MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
Acting Chief, Policy and Plans Group
SUBJECT: SECOM Charter
REFERENCE: Memo for Members, DCI SECOM from C/SECOM,
dated 6 July 1982, same Subject (SECOM-D-234)
1. The proposed SECOM charter has been revised in the
manner described in paragraph 3 of Reference. The revision is
not considered objectionable in that no misunderstanding exists
on our part regarding the criminal investigatory functions of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the prerogative of the
Department of Justice to prosecute. Rather, we have been frus-
trated in the failure of these agencies to investigate or
prosecute in instances involving leaks. The revision permits
security investigation of leaks by components of the Intelligence
Community and does not preclude administrative action deemed
appropriate as a sanction when the source of an unauthorized
disclosure of intelligence sources and methods is identified.
2. It is recommended that SECOM be advised of no ('IA
objections to the proposed revision. In view of the deadline, it
is suggested our response be telephonic and that this memo serve
as documentation of our position.
