DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Security Committee
MEMORANDUM FOR: Members
Acting Chairman
SUBJECT: Legislative Branch Access to SCI
I LE
SECOM-D-228
21 October 1981
1. As Community departments and agencies enter another
period of numerous briefings for the Congress on sensitive
intelligence matters, it might be helpful for you to have a
copy of the attached informal agreement on Legislative Branch
Access to SCI that was reached between the DCI's staff and
the staffs of the Oversight Committees. This agreement is in
the strawman revision of DCID 1/19 now being coordinated in
the Community.
2. Members should be alert to an additional factor.
Several Hill holders of SCI access approvals have BI's more
than 5 years old. The DoD has assumed responsibility for BI
action on many Hill staff personnel. The DoD decision to
suspend reinvestigations forces recognition that incremental
accesses may be granted based upon a BI more than 5 years old.
Accordingly, completion of the BI update can not be a condition
of granting additional SCI accesses to Congressional staff
personnel. We are seeking assurances, however, that updates
have been requested.
