ONGOING ACTIVITIES
The Council met on 23 March 1977 and received a briefing on U.S.
Satellite C3 Systems. The objective was to acquaint the Council with
our systems' characteristics and capabilities to compare it with the
Soviet systems, about which they were briefed previously. In addition,
the Council approved the formation of an Electro-Optics Technology
Subcommittee; reached general agreement that the Council would monitor
National/Tactical interface issues and progress; asked for a report on
results of the IHC study on intelligence communications priorities no
later than July; and discussed further the implementation of recom-
mendations of the Analytical Terminals Working Group. More Council
deliberation is needed on the latter item.
The annual update of the Council's Planning Document has been
further delayed due to higher priority work in the print shop. Estimated
publication date is now 15 April 1977.

I. 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

DCI Security Committee
MONTHLY 11EPOIZT
March 1977
I. 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.

Detailed questions on ADP and Telecommunications
(ADP-T) plans, programs and projects have been levied on
individual Program Managers by the Senate Select Committee's
Budget Authorization Subcommittee. 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)

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,

their ad hoc participation in response to a common crisis
situation . 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

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

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

6. 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. (U) ? ,,o
