MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Science and Technology)
ATTENTION:
SUBJECT: Security Violation, 27 September 1963,
Exposed Classified Material,-
(Third Security Violation)
1. This memorandum is in response to the request of your off.-, ce the admin-
istrative action to be taken in this case.
2. 1 recommend that the mandatory penalty for this third security violation be
imposed upon . I consider that my own laxity in establishing security
procedures suitable to a recent increase in the size of my office is an extenuating
factor. I suggest that this memorandum be included in her file.
3. My examination of the situation that pertained leads me to this conclusion.
I have ascertained that the security check sheet on the two safes which are the last
closed in this office show that on 27 September signed Safe 5043 at 5:15
pm and signed Safe 5692 at 5:55 pm. I have failed thus far to impose
sin the office a procedure for an caves-a11 security check with records because until
recently the office has consisted of one other secretary, and myself.
We now have a total of six- and two secretaries having been added.
With an office of such small size in t e past it did not seem to be necessary to
have an officer assigned to securit i check. I feel that had the security check
sheet procedure been in effect, would either have discovered the
violation or been responsible for not having detected it.
4. 1 have taken the following administrative actions within this office to mini-
mize the possibility of any future security violation:
a. In addition to regular security practices, I have instructed that
the secretaries Is file trays on the desks will contain no books, envelopes,
nor papers of any sort when the secretaries leave.
b. I have instructed that the last person to leave the office is
responsible for signing the security check sheet. Generall, although
there have been and will be exceptions, either or I is the
last person to leave the office.
