NEW ACTIVITIES (a) Actions Resulting from Key Intelligence Questions In a further action to clarify the relationship between KIQ's and DCID 1/2 priorities for the DCI, OPP traced the development of a KIQ through the formulation of a strategy report and the ensuing col- lection tasking. The example used in this instance was KIQ No. 2, the strategy report developed in response to this KIQ and an extract from the National SIGINT Requirements List depicting the DCID 1 ri ti zati on of requirements levied on NSA for collection. OPP/PPDJ 2 pri-o~ (b) Input to Nuclear Proliferation Report to OMB In response to a request from OPEI for information relating to national priorities associated with nuclear proliferation, OPP provided a synopsis of those DCID 1/2 topics, and their associated priorities, which can be reasonably related to this topic. This input was base the candidate and non-U.S. supplier countries listed in the KIQ Strategy Report. This action, together with total update of DCID 1/2 priorities, has additionally served to illuminate er needed refine- ments in the DCID topical structure. OPP/PPD Ii. COMPLETED ACTIVITIES None III.

Highlights a. The Compartmentation Subcommittee completed its work on a proposed DCID entitled "Compartmentation. " It contains ;a positive statement of compartmentation policy and limits its appli- cation to achieve optimum use of intelligence products. The proposal also includes guidance for decompartmentation of all information which does not reveal such sensitive details. There are Community objections concerning the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee in the matters of compartmentation as well as to the substance of the draft DCID itself. This DCID will be discussed at the April Security Committee meeting after comments are received from the SIGINT Committee and COMIREX. b. The study on compartmentation and secrecy which was forwarded to the D/DCI/IC for comments has now been returned. Steps are now being taken to initiate implementation procedures where possible. c. A review of classification and compartmentation was prepared for DCI use in a future meeting with Vice President Mondale. Contributions were received from ?)IA, Department of State and the DDO/CIA. d. Three papers have been prepared for use in the PRM-11 study. These papers have dealt with the measures available to the DCI for the protection of sources and methods, his role as the protector of sources and methods and a description of the relationship between compartmentation and dissemination II. Work in Progress a. The Security Awareness Working Group Is currently developing an outline of security programs utilized in the Intelligence Community for processing new employees, on-board employees and terminations.

This reemphasizes the need for comprehensive community-wide planning previously called for by the PRC(I) and OMB and forecast in the DCI's Perspectives. The IHC will prepare a report to the PRC(T) -- due in June 1977 -- to recommend short and longer-range steps for top management to adopt in order to lead the Community toward the implementation of comprehensive community-wide ADP-T capabilities. (11) WORK I N PROGRESS 25X1 25X1 1. Imagery Transmission System - Washington ITS-W . The :: ~Ocations designated to receive equipment in the ITS-W initial network have all formally confirmed their desire to participate. These locations are: NPIC at White ouse Situation Room; State Department; Pentagon (NMIC/NMCC); CIA Headquarters; NOSIC Suitland; , and NSA, Ft. Meade. 0 stations are being procured, and CIA and DIA hay requested that they be assigned stations with both of these sets of equipment to be located at This will have the effect of providing three stations in that building, to interconnect three large distinct groups of imagery interpreters (NPIC, DIA, CIA)(separate substantive analyst population man IHC originally recommended three stations at but until recently, it had been impossible for fiscal reasons to ensure that a total of sets of equipment could be procured. This issue is likely to be resolved in the near future. IOC of the entire initial system is anticipated near the end of calendar year 1977. 2. Watch Office Chiefs Conference 28-29 Aril 1977. Arrangements have been mad a with the Federal Preparedness Agency (FPA) for the fourth meeting in a continuing series of conferences of Intelligence and Operations Watrh Cpntpr Chiefs, Virginia, on z- AP-111 In addition to attendance by representatives from the military operations, intelligence, and foreign affairs communities, a small representative group from civil departments and agencies will also attend.

In addition to discussion sessions on the theme of the conference, participants will receive a briefing on the IPA facility and the methods for reconstitution of the government in the event of an emergency. (C) 3. Collaboration with STIC on A raisal of Exploitation of Soviet f,T Literature. The fllC has joined the I' IC in an Mort ort to review procedures and methods used by the Intelli- gence Community to exploit Soviet scientific and technical information available through open sources. Methods of collection, distribution, indexing and retrieval of Soviet scientific material will be reviewed both within the Intelligence Community and other governmental organizations, as well as contractor and commercial sources. The object is to determine whether more intelligence can be obtained from open source foreign literature through better methods of collecting and organizing the data extracted in machinable form. It is anticipated that conclusions drawn from this sample review will be applicable to other open source literature intelligence (LITINT). (U) 4. CONTEXT Data Terminals. For the past several months, under contract with NSA, has worked on the problem of securing all of the CONTEXT terminal equipment against electronic radiation and emanations (TEMPEST) limits, as required by national security regulations. Based on tolerance limits specified by DIA, State, and CIA, the has succeeded in TEMPEST-proofing the CONTEXT terminal to the Based on these successful tests, it will now be possible to proceed with the installation of the secured units in the Pentagon, State Department, and at Once these installations are made and tests accomplished, NbA will replace the Ft. Meade and CIA Langley present units with the TEMPEST-proofed equip- ment. (C) 5. CONTEXT Voice System. Problems have been encountered over the past few weeks with the addition to the network of a CONTEXT secure dedicated voice unit at The CIA Office of Communications (OC) has been working diligently to trace and correct the problems. They have also kept the NSA involved and informed as required. OC agrees that work on this phase of CONTEXT may require several weeks in order to perform the services and testing needed to assure that all stations will operate in a reliable manner.

II-IC Telecommunications Working Group. The IIIC activity to coordinate the Community in developing a prioritized analysis of intelligence user requirements for satellite communications is well underway, as is a companion study by the Defense Telecommunications, Command and Control (D'I'ACCS) organization to examine alternative communications capabilities. IHC and DTACCS representatives are working in close coordination. A status report was provided for the IR$D Council in February and again in March 197 7 , Other reports are planned for May to the WWMCCS Council and the PRC(I). A further report to the IR&D Council is due in July. Intelligence agency-validated crisis communications requirements are due in from the four principal II-IC sub-working groups in April, and our current monitoring of their progress indicates that the schedule should be met. These inputs from the major system program managers will then be reviewed by representatives of the intelligence producing community. (S) 7. Community ADP and Telecommunications Planning. The Congress, the OMB, and the PRC(I) have all ma a known their deep concern about the current and future status of ADP and Telecommunica- tions (ADP-T) throughout the Intelligence Community. During March, a long and detailed series of questions has been addressed to Intelligence Program Managers by the staff of the Budget Authorizations Subcommittee of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. This source has also directed the following question to the D/DCI/IC (ltr dtd 29 March 1977) : "What are the programs and issues to be addressed in FY 1978-79 by the Information Handling Committee?" An 18 January 1977 letter from the Director OMB advised that O4B would direct particular emphasis this year to the following: "The Intelligence Community should develop a coordinated approach to the development of computerized data bases that maximizes the rapid and free flow of information vital to the quality and timeliness of the intelligence product and minimizes the dupli- cation in both data files and ADP equipment." During the past month, the IHC Staff has been active in drafting a tentative program outline to address these large issues. A full meeting of the IHC has been set for 6 April to work out task assignments and an action program. A summary appraisal of this problem has been submitted for inclusion in the NSC-directed PRM-11 study of Intelligence Structure and Missions. Status reports on this issue are to be provided to the PRC(I) in May and June.
