SUBJECT: Office of Security Relationship with the Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA)
The relationship of this Office with LEAA began in June
of 1970. At that time it concerned the dissemination of the
Trace Metal Detection Technique to Law Enforcement Officials.
On 10 June 1970, the Director of Security forwarded a memoran-
dum to the Director of Central Intelligence recommending that
LEAA be utilized as the appropriate dissemination agency to
expand demonstrations of the aforementioned techniques to law
enforcement officials. This memorandum was reviewed by the
General Counsel, the Deputy Director for Plans, the Deputy
Director for Support, the Executive Director-Comptroller and
the Director of Central Intelligence, all of whom concurred.
On 19 June, a memorandum from the Director of Central Intelligence
to the then Attorney General asked for the Attorney General's
concurrence in utilizing LEAA to administer the 'MD Technique.
/ This memorandum was generated
after the Director of Central Intelligence had authorized the
declassification of the technique. Prior to the 10 June memo-
randum, at the direction of the Director of Central Intelligence
representatives of the Security Office had demonstrated the
technique to representatives of eight (8) police agencies in
the local metropolitan area. During the 10 June 1970 to December
1971 period, representatives of this Office demonstrated the 'MD
Technique to approximately 35 police departments, three (3)
professional police associations and representatives from 83
other state and local police departments throughout the United
States. (The latter demonstrations took place at a seminar
hosted by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in the state of
Minnesota.) With the exception of demonstrations conducted
within the immediate metropolitan area where our representatives
were known as CIA Security Officers, during all other demon-
strations our representatives were identified as "consultants"
to LEAA. During these presentations, no mention was made of
the Agency.

In March of 1971 a technique known as the Explosive
Residue Detection Techniques (ERDT) was declassified by the
Director of Central Intelligence. In a memorandum to the
Director of Central Intelligence from the Director of Security
and concurred in by the Deputy Director for Support and the
Executive Director-Comptroller, it was recommended that this
technique be disseminated through the LEAA or the LEAA funded
National Bomb Data Center. A memorandum was forwarded to the
Attorney General from the Director of Central Intelligence on
16 March 1971 recommending such dissemination.
In August of 1971, a memorandum was forwarded to the
Director of Central Intelligence from the Acting Director of
Security furnishing information regarding the aforementioned
police agencies briefings on TMD Technique.
On 10 November 1971, a representative of this Office and
two (2) representatives of TSD presented a demonstration of
this Explosive Residue Technique to staff members of LEAA.
In August of 1972, a representative of this Office attended
the annual educational conference of the International Association
for Identification on behalf of the LEAA. This presentation was
presented on behalf of LEAA by the Security representative.
