1. On 24 October 1974 during the DD/PTOS 4:30 staff
meeting, Mr. of Policy and Plans Group (PPG)
advised those assembled of the requirement to respond to
the first two Milestones of cited Objective. The two
Milestones are, according to the Action Plan, noted for
completion for the end of October 1974. In view of the
lack of full understanding of the requirement, Mr. STATINTL
suggested that Mr. consult with each of the ranc
Chiefs in order to insure clarity and advise them on pre-
paring their lists of functions, activities and procedures.
2. In accordance with the foregoing, Mr. met STATINTL
with the Deputy Chief, Physical Security Division an t e
Chiefs of OSB, DSB and Safety Branch. Mr. subse- STATINTL
STATINTL quently met with Mr. C/HSB, on t e afternoon of
31 October 1974. There.was little or no clarity-forthcoming
as a result of the meetings, and each Branch Chief was more
or less.left to his own devices to identify functions as
opposed to activities and procedures.
3. It was also agreed that because of the extremely
short deadline for responses, i.e., 1 November, the materials
to be delivered to PPG on that date would constitute a first
very "raw" draft of the responses to Milestone #1.
4. On the afternoon of 1 November 1974, the undersigned
delivered the efforts of the four Branches directly to PPG.
At that time it was reiterated that the materials constituted
the"very first "raw" cut at.the requirement. No formal trans-
mission document was prepared to accompany the submission.
5. On the afternoon of 4 Novembe.r,.the undersigned con-
STATINTL tacted Mr. telephonically in order to gain his
impressions o t e e orts submitted on 1 November. He indi-
cated that his quick review led him to believe that the

functions and activities as listed appeared to be very much
on target.in terms of the requirement. He further stated
that he wanted to reserve further comment until he had
gathered the submissions from all Office of Security ele-
ments, which would enable him to assess in his mind the
degree of detail which individual functions, activities
and procedures should encompass, versus the broader or
more generalized approach.
6. At the conclusion of the conversation, it was
agreed that Physical Security Division had, for the moment,
and until further notice from Mr. fulfilled its
requirement under the first Milestone of subject Objective.

attention to Presidential intelligence requirements, to higher
ranking targets, and to technical operations.
During his keynote remarks the Director of Security called
attention to two FY 1975 DD/M$S level objectives relating to
proposed policy review activities:
h
high' of updated re u ements all Office of
Security func ions, activities, and
organizational structures and responsibilities
to insure their continuing effectiveness, 7.
economy, and efficiency..
In addressing our FY 1975 objectives it was emphasized that the
Office must be extremely responsive to anything of interest to
the Deputy Director or Associate Deputy Director for Management
and Services. We must avoid begetting the question: "Why
wasn't it here yesterday?" Functional Deputy Directors of
Security must insure that appropriate follow-up action is
pursued on action item agreements. Further all managers in
the Office should be assessing their own operations in a
manner similar to what the Chief, Branch has
already done with respect to our polygraph program.
ACTION ITEM Each division level manager
will conduct a review and assessment of the
operations within his purview and report
through channels on this review, making
Complete by 31 March 1975 a review of all Agency
security policy to assure that its foundation is
accurate, valid up to date, and practical, and
make recommendations for appropriate changes.

appropriate recommendations to the Director
of Security. These reports will serve as a
basis for discussion between the Director/
Deputy Director of Security and the managers
concerned; these meetings are expected to
beget decisions for changes in our operations.
It was pointed out that these program reviews should address the
following questions: What were the most important accomplish-
ments or activities of the past six months? What did we fail
to do? What should we do in the future that we haven't done in
the past?
During these remarks a question was raised concerning re-
sponsiveness to.the Directorate management. The question related
to the need to report immediately on a given action request and
pondered whether it was better to delay a response an hour or
a day for more or better information on the request. In re-
sponding the Director of Security emphasized the need to get
an answer back as soon as possible; this is true even if it
were only a partial response or a. mere statement that we are
working towards an answer.
REVIEW OF HEADQUARTERS REGULATIONS:
The agenda had anticipated a review of all Headquarters
Regulations relating to security responsibilities and activities
