Annual Report to Congress Submission
1. MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN INTELLIGENCE MANAGEMENT
a. SAFE
The SAFE system, being designed to provide interactive
data processing and communication tools in support of CIA
and DIA Intelligence analysts, and being developed on a
design-to-cost basis, is scheduled for initial operation
early in k'Y 1983. During FY 1980, both the Systems
Requirements Review and System Design Review were completed.
The government's formal review and approval of these major
activities ensured that development of the SAFE System would
proceed on schedule. Also, the vendor was selected through
competitive procurement. Appropriate portions of the SAFE.
design are now being modified to reflect specific hardware
and software decisions. (U)
Renovation of the CIA SAFE Computer Center began in
September 1980 as did installation of the wideband bus
communications system, both in the CIA Headquarters
Building. The SAFE Operational Procedures Development
Laboratory.was established to test analyst reactions
to SAFE-like capabilities. Analysts from both Agencies
participated in experiments to determine human factor
considerations and to examine operational procedures
that are applicable to the SAFE design. (U)

b. APEX
The increasing complexities and challenges in the
intelligence security field are not unique to the CIA.
Several agencies face common personnel security processing
problems, physical security challenges, and computer security
concerns,

Communications
25X1
In addition to normal ongoing activities, the Office
provided extensive communications support during crises and
Training
The Office of Training and Education (OTE) developed a
unique and demanding course of instruction designed for
middle-level officers who have the potential to advance
to senior ranks of the Agency. The program--the Senior
Officer Development Course--was developed to provide
students with a comprehensive understanding of the
missions and responsibilities of the intelligence
profession in both 01ceptual and practical terms, its
responsibility in the national security structure of the
US Government, and the ethical principles applicable to
intelligence work. (U)

Information Services
The Agency's ability to comply with the Freedom of
Information and Privacy Acts and the mandatory classification
review provisions of Executive Order 12065 is seriously
impaired by the unique nature of our mission. Over the
past year, we devoted approximately 130 work-years to
these programs. This was a significant increase in
resource commitment over FY 1979. Despite this effort
and sizable resource commitment, we have not been able
to cope with the workload, and our processing backlog
has now reached over 3,000 initial requests and almost
400 appeals. (U)

particularly for FY 1981. (U)
