MEMORANDUM FOR:
Director of Security, CIA
Director, Intelligence Community Staff
SUBJECT: Chairmanship of the.DCI's Security Committee
1. The DCI is seeking a successor forl Chairman of the DCI's STAT
Security Committee, who is retiring shortly, in the past few years, the
activities and responsibilities of the committee, which addresses security-
related mattters of common concern to Community agencies, have expanded
significantly. The Chairmanship is a full-time position with responsibility
for supervising a small, permanent staff. He or she oversees a substantial
budget allocated to operational, training, and research and development
activities. In addition to leading the Committee, the Chairman is the DCI's
principal advisor on Community security policy other than counterintelligence.
2. I would like your assistance in identifying suitable candidates for
this position. As you can see, the sensitivity normally associated with
security matters, coupled with the ability and experience needed to perform
effectively in a coordinative role at the Community level, require an
individual of unusual capacity. Although we would prefer a security
specialist, we will also consider nominees with proven management ability in
other major areas of Community operations. The position is at the SIS-3 (GS-
11)/0-8 level and involves a two-year assignment to the Community staff on a
fully reimbursable basis. Otherwise qualified candidates at a lower grade
level will also be considered.
3. Please advise me by 12 May 1982 of the name of anyone you would like
to have considered. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.
