SUBJECT: Activity Report for August 1983
I. Highlights
1. Unauthorized Disclosures Matters.
- The SECOM staff prepared, and the DCI signed, a memorandum
to the National Foreign Intelligence Council promulgating the non-
disclosure agreement for SCI developed pursuant to NSDD-84. The
memorandum enjoins departments and agencies receiving materials
submitted for prepublication review to refer them to Intelligence
Community agencies with interest in the topics involved when the
materials relate to SCI or to sources and methods.
- Pursuant to arrangements made by the Chairman, SECOM, and
the Directors of Security and Public Affairs, the DCI spoke to
senior public affairs and security officers of the Community on the
damage from leaks of intelligence and the need to stop them. The
Chairman followed up the DCI's personal and videotaped remarks with
a short presentation on how Community agencies could avail them-
selves of DCI staff resources to deal with impending leaks or to
report suspected breaches of security. Later in August, the Chair-
man showed the videotaped presentation of the DCI's remarks to
senior officials of OD&E, OIS and ODP, and responded to questions
and comments. Similar presentations are scheduled for Community
departments and agencies in September.
2. Computer Security. The Community was tasked, through the SECOM
Computer ecurity Subcommittee, to support the assessment
of computer security by compiling data on funded, and on un unded but
needed, computer security projects, and on current and FY 1984 expected
computer security organizations.
