MEfvIORANDUM FOR NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE BOARD
SUBJECT: Expiration of the DCI's Committee on Compartmentation
1. Effective 24 June 1981, is designated
as Special Assistant to the DCI for ompar en ation and
Committee on Co artmentation (COCOMP) vice
reassigned.
2. I have instructedl as follows: The Committee
on Compartmentation, et al., are to be terminated by 31 July 1981. Work
in progress under the aegis of the committee is to be completed if
possible. That which cannot be completed by 31 July and that which is
ongoing will be formally transferred to appropriate organizations:
-- Completion of the Central Access Registry (4C) as a
service of common concern will be under the cognizance of
the CIA Deputy Director for Administration and the CIA
Director of Security.
-- Other facets of the COCOMP effort that require work
beyond 31 July will be transferred to the relevant
continuing DCI Committee(s).
-- Chairman, Security Committee, will assume responsibility
for records of the discontinued organizations, which will
be retired to the CIA Records Center.
3. The expiration of COCOMP is a milestone in the continuing
community effort to rationalize protection for, and effective use of,
Sensitive Compartmented Information. The past three years or more have
involved much work by a significant number of people throughout the
community. Many views and interests have been expressed, weighed and

further development of SCI policy and procedures which should endure for
years to come. I extend my appreciation and thanks to all who partici-
