Deputy Director of Security
SUBJECT: DCID 1/14 Waivers
1. Reference is made to the 4 June 1979 Office of
Security mcuorandum concerning the house Appropriations
Committee. Specific reference is made to paragraph 6 of
Attachment C, which concerns the Office of Security esti:ated
numioer of waivers granted to DCID 1/14 criteria.
2. Waivers to DCID 1/14 are granted in two situations:
(1) Where so;,ieone in Subject's immediate family
is an alien,
(2) Where the background investigation is over
five years old.
3. The estimated figures in paragraph 6 of AttaclL7!ent A
are derived only from those cases with investigations over
five years old. They are estimated because the Office of
Security has never had a need to track the number of waivers
granted.
4. Waivers are granted to Staff Members of Congressional
Committees and to employees of non-NFIB agencies when there is
not enough time to update the investigation conducted before
the planned use of the individual and the background investi-
gation is reasonably close to the five year limit. These
waivers are granted after obtaining the assurance that the
background investigation will be updated in the near future.
Staff waivers are granted routinely without regard for the
age of the background investigation, but are i?im diately
referred to the Reinvestigation Section for updating. They

security assurance. Additionally, we also have access to
the employee's security history and each security file is
reviewed before approval. It is our rough estimate that
there are ten staff cases each week which require a waiver
of DCIDD 1/14. This means that in the twelve weeks since
I :,!,arch 1979, we have (;ranted in the neighborhood of 120
waivers. It is emphasized that this is our best estimate,
and we should not be hold to firm figures.
S. We have granted SCI access to 14 non-=4rIB cases
since 1 March 1979. This figure is accurate as we send
for7.a1 memoranda to these agencies advising then that their
employee needs his background investigation brought up to
date. It is estimated from memory that six staff members
of Congressional committees have been granted waivers since 25X1
1 ',larch 1979. These total the twenty non-Agency -waivers
