MEMORANDUM FOR: All Community Security Group Personnel
STATINTL FROM: I
Deputy Director for Community Affairs
SUBJECT: Planning for the SECOM Staff
1. Planning, both for the near term and for the
long range, is emphasized in the Intelligence Community.
The Security Committee and its staff need to plan near
and long term requirements to be able to provide the
Community proper security support. SECOM planning should
address both structure and programs, and should be accom-
plished with the flexibility to permit change when and as
Community priorities shift.
2. Near term SECOM planning requirements include:
a. Development and coordination of DCI
sponsored Community security programs of common
concern with an appropriate level of funding.
This should include such matters as a strengthened
Interagency Training Center (ITC), a security
research and development program, and personnel
security and security awareness programs of broad
Community application (e.g., training program for
adjudicators, polygraph training).
b. Upgrading the Community's sole counter-
measures facility training programs reflect
advanced technology in all respects. Broaden
the sco e of Technical countermeasures training to
STATINTL include searches as part of the routine
inspection of facilities. The ITC should also be
considered for a significant role in technical
penetration R&D so that it can plan for and train
Community personnel in carrying out defenses against
evolving capabilities.

c. Revision of the SECOM charter, DCID 1/11,
to reflect changes in policy direction related to
APEX, unauthorized disclosures investigations
requirements, and release of classified material
to foreign governments.
d. Increased emphasis on computer security,
to include system vulnerability to and protection
against technical penetration and and
problems.
e. Continuing support for effective and
practical emergency document destruction. This
should include monitoring and coordinating Community
activities in this field to assist in the prompt
dissemination of new concepts and procedures, and
support for R&D budgets to develop new and effective
systems.
f. Efforts to bring about Community acceptance
of greater uniformity/prescribed standards for
government and contractor application in physical
and personnel security.
3. Long range planning requirements include:
a. Development of proposed uniform investigative
requirements for access to national foreign intel-
ligence information classified at the collateral
level.
b. Development of a Community automated index
of collateral security clearances for intelligence
personnel. This could be a system similar to 4C
for APEX accesses.
4. CSG members are requested to comment on these
planning requirements, and to suggest changes and/or
additions, by 27 June 1980.
