MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: APEX Draft Manual

Counsel, who is the legal advisor to the NFIB Working Group
on Compartmentation, has provided the following suggested
changes or comments on the APEX Security Control System
Manual:
a. Page 1, Line 5 - Should be changed to
read National Foreign Intelligence.
b. Page 8, Line 2 - Should be changed to
read "single system for controlling access,
distribution and protection of selected intelligence".
c. Page 22, Line 6 - Where reference is made
to the U.S. Government he felt a question would
exist over foreign personnel cleared for the
system.
d. Page 23, Line 1 - This line makes reference
to actions occurring within NFIB Agencies. He failed
to note any reference as to what should occur outside
the NFIB Agencies.
e. Page 27, Paragraph a - He felt that the
standards for safe storage of materials expressed

f. Page 31, Paragraph a - He noted that the
description of the Central Access Approval Registry
was unclear as to whether or not foreign personnel
approved for access would be listed. lie suggested
clarifying language be used.
g. Page 39, Line 4 - He drew attention to the
remark that pages would be marked "unclassified" when
appropriate. He pointed out that while DCID 1/19
called for such marking, ISOO Directive No. 1 made
that requirement optional. His personal predilection
would be to reflect the overall classification of the
document.
h. Page 39, Line 8 - "To the extent practicable"
should be deleted, since IS00 Directive No. 1 no
longer allows for any options on portion markings.
i. Page 41, Line 7 - This line should be re-
vised to read, "text, or inside cover of formal
publications:".
j. Page 42, Second Paragraph - Ile suggested that
the paragraph on courier requirements be checked
against ISOO Directive No. 1 for any possible in-
consistencies.
k. Page 58, Line 12 - He suggested that the
text be revised to read "Documents m~ayy" as opposed
to the current version which reads ~'Ifocuments as
required will".
2. Q also suggested that consideration be given to
developing separate sections on Access by the Judiciary and on
Access for Foreign Personnel. STAT
