SUBJECT: Accreditation of Vault at Vice President's
Residence, Pocantico Hills, New York
At the DDCI's request, on 9 December I phoned
Mr. Peter Wallison, Counsel to the Vice President,
and read to him a draft memorandum on the above
subject, dated 8 December from
STAT
Acting Director of Security, to Mr. Ralph E. Martin,
Staff Security Officer, Office of the Vice President
(attached). Mr. Wallison requested that the last
sentence be deleted. I admitted that the sentence did
not seem relevant to accreditation of the vault and
he agreed. that after 20 January 1977 the Vice
President's retention of any documents would have
to be coordinated with the Archivist of the United
States. A revised memorandum was delivered to
Mr. Martin on 9 December (attached).
Assistant to the Deputy Director
