MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary
DCI Security Committee
CIA Member, DCI Security Committee
SUBJECT: Revision of DCID 1/11 (U)
REFERENCE: Memorandum from Chairman, SECOM, dated
9 August 1979, same subject (SECOM-D-604)
accordance with your request, as set forth in reference,
the proposed draft of DCID 1/il has been coordinated and the
following represents the CIA position regarding recommendations
for change:
a. Change l.c. on page 2 to read as follows:
"c. Reviewing and formulating security policies
and procedures for the secure transmittal, use,
storage and destruction of intelligence released
Centers, advised by control officers and source
exploitation experts. (U)
b. Clarify the policy intent of page 4,
paragraph 2.b. Rationale: Since any intelli-
gence information released to the public has
in setting security policy relative to the foreign
release of intelligence information. The overall
policy responsibility of the Intelligence Community
regarding the foreign-release of intelligence
information is best placed with the senior
officials of the National Analysis and Tasking
tion~T" Rationale: It is felt this change will
more accurately set forth SECOM's security role

by the very nature of its release been removed
from security protection, it is felt that this
paragraph requires clarification. However,
before any rewrite, the intent of such a pay:` _.y 9
statement must be defined. The obvious draw.
back of any such policy statement is the
potential involvement of the Community in every
public release by the member agencies' public
information personnel which might entail specific
or implied release of intelligence. In any ~y
rewrite, it is suggested that the word "security'',
be inserted between "Director of Central
' Intelligence" and "policies" as currently

shown in paragrap
that this change would more clearly define and
restrict SECOM's functions to those of a security
nature. (U)
c. Change page 5, paragraph 2.c., lines 2
and 3, to read " . . procedures to guard against
improper classification of intelligence informa-
tion . ." Rationale: This change will ensure
accommodation with Section 5-404(d) of Executive
Order 12065 which encourages challenges of classi-
fication decisions believed to be im ro er, not
restricting challenges to overciass~ton only. (U)
d. Change paragraph l.i. of Attachment 1
to read as follows: "To evaluate foreign tech-

This will more accurately cover the use to which

this directive." Rationale: This change is
proposed to avoid conflict and confusion between
DCID 1/11 and DCID 1/16 which, in paragraph III.I..a.,
Chapter III, exempts computers performing certain
communications functions. The CIA considers the
above change to be essential. (U)
f. Change the following portions of the
proposed Attachment 3 of DCID 1/11 to reflect
the wording of the current Attachment 3, DCID 1/11:
(1) Insert the word "technical" on
page 1, paragraph 1, line 3, of Attachment 3 ~v
of DCID 1/11 between the words "Board" and
"guidance," and, on page 2, paragraph 2, lines 1
and 2, between the words "maintain" and "guidance."
(2) Reinstate the following paragraph
which is present in the current Attachment 3 to
DCID 1/11 but has been stricken from the proposed
Attachment 3 to DCID 1/11: "To furnish technical
guidance and assistance to the Committee on
Imagery Requirements and Exploitation, to the
SIGINT Committee and to the Executive Agents of
other compartmented information in connection
with their sanitization, downgrading, declassi
fication and decontrol responsibilities." Rationale: The above changes should make it ~c-VP
clear that SECOM's primary responsibility in li
the area of compartmentation, as in foreign
disclosure, is to develop and monitor specific
security policies and procedures, not to provide
policy on what is to be compartmented (or released). (C)
g. Clarify the intent and rewrite page 3,
paragraph 5 of Attachment 3. Rationale: As
written, the paragraph advocates the recom-
mendation of security policies which would
govern "the release or disclosure of compart-
mented intelligence information to the public."
It is felt that the probable intent of this
paragraph was to establish security policies
governing the decompartmentation. and declassi-
fication of intelligence in ormation Tor pu lic
