SUGGESTED DCI REMARKS
It is my pleasure again to be part of the Agency's anniversary
celebration and to join you in a ceremony honoring our employees who have
contributed significant service to the Agency mission. Over these 36 years,
our sense of purpose and our mettle have been tested abroad and at home but
we can take pride in the knowledge that the product of this Agency has been
invaluable to our presidents in governing this great nation. During this
period, like so many of you men and women here today, the Central
Intelligence Agency has reached its prime.
We have learned how to do many things well. We also have learned from
our mistakes and how to avoid similar problems. With this experience we are
better able to face the future. On the other hand, the danger of
institutional maturity can be the temptation to try only those things
experience tells us will work. We must always look for better ways to do
our job and rededicate ourselves to doing the best possible job, whatever
role we play as individuals. Our most valuable resource continues to be our
employees. Without the talented, dedicated personnel such as yogit would
be impossible to provide the high quality intelligence product on which the
[President relies in making decisions affecting the national interest.
With regard to some matters of current interest, I am sure that the
budget is high on that list. We may not get it all, but it appears that we
will get a considerable portion of what we requested in personnel and funds

for FY 1984. I am encouraged that our priority programs will proceed as
planned. We still have a severe shortage of space. As you are aware, plans
are underway for the new building. We are optimistic that we will get the
funding that we have requested.Cnd also be able to reach a favorable
compromise with the citizens of McLean on anticipated traffic problems.]
A continuing concern of mine is the problem of leaks of classified
information. You should be aware that I take my statutory responsibility to
protect sources and methods extremely seriously. currently, problems such
as the ease of xeroxing is a matter of particular concern. All Agency
personnel must cooperate not only in tightening up and educating others to
the problem we have, but in sending a signal that we mean business. For too
long unauthorized disclosure has been a risk-free business where the
perception is that no one is ever penalized for handing out classified
information or for careless handling of that information. I can assure you
that is being changed. A bill to establish criminal penalities for
unauthorized disclosures of classified information has been cleared, by OMB.
I urge every Agency employee to take his or her responsibility in this
matter very seriously.
Each year at this time we honor a representative group of dedicated
employees who have completed significant milestones in their careers. I am
happy to be able to honor many of you personally this morning as we
acknowledge the service each of you and this Agency has provided in the
interest of our country's national security.
