SUBJECT: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
Mr. Allan Kornblum, Department of Justice, called
me this date to seek my comments on a matter raised with
him by Mr. Mayer, Special Assistant to the Chief Justice.
Chief Justice Burger had talked to some judges he is con-
sidering for appointment to the Foreign Intelligence Sur-
veillance Court. One of those judges has an unmarried
son working in West Germany. Another judge has a son work-
ing in a commercial capacity in Baja California. Mr.
Kornblum asked if those circumstances would likely be
viewed as of security significance from a DCI standpoint.
I replied by summarizing personnel security policy on
close relatives, noting that we were concerned when they
lived in totalitarian countries that were inimical to
the U.S. or had occupational or other ties to foreign
governments. I stated that from his description, I saw
no basis for security concern about the son working in
Baja California, and that I would take the same view with
regard to the son working in West Germany so long as he
was not employed by, or involved with, a foreign govern-
ment or intelligence service. Mr. Kornblum said he'd check
on that aspect, and advise of any applicable circumstances.
