of information received from Angleton has increased, and the Liaison Agent has endeavored to encourage Angleton to establish uniformity in disseminating information to the Bureau.

A system is established for handling reports received from Angleton, including creating a control file containing copies of each document furnished by him. This is done in a manner similar to handling reports received from Stott(s).

Angleton's status is considered that of a Confidential Informant due to the sensitive nature of the information he furnishes.
