ORCON (Originator Control) dissemination caveat.

documentedgovernment_studyGovernment Concealment & Secrecy Architecture

A dissemination caveat (codified in ODNI's ICD 710) requiring the ORIGINATING agency's permission before any further distribution, extraction, or reproduction — even within the US government.

Means a CIA-originated ORCON product cannot be re-shared or paraphrased without CIA's release authority approving. Reverse-engineering rule: trace the ORIGINATOR, not the holder — the originator is the choke point. Documented control system.
