2. Secure Telephone Requirements for the Future:
LOCAL SYSTEM:
PMS does not have a secure telephone service at present.
It is estimated that 50 percent or more of our telephone
calls involve classified information. These calls involve
classified contracts, classified contractors, classified
locations, program information, and other matters considered
classified or for internal use only. Activities of a highly
sensitive nature are discussed using the green line in the
Office of the .I)irector of Logistics.
It has been the policy of INS to convey any information
by telephone which is considered to impinge on security in
a disguised parlance or to send the information by mail, or
to personally cary the information to the destination, if
urgent.
The staff will be able to function in a more efficient
as well as a more secure manner with the addition of a secure
telephone line for conversations with other Agency components.
It is our approximation that 60 percent of our telephone con-
versations are conducted with Agency persons in other buildings.
Most of these calls (approximately 80 percent) involve sub-
jects considered classified. We do have telephone business
with GSA, DOD, and other agencies, but they are in the main
unclassified.
PMS considers the equivalent of the present green line
should be sufficient to meet its present and projected needs
for the future. We do not have any requirements for other
than voice communication in a secure phone system'# No
specific convenience features are desired for the staff A
centrex system (direct line to customer) is considered 'ost
suitable for the staff's working arrangements.
