SUBJECT: Contracts for APEX Implementation
1. Action Requested: Your approval. to contract for a
pilot stu y an~d_report to assist in the implementation of
the APEX Special Access Control System within the Central
Intelligence Agency.
2. Background: As the implementation of the Presidentially
approved APEX System progresses, attention has been directed
to the issue of determination of access. There must be an
effort to comply with the requirements of E.O. 12065 to keep
numbers small. Encouragement and assistance should. be
available to senior management to assess needs of personnel
for access. Action by CIA needs to be visible to APEX partici-
pating departments and agencies to encourage critical reviews
of their personnel's need for access.
3. Proposal: To satisfy these goals, it is proposed
that an o leb` ctive study/survey of actual distribution and
dissemination of SCI material in CIA be conducted. under a
fee for task contract to produce a report showing those
members of the population who receive access as compared to
those with access approvals for other reasons as may be
reflected on the master record of all holders. This report
will be a factual picture of CIA's dissemination and internal
use of SCI material and will be provided to senior managers
for their assistance in determining need-to-know for access
to APEX material.

Employees with detailed knowledge of CIA's SCI
programs were sought in the Agency to perform this task
without success. The need for objectivity indicated the
use of personnel outside the components being looked at.
The Office of Security was approached but was unable to
provide experienced officers for this additional APEX
implementation task in view of recent high numbers of
retirements and priority commitments in other areas.
4. Recommendation: It is recommended that you approve
the use of two mice of Security retirees with unique
experience and broad detailed knowledge of current SCI
programs as independent contractors for a fee of
each for a period of 60 working days to perform this task.
The task should begin as soon as possible, no later than
24 March 1980 and be completed no later than 24 June 1980.
The contracted task would be performed for the Special
Assistant to the DCI for Compartmentation.
