SUBJECT: DCI Security Committee Long Range Plan Working Group
Second Meeting Minutes -- Comments and observations
1. Mr. Maynard C. Anderson, Chairman of the Working Group,
has made a number of comments concerning the SECOM and its past
efforts. I have the following observations:
Chief, Policy Branch
Policy and Plans Group
?SECOM has for years been trying to provide greater
uniformity of policies and procedures with minimum
cost. It should continue to do so, but without re-
inventing the wheel.

?SECOM should tread very carefully in the adjudication
areas which the WG Chairman is suggesting. We have
told the Congress, for instance, that we do not
question applicants concerning their religious beliefs.
*It is my understanding that SECOM has already put
"seed money" into scientific research in the behavioral
sciences. I know that the Air Force was given funds a
year or so ago to do some looking into the profile of
spies and defectors. I'm not sure how much progress
has been made in developing a model.
?Remanding the adverse actions information sharing item
to the individual agencies makes sense. We share what
we have according to our sepcific requirements.
?Inconsistent personnel security policies between agencies
are a continuing problem. The suggestions made by the
Chairman as to what SECOM should address are quite
reasonable. Some of them are already underway.
?The Chairman's suggestions that SECOM better advertise
its wares and that closer communication be established
between subcommittees are sound. An annual report of
significant SECOM activities means more work but would
seem worth it. Monthly subcommittee reports would also
mean more work, but would advertise the product and could
be used as the basis for SECOM's annual report.
?The Chairman suggests that the format of the SECOM
meetings might be changed to eliminate structured
subcommittee reports. That could be done, if formal
written reports were submitted. The meeting agenda
would, however, need to be closely scrutinized so that
the meetings retained a tight structure.

2. The Chairman, SECOM Long-Range Plan Working Group,
will be out of town through 10 March 1984, and has asked that
the Director of Security provide him with comments. The above
remarks constitute my own comments, and are not particularly
pithy.
