this proposal. He suggested that appropriately addressed
letters be prepared for his signature commending this-
security presentation to recipients, mentioning that
it offers sound security advice for senior assistants,
encouraging recipient to demonstrate to their staff high
level interest in security, mentioning that the Director
had taken time to review it and proposing that they take
time to do the same. The letter should include the
observation that while we seek Congressional support through
legislation to protect our nations secrets we must help on
our own. It is not the clerk and secretary who leak but
people with access at higher levels; therefore, we ask
that addressees require their EP level staff to schedule
time to hear this presentation.

professionals who could supplement the presentations
security message and answer audience questions.
