MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Security Management Staff, DDS&T
FROM: D/Chief, Admin Staff, FBIS
SUBJECT: Security Enhancement of FBIS Bureaus
1. The 1983 Program Call contains suggested subjects for theme
package treatment. One such subject is the strengthening of the
security environment of Agency installations and field activities
overseas.
2. FBIS currently has 13 bureaus and 2 units overseas. A
few bureaus are located within the U.S. Embassy proper or within
the U.S. Embassy compound in their own building. The remaining
bureaus are situated in commercial office buildings or private
residences. Attached are copies of cables received from 12 bureau,
chiefs detailing those security measures that would improve their
bureau's security. We feel that Amman and Tel Aviv in particular
have suggestions that should be given consideration when funding
is made available.
3. In the past, FBIS bureaus were often overlooked when
overseas security measures were instituted or surveys conducted.
In recent years, substantial improvements have been made in scheduling
annual, or near-annual, security surveys of FBIS bureaus. As a result,
the bureaus, acting on recommendations by security survey teams,
have already made improvements in their security posture.
