Mr. Moroncy:
1. Attached for your records is a copy of the 31 March
1978 memorandum for NFIB from its Chairman on establishment of
the DCI Security Committee under R. W. Gambino and the estab-
lishment of the Community Security Group.
2. Obviously certain changes have taken place in the
past two years which modify some terms of this memorandum:
The current DDA has delegated his role relative
to SECOM to U/Security, CIA.
While the CSG supposedly subsumed the compart-
mentation security policy responsibilities
exercised by the Special Security Center, in
fact, the creation of a Special. Assistant to
the DCI for Compartmentation, the development
of APEX, establishment of an APEX Steering
Group with solid charter, and formation of the
APEX Control Staff render most of this policy
function responsibilities of the SSC moot.
- R. W. Gambino resigned. The Acting Director of
Security has assumed the chair of the Security
Committee.
CSG's temporary location in Room 3E-05, CIA
Headquarters building continues but space has
also been provided in 3D-39.
NEIB agencies responded to the Chairman's
invitation to fill some of the positions in
the CSG on a rotational, reimbursable basis.
A senior agent from the FBI, Mr. William Johnson,
and Col. Russel Newman from the Air Force, were
selected and currently on assignment with the

CSG. Mr. Johnson handles matters related to
physical security and Col. Newman deals with
some aspects of personnel security. In addition,
Tas contracted to assist as
my principal staff officer in connection with
the mechanics of SECOM management and in prep-
aration of some policy papers and staff studies.
To round out the membership of the CSG, I have
I Irom CIA assisting Col. Newman.
There are currently two vacant positions
occupied until recently by and. STATINTL
They were assigned to
address a ma. ers of compartmentation as
associated with COMIREX, The SIGINT Committee
and development of APEX. I has TATINTL
recently been designated by the OS Career Boar c
to fill position.
The Director of Security, with approval of the
DDA, established the position of Deputy Director
for Community Affairs (DD/CA) to which I was
appointed. As such I have been made a member
of the OS management staff, a member of the
GS-14/15 Panel, and a member of the OS Career
Board. These duties are in addition to those
of Chief, Community Security Group and Executive
Secretary of the DCI Security Committee.
As you are aware, the Director of Security
recently relocated the Special Security Center
and its Compartmented Information Branch under
the DD/CA.
3. Recent discussion with the Acting Director of
Security lead me to believe there are no further changes in
this regard planned. The matter will be reviewed with the
appointee selected as the new Director of Security and you
will be informed accordingly should. he elect to have a
different line-up than now exists.
L1. This information and material is provided for your
information and to allow you to respond. to questions by your
personnel on the Charter and make-up of the CSG.
