Dear Bill:
Executive Registry
83- 6;2V7
This is a further progress report on the work of the Senior Interagency
Group (Intelligence) [SIG(I)] in developing implementation of the policy
and legal actions identified in the NSSD-2 study to counter the hostile
intelligence threat. Of the 106 recommended actions, 72 are resource
actions on which a strong beginning has been established in the FY-84
budget and guidance for the FY-85 budget.
Of the 34 policy and legal measures recommended in the NSSD-2 study,
12 were assigned to an Interagency Group for Counterintelligence (IG/CI)
chaired by FBI Director Webster and 22 to an Interagency Group for
Countermeasures (IG/CM) chaired by General Stilwell.
The SIG(I) has unanimously approved seven proposals developed by the
IG/CI to limit the hostile presence in the United States. They are indicated
at Tab 1. A proposed NSDD developed by the IG/CM to control foreign civil
overflights of the United States is at Tab 2. These are forwarded with my
approval and endorsement.
The IG/CI developed ten other proposals to limit the hostile presence.
All of these proposals on limiting the hostile presence are analyzed in depth
in a study submitted for your information at Tab 3. A consensus was not
achieved on these measures with most of the members desirous of taking full
action to reduce the hostile threat

At Tab 5, I enclose a report on the status of 11 other projects assigned
to the.IG/CI.
At Tab 6, there is a report on the status of 15 other proposals assigned
to IG/CM.
You will note that recommendations on several of these proposals are
promised over the next few weeks and they will promptly, where appropriate,
be brought before the SIG(I) for deliberation and forwarded to you.
The organizational phase of the NSSD-2 study has been under way in the
IG/CI and IG/CM since January. Their work is scheduled for completion in May
and their recommendations will be promptly considered by the SIG(I) and
reported to you for appropriate action.
