Rescission: Annex B of Chapter III, CSHB 70-1-L 27 October 1966

1. INTRODUCTION

    The 201 system provides a method for identifying a person of specific in-
terest to the Operations Directorate and for controlling and filing all pertinent
information about that person. The system also provides a means for identifying.
subjects of 201 files from various categories of information -about them and for
producing lisits of ,201 personalities according to those categories. Only a rela-.
tively small number of personalities indexed are of sufficient interest to justify
opening a 201 dossier. These are normally subjects of extensive reporting and
CI investigation, prospective agents and sources, members of groups and organi-
zations of continuing target interest, or subjects on whom a volume of corre-
spondence has accumulated.


2. THE  201 SYSTEM

    The principal features of the 201 system are:


    a. The 201 Number: a unique number, i.e., 201-1234567, assigned to each
individual in the system to serve as identifying file tiumber for reporting on that
individual.


    b. The 201 Dossier: the official file containing the 201 opening form (Form
831) and all biographic reporting on and references to the individual, i.e., per-
sonal history, current status, and prospects.

    c. The Master 201 Record: a machine record generated by the opening of
a 201 file. This record produces the master 201 reference for the Main Index and
stores the pertinent information which may later be retrieved\ for special listings.
