One of the few unclassified discussions of official U.S. policy on the use of “cover stories” to conceal classified activities and operations advised that “Cover stories must be believable.”

Just a brief example

Full PDF

Short and to the point.

This is awesome.

This thread needs to be flagged all over the place.

I'm guessing by the format that this paper is a few decades old?

Great find.

The "cover story" policy reminds me of this story:
www.reuters.com...

About the freedom loving all american "hikers" who were taking a relaxing stroll in the peaceful gem of the middle east, iraq,.. while on this sight seeing nature walk, these poor innocent children "accidentally" strayed into iran while chasing an ice cream truck and singing happy songs about america... Suddenly they were tackled and beaten by evil ice cream hating iranians. Currently these US kids are being digitally probed on a daily basis by mahmoud ahmadinejad personally.. while chavez rubs one out on ichat.. lol

Yea I took a few liberties at the end, but that's how dumb I see this hiker story being... the CIA writers need to try harder because this one earns two thumbs down.

The use of emotive terms, such as "Middle East" and "Iraq" are a bit premature here...don't you think?

The document is dated 1992...and the better attention is what is a "SAP" and why are some "Unacknowledged"?

Proof of Intelligence machination...

Why is this thread not receiving more attention?

My first and foremost question is what is "Non Attributable". I know what it means...but were they tired of the term "Surreptitious"?

In my early twenties, I encountered an individual whom left a phone number around. I called it. The recording I encountered told me that there were no traces on the phone I was calling from.

Given my experiences, check the first link in my signature, I think these documents are real.

That sounds like a handy phone number to have. Is it still active? Probably shouldn't use it too often, unless you want to be the next one to "run off after an ice cream truck in the middle of the night."

Amazing find. I read the entire document and a lot of it I will admit seams fuzzy to me. The parts you pointed out seam very clear though.

Sections O and P definitely state for a fact if this document is true, that the government itself is just a puppet for a handful of people. Very, very interesting document.

This is real?

Active?

Couldn't say. I didn't record it. I know the name of the human but will not divulge it because I don't believe in giving such personal info out.

I even remember the box I found it in...this was pre-ATS for me.

Seems I may have a vague memory of those 'SAPs' in refernce to certain aspects of the UFO discussion.

As in, the 'Majestic 12' documents. Anything withthe moniker 'Majic' too.

Did my memory jump the shark on this, does anyone know, does it ring and bells?

Full PDF, eh?

Then maybe someone could explain why there appear to be pages missing? Check the page numbers at the bottoms of pages, and also the text in some cases does not continue properly from page to page.

That is NOT the full PDF of the original document, if this is the original document at all...

Yep, you're right. Pages are missing. Goes from 2-1-3 to 3-1-3? And I've never seen pages numbered like that on government documents. It will be 2-123 for page 123, Chapter 2, for example.

And there's a forward but no table of contents?

And I think (if I remember correctly) that the FOUO has to be on the top and bottom of every page.

Yeah, well there's an awful lot missing too, like what, at least 7 or 8 full chapters?

And I question the lack of department control numbers too. I dunno man, this is starting to feel like maybe it belongs in HOAX forum.

Well, you and the rest of ATS staff better hope it is, because if it isn't, you and everyone who has viewed this "classified" information, as warned in the document, has just committed a crime.

It's not "classified", per se. It's "For Official Use Only". The same thing that's painted on the side of government vehicles.

Hmmm....and the FOUO markings are correct. They are at the bottom of the pages. I know Confidential and above is top and bottom.

And for those that are curious on how US classified documents are marked:

Saved to my hard drive. I correctly guessed the time period (see my above post) based on other de-classified documents.

There is no crime here.

Then where is the "DECLASSIFIED" stamp, with the declassification officer's approval signature?
