MEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy Director for Administration
VIA: Director of Security
STATINTL I' ROM
Deputy Director of Security for Community Affairs
;SUBJECT: DDA Role in Community Matters
1. Thank you for the discussion last week. I enjoyed it
and appreciated your observations and candor. You won't forget
to inquire about the possibility of getting my small staff into
more representative space, will you?
2. You asked for my ideas on the role of the DDA under
your Community Pink flat.
. As the Intelligence Agencies recognize and accept
the new Executive Order and the DCI's efforts to meld the
existing loose confederation of independent fiefdoms into a
unified U.S. Intelligence effort, they have looked closer at
the Pink and Blue structure of the CO- The placement of the
Security Committee under the Deputy to the DCI for Support
was perceived as a precursor of efforts to encourage other
elements of the traditional support mechanism to adopt common
standards. That additional moves have not. surfaced does not
seers to have moderated the perception. It seems to members
of the Community a question of "when" not "will" there be more
amalgamation in the Community.
4. I think that willingness to participate in this
centralization is at hand. The way the Community looks more
and more to a Security Committee mechanism for addressing an
increasing number of issues supports this. I don't mean that
there is unanimity on all points, but the fact that almost
100 Security Officers of th< Community are associated in one
way or another makes this a platform broad enough to give
exposure to most items of mutual interest.

5. The SECOM itself mirrors the membership of the NFIB.
SECOM members are the heads of departmental security programs.
They are contributing, active participants.
a. There are five subcommittees:
1. Technical Surveillance Countermeasures,
chaired b CIA. They oversee the Community's
STATINTL raining facility at

3. Computer Security Subcommittee, chaired.
2. The R&D subcommittee, chaired by
Phil Eckman, C/ORD/CIA.
by 1of NSA.
4. Compartmentation - APEX Subcommittee,
chaired by Col. Robert Shiver, AF.
5. Unauthorized Disclosures Investigations
Subcommittee, chaired by I I of NSA's
Office of General Counsel..
b. There are four standing Working Groups:
1. Security Advisory W.G. - USSR, chaired by
Deputy Director of Security, State. Very active-
of continuing interest to the DCI and George
- with problems of a policy nature that
you logically should be continuously aware of
because of potential resource ramifications.
Among these policy issues are:
a. State will need Community member
assistance in many dimensions. We have
already arranged for considerable R&TD
funding, training in security surveillance,
personnel. assistance from DOD, and equipment
from NSA. CIA elements involved include
OTS, ORD, OSO, OS and OTR. Will CIA provide
more support?
b. There is a policy issue under debate
about polygraphing U.S. construction workers.
Viewed. as the camel's nose in the tent, State
and DoD are giving this matter high level

attention to moderate the Presidential
instruction that CIA will polygraph the
construction workers. How far should CIA
push for this program?
1... Security Education W.G. , chaired by NSA.
This group is very active. They have compiled a
listing of all Community materials, aids and
publications on security education. and arranged for
agencies to swap. Their latest. effort was viewed
by the Director and earned his commendation. He
wants it used in the WI-1 and the NSC and modified
for use in industry.
:i. Personnel Security Standards W.Cchaired
until recent retirement by State's senior investigator,
it is now chaired by a member of my office on detail
from the AF.
Current efforts are directed toward
generating recognition in the Community that
there are benefits (security, time, dollars
and manpower) in the adoption by all members
of common standards of investigations and
acceptance of each others clearances. There
are several facets of this matter on which we
are proceeding without the policy guidance your
office could provide. Some of these are:
a. Should the polygraph be
incorporated by all agencies in the
investigative procedure leading to
clearances for access to intelligence?
17. Should there he common investigative
criteria (e.g., verify birth by personal check
by investigators, verify education claims)?
c. Should the adjudication of investigative
data be performed against common criteria? At
.his time there aren't any. Individuals accept-
able to some agencies are not acceptable to others.
d. Should and can. investigative results be
exchanged among Community members? Does this
incl.ude results of NSA-'s and CIA's polygraph
interviow-s'?

SUBJECT: DDA Role in Community Matters
e. Should the Intelligence Community
have a common personal history statement
(P13S)? Every agency now has its own. There
would be advantages from the resource side if
a. common PUS could be adopted. But does CIA
want to modify its form? Would they?
4. Physical Security Standards W.G., chaired
by an FBI officer assigned to my office. This
group is now addressing one of the most contentious
bones in the security bag. There now exists a
set of "minimum" DCI physical security standards.
Each agency can add to them as it sees fit. This
poses no problems for in-house applications. But
in the expanding industrial sphere the add-on approach
poses many resource intensive issues. CIA won't
accept DIA's standards and NSA won't accept CIA's,
etc. Industry has long pleaded for a set of "uniform"
physical. security standards. They don't care how
tough or how expensive. They just wish the Govern-
ment would get its act together so that industry
could build areas just once rather than face expensive
changes each time a different agency enters into a
contractual arrangement. In the absence of basic
policy direction (does the Community leadership
desire "uniform" or "minimum" standards) we continue
to muddle along and cannot seem to arrive at a
unified position.
6. These issues are limited to the security dimension of
support. There are other aspects of support which could profit
from a forum like the Security Committee. I think the rapidly
STATINTL expanding scope of tasks in his liaison assignment
to State may be indicative of what I'm referring to. And in
our discussion you mentioned the Community role of OTR and the
possible benefits from closer Community relationships in
Communications and the Computer field. I agree completely
and would add Logistics.
7. The DCI has already demonstrated his eagerness to
have focal. points in the Community with the establishment of
RM and CT. I think he would welcome and endorse further
initiatives toward unification. The form of that initiative
could be creation of a group of your peers from NFIB agencies.
Certainly, the Security Committee could profit from advice and
guidance such a group could provide. I think that the group

would be able to look at issues and common problems without
the provincialism and "turf" concerns that now direct much of
our efforts and would serve to take some of the weight off
the NFID and the DCI. This DCI `Support Committee could. expand
on the idea of implementing components like the Security Committee
and establish a Communications Committee, Logistics Committee
and a Computer Committee made up of departmental chiefs in
these discipl:ines. This arrangement would effectively give
the DCI a true focal point officer for support matters in the
Commun i.ty .
8. The basic authority for the DCI to approve establi.sh-
ment of such elements exist in E.O. 12036:
Section 1-601(b) "Be the head of the CIA and of such
staff elements as may be required for
discharges of the Director's Intel-
ligence Community responsibilities."; and
Section 1-601(m) "Establish appropriate committees or
other advisory groups to assist in the
execution of the foregoing responsibilities."
The charter of such groups could readily be developed from other
sections of E.O. 12036; specifically:
1.-601 (e) "Promote the development and maintentance
of services of common concern by designated
foreign intelligence organizations on behalf
of the Intelligence Community."
-601(h) "Conduct a program to protect against over--
classification of foreign intelligence
_informa.t. ion. "
1-601(i) "Ensure the establishment by the Intelligence
Community of common security and access
standards for managing and handling foreign
intelligence systems, information and products."
1-604(b) "Providing policy, guidance and technical
assistance to departments and agencies
regarding protection of intelligence
information, including information that
may reveal intelligence sources and methods."

Community and I would. be pleased to address it further if you
are interested. I said I would. send you a copy of the DCI's

oefore NIP let me present an outline- of tentative planning
'regarding, the., DCI'- Security Committee which you have already
determined will operate in the future under the co." nizarzce of
the "Deputy to the DCI for Support." The preliminary think-
ing has been heavily influenred by two underlying convictions:
(1) with the dedication of adequate resources together with
proper conriaitment and application, much more can be accon,-
p1.Ished in security on a Co: ai.rnity level than in the past;
and - (2) while the Agency's Office of Security will contr ibut-e
heavily, in manpower and experrtise, to the effort, the staff
support,. to the Security Committee should: bee ceoncentr?_ted, in
a _ discretely- .separate. entity-. reporting to-the D/DC I/Support
,side of.my: Office.

that' CSG feature (as shown in attached chart) a -three-branch
breakdown with functions as indicated. A total .-staffing
complement-'of_? nine-'-: professional: officers is anticipated, seven
to be drawn from-the- Office: of- Security and two coming from
elsewhere in the--? ComrrRunity' to serve as Branch Chiefs, :i. e'.
,
C~Facilities Seciur 'E-y -B arch and C/Personnel and Industrial
Security Branch. (The two Branch Chiefs from the Community
should be at least GS-15 level officers or 0-6.) It is
assumed these two posts would be filled by cal.liri, for
nominations from the other Community agencies. -

3. ~Che role of the Director of Socurity, CIA, is
recognized as vital in the overall plait. He. would act as
Chairman of the Security Committee. In his absence, the
SECON meetings would be run by a Vice Chairman - the senior
ranking officer on the Committee. The Director of Security
will draw his staff support from the CSG to which he in turn
will provide technical guidance and professional advice.
Under this concept of a revitalized Security Committee, the
participating agencies will be expected to name their most
senior security officers their members. These officers will
be expected to actively participate in SECOM meetings and
activities.
