work load which is not readily reflected in statistics in being imvosed
en the technical Security functien, due both to an increasiag nuster of
builcinee and an increasing awareness within We *Laney of the possibilities
of technical penetration. The technical security tanction has increased -
about 315.,i in the past year. The number or special investigation* on asses
such in lost doeements, thefts, ptisiihle compromises, ioproper tranamissieees
etc., have increased by 65 cases over the pest year.

due to current ceilines?*
16. th the facts in mind or increased backlogs presented in re-
ere.mse to question Per an a welifieetien to the assumption that present
allocatioes permit the eccompliehment er essential taeks, it must e seid_
that in eddition to the inabilit7. of keepine security investieetions on *
relatively current banis, there are other desirable tasks whiehlmehave
heap '...nahle to undertake becuuee.of insufficient manpower., Principal
among these is the periodic re-investigation of pereonnel. Even though
this function ie a vital recot in the program of insuring that the re-
tention in employmont of personnel is clearly consistent with the interests
of thc national soc,;.:rity, and as sodi In an impliee regpArecent of kescutive
C:Tder 10450 and will be; requirevent of WI= regulations, a provoan of
routine periodic inveetigatiena or all pereennel has never been within the
capatilities of this talcs because of manpower llmitationa. .it should
also Le:noted in this connection that the Doolittle and tlark eammitteee
both made firm moommendatieris that periodic re-investigation of personnel:
should be instituted.
17. On the physical-security sides wo have teen unahlevdee to lack
of pervonnel, to maintain as vuoh li,ieon as would be desirable with other
agencies in the vatter of curront developments in technical cecerity
equipment 'and techniques. We have not been able to Peke Obreical securifq
