Concerning the Subcommittee's efforts to develop the computer security
policy paper, the NSA member asked whether research and development
components of the community had been solicited for input.
replied that no coordination of the paper had been specifically directed to
our R&D elements, since the exercise primarily concerned the develop-
ment of a policy paper. At the same time, during the coordination cycle,
it is expected that R &D elements will be solicited for comment along with
other components of participating agencies.

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures Subcommittee

organized committee which produced valuable. material for the intelligence
community, Currently in a holding pattern, the Chairman anticipates
resumption of its activities. The TSCS will require a Chairman and
Secretary at the earliest possible time, A meeting of current members
of the Subcommittee will be held on 13 September. i11
attend and chair this meeting which is viewed primarily as an organi-
zational get-together. The membership may change and the Chairman
of the Security Committee will welcome suggestions from the members.
Computer Security Subcommittee

constituted for the present, has informed that he will
be unable to continue as Chairman due to reassignment to other duties
within CIA.
Compartmentation Subcommittee
The Chairman mentioned that this is a new Subcommittee to be
formed under the auspices of the Security Committee. The Chairman
and Secretary will require in-depth knowledge of compartmentation.

coordination throughout elements of the intelligence community and
primarily with other committees of the Board concerned with
compartmentation.
The Navy member said that he endorsed the Chairman's concern
with a need for knowledgeable people in the compartmented area. He
noted that national compartmented projects subject to Navy management
had risen from 14 in 1971 to 31 in 1974. Many other projects are of
interest at different levels to other committees of the USIB or to
National Authorities. In 'the interest of reflecting a community
stature, the Navy 'member submitted a Navy candidate for Chairman
of this Subcommittee.
The Navy member also mentioned that he would envison a
State Department representative as appropriate for Chairman of the

the Navy member proposed that consideration be given to the
i:ormation of a fourth Subcommittee of the Security Committee %o be
concerned with Research and Development in the security field. The
Navy member opined that CIA might properly chair and staff this
fourth Subcommittee.
The Chairman expressed appreciation to the members for their
-.-iewpoints and requested that designees for the Subcommittee chairmen
be submitted as soon as possible. The Chairman also said that in view
of the new charter he would like each USIB Principal to designate his
member to the Committee itself.
New Business
The Chairman advised the members that the Committee should be
alert to innovative concepts and activities to further security goals. The
Committee should not wait for USIB tasking but should initiate programs.
I$'n this regard the Chairman proposed the idea of preparing a series of US
defector cases analyzed to highlight detectable traits, postures or
c:ii cumstances.
The members responded favorably to this idea and it was agreed
that members would collect relevant materials and prepare first drafts
to be submitted to the Security Committee staff. The CIA member
mentioned that CIA had a fair amount of material in this line that could
?)e provided. He also mentioned that some previous actions by the
security Committee in connection with defectors or recruited personnel
r:ould serve as source data fcr the kind of treatment the Chairman had
in mind. The FBI member mentioned that the Bureau had done a similar
study some time ago and might now have relevant material. The
Secretary to the Committee mentioned that Army (ACSI) had recently
put out some material on defectors or recruited personnel that may be
1)f value. The Army member was requested to review the possibility
bf recovering this material and submitting it to the, Committee. The
NSA member mentioned that the NSA CI people might also be willing
and able to contribute some interesting data.
The Chairman thanked the members for their interest and
willingness to participate in this activity. All contributions to this
study should be carefully reviewed for applicability by the members
and then forwarded to the Security Committee staff for consideration.
