STAT FROM:
Chief, Management Staff, DDA
.SUBJECT: APEX Implementation
1. The Office of Security, on 21 November 1980, sponsored an
initial orientation briefing for Agency APEX Control Officers (ACOs)
and APEX Security Officers (ASOs). As both the Directorate,ACO and
ASO I attempted to ensure that each of your offices was appropriately
represented. A copy of the briefing material used by various of the
speakers is attached for your information.
2. While formal APEX implementation will probably not occur for
some months yet, it would seem prudent for us to make ACO and ASO
assignments within each office. Please provide me the names and
telephone extensions of officers designated by you to be your ASO and
your ACO by Friday, 5 December 1980. In the case of ACOs, your
initial designees were:
STAT
OC:
ODP:
OF:
OL:
OMS:
OS:
OTE:
OIS:
Confirmation that your ACO designations remain unchanged, if so, will
be fine.
3. Once we have both ACOs and ASOs designated I plan to begin a
more extensive orientation and familiarization for appropriate
Directorate personnel. I would expect your ACOs and ASOs to actively
participate.
4. I am available to discuss this with you at your convenience.
