MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Information Processing Board
SUBJECT : Vulnerability of CIA Computer Centers to
Fire and Water Damage
REFERENCE : Your memo to DD/S IPC dtd 4 Aug 71,
same subject (PPB 71-1251)
1. The Office of Security has conducted a survey of the NPIC, ISD,
CRS, and OCS computer centers to determine their vulnerability to fire
and water damage.' The results of this survey are attached.
2. My first reaction in reading the report was that it would be totally
impractical to expect all of the deficiencies noted to be corrected. The
authors acknowledge this but believe their total findings should be recorded
for guidance in working toward the reduction of hazards. I believe this is
understood by the components concerned and I understand that copies of
pertinent portions of the report have been sent directly to them. In some
cases corrective action has already been started. Mr. Wattles has asked
the Offices of Logistics and Security how the conditions reported in the survey
were allowed to develop but we have decided to forward the report without
awaiting the answer to that question.
3. The Office of Security expresses its appreciation for the cooperation
and assistance they received from the components involved during the course
of the survey.
