DCI SECURITY COMMITTEE
MONTHLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
FEBRUARY 1980
1. The Committee held a special meeting to discuss
security authorities included in the proposed National
Intelligence Act of 1980, introduced in the Senate as
S.2284. The consensus of those in attendance was that the
Bill was inadequate in specifying security authority for
the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and uneven in
its comparative treatment of such authorities between
the DNI and the Director, National Security Agency.
There was general. agreement to endorse suggested changes
to strengthen the DNI's authority to protect intelligence
sources, methods, procedures and product, so as to be
more compatible with Executive Orders 12035 and 12065
and with the January 1980 Presidential Directive on the
APEX Special Access Control System. s, changes were
communicated to counsel for the DCI.
2. The Committee's Security Awareness Working Group
gave final approval to a slide-tape security orientation
for senior officials. This presentation was then shown
to Security Committee members, who endorsed it for review
by the DCI. Working Group members received for review a
DIA-produced videotape film providing a,n ative
explanation of the Espionage Statutes. u
3. The Committee Chairman briefed the NSC Special
Coordination Committee's Counterintelligence Working
Group (CIWG) on differences in Government personnel
security investigative and clearance standards, discussed
their counterintelligence implications, and assessed
prospects for resolving problems concerning them. The
briefing was designed to focus senior level attention
on the personnel security aspects of broad dissemination

of formerly compartmented information released at the
collateral level as a result of the APEX system.
Following the briefing, the CIWG tasked the Committee
staff to prepare for CIWG consideration a study with
recommendations. This is to address differing personnel
security clearance/investigative standards from a
Government-wide standpoint and to recommend national
standards. II
4. In connection with the Committee's ongoing
efforts to enhance the security of the new U.S. Embassy
being constructed in Moscow, the CIA member briefed the
SCC on possible polygraph examinations of U.S. personnel
who would be performing key security tasks or constructing
sensitive embassy areas. The proposed polygraph examinations
would focus only on counterintelligence issues, and would
be quite similar to the reinvestigation examinations which
have met wit,hgh subject acceptance among CIA and industry
personnel. lI
