DECLASSIFIED
NLRR 598-055/1*70 7/22/02 CAS
BY du NARA DATE 9/25/14
Finding Pursuant to Section 662 of
The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961
As Amended, Concerning Operations
Undertaken by the Central Intelligence
Agency in Foreign Countries, Other Than
Those Intended Solely for the Purpose
of Intelligence Collection
I hereby find that the following operation in a foreign
country (including all support necessary to such operation) is
important to the national security of the United States, and due
to its extreme sensitivity and security risks, I determine it is
essential to limit prior notice, and direct the Director of
Central Intelligence to refrain from reporting this Finding to
the Congress as provided in Section 501 of the National Security
Act of 1947, as amended, until I otherwise direct.
SCOPE
DESCRIPTION
Iran
Assist selected friendly foreign liaison services,
third countries and third parties which have
established relationships with Iranian elements,
groups, and individuals sympathetic to U.S. Government
interests and which do not conduct or support terrorist
actions directed against U.S. persons, property or
interests, for the purpose of: (1) establishing a more
moderate government in Iran, (2) obtaining from them
significant intelligence not otherwise obtainable, to
determine the current Iranian Government's intentions
with respect to its neighbors and with respect to
terrorist acts, and (3) furthering the release of the
American hostages held in Beirut and preventing
additional terrorist acts by these groups. Provide
funds, intelligence, counter-intelligence, training,
guidance and communications and other necessary
assistance to these elements, groups, individuals,
liaison services and third countries in support of
these activities.
The USG will act to facilitate efforts by third parties
and third countries to establish contact with moderate
elements within and outside the Government of Iran by
providing these elements with arms, equipment and
related materiel in order to enhance the credibility of
these elements in their effort to achieve a more
pro-U.S. government in Iran by demonstrating their
ability to obtain requisite resources to defend their
country against Iraq and intervention by the Soviet
Union. This support will be discontinued if the U.S.
Government learns that these elements have abandoned
their goals of moderating their government and
appropriated the materiel for purposes other than that
provided by this Finding.
