MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Briefcase Inspections
1. I've just been informed that there's a ruling that the
guards at our entrances are not allowed to ask our employees coming
and going to open their briefcases. I'd like to know if this is
the case, and if so why. It seems to me that that makes it very
easy for an employee who wants to take classified material in or out
of the building to know when there is a surprise inspection going on
and when there is not.
2. I further understand that when the Office of Security
inspectors are down there, they are not allowed to open packages
marked "personal." If that's the case, I'd like to understand why
and whether this is a way employees may circumvent our regulations.
