There is attached hereto a TOP SECRET paper dated !c Sep 1 con-
cerning a proposed reorganization of the responsibilities of . This 25X1A2d1
program is dying a slow death through inability to effectively get t pro-
gram under way. The only additional security factor affecting I&SO under
the table of responsibilities is Item 4, namely, security en route of trainees
from to United .Stated and return.
This matter was discussed with OPC.
OPC now has on their roles one security escort officer assigned to this duty.
His responsibilities have been limited and he has been actively utilized only
a short period during his employment. OPC agreed that they would keep this
escort officer on their roles, would detail him to I&SO where we would keep
him busy and when any escort duties were required, I&SO would return him to
OPO for the job in question. His escort duties and responsibilities would be
outlined to him in such instances by the Special Task Group of OPC. GPO also
has on an intermittent contract basis three other individuals who can be
utilized when the occasion demands for escort duties so that if the services
of more than one man are required;, these three individuals can be used and
ISO will not be called upon to furnish additional personnel.
I signed this paper as presented, although the paper does not spell out
the above conditions and circumstances. however? our understanding adequately
protects I--SO from being required to furnish additional personnel.
. This paper is now being presented to AD/PC for approval.

Indigenous Training Program
Pursuant to your request, the proposal contained in paragraph 2
of attachment, has been reviewed by Chief, SSD, Chief, Physical Security
Branch and the undersigned. It is our unanimous opinion that the
security of trainees to and from the training area should rest with
the Project Officer rather than I&SO, for the following reasons:
_A' A
1. I&SO would not be able to furnish the clos
e
supervision of such an activity, without the assignment
of personnel to the actual operation of transporting the
trainees. It is not believed that I&SO has personnel
available for such assignment at this time, and it is
not considered feasible for I&SO to assume the responsi-
bility for personnel assigned from another office for
this purpose.
2. It is not believed to be consistent with good
management practices for this office to accept the
security responsibility of a single phase of the project,
which is primarily operational in nature. On the con-
trary, If should have overall security responsibility
for the entire operation (which it appears to have from
Enclosure 2) and furnish security guidance on all phases
of the project. The Physical Security Office and this
Office are prepared to give such guidance as falls
within the functions of the respective offices.
