SUBJECT: Office of Security Annual Statistical Report
for 1956
1. Commencing with the year 1956, we shall submit annually
a report of statistics reflecting a few selected activities of the Office
of Security which lend themselves particularly to statistical and
graphical presentation. The subjects selected are those which portray
accomplishments in representative functions of the office, and which,
as time passes, will permit comparison with the work loads and accom-
plishments of previous years.
2. The attached tables and charts have been compiled from the
monthly reports which are submitted to you. The charts have been pre-
pared to allow for the presentation of continuing statistics for comparative
purposes in succeeding years. I believe they will be found to be informa-
tive and increasingly valuable as time goes on.
Table A
and
Chart #1
OVERT AND SEMI COVERT CASES
The table shows receipts, approvals, disapprovals
and total number of cases processed for Applicant
Type TIO Staff and other TIO Full Field Investigation
cases, and the total receipts and total processing of
all Overt and Semi Covert cases.
The total of 12,443 Overt and Semi Covert cases pro-
cessed is shown in chart form with the 4,803 T/0
Staff Applicant cases indicated separately.

Approved For Release 1999/09/20 : CIA-RDP78-04007A001200030004-2
shown under the two types of actions, namely Inves-
tigations and Name Checks. The total of 4, 876 Name
Checks shown are only those which were made inde-
pendently of a field investigation. As you know, all
field investigations include name checks.
Table C
and TIME EA.CTORS IN PROCESSING OVERT AND SElvil
Chart 3 COVERT CASES
This table and chart reflect the mean average time in
days which was taken to process cases through this
office. The statistics show the average total time to
have been 87 days, made up of 68 days in Investigation
and 19 days in Appraisal. These statistics are con-
fined to regular Applicants, Consultants and Military
Assignee cases received from the Office of Personnel
during the year. Cases of a secondary priority type
and those which would distort the average by short
processing time are not included.
Table D
and COVERT CASES AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES
Chart #4

Attachments
The various actions in this field are not similar enough
to consolidate them into one total, except for those
which apply to the control and guidance of employees
wishing to engage in outside activities. The table pre-
sents in a few major categories the principal actions
of support and service of overt activities and the number
of approved and disapproved requests of employees to
engage in outside activities. These latter activities
encompass requests for approval of outside instruction,
private travel, publications, etc., and are consolidated
in the chart to show a total of 4,480 such requests
processed.
PHYSICAL SECURITY ACTIVITIES
A selected number of the major activities of the
Physical Security Division are itemized in this table.
The high incidence of security violations at Headquarters
is of great concern to me. The total number of 383
open sale violations and 324 lost documents are shown
on the chart.
ACCIDENT STATISTICS
The Agency safety record for the year is reflected by
this chart and table. The Severity Rate was excellent;
the Frequency Rate was greater than that of the National
Safety Council but only half that of the Government in
General.
