Approved For Release 461'1 WVAY-RU'1"034R00050 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.
