information being pass,--d via micraTave

6. Paragraph 4.g states that "the heads
of all departr--nts and agearcies of
the Federal Government shall organize
and cc-,duct their caa;unicatiors
security and oananations security
activities as they see fit subject
to the provisions of law, the pro-
visicns of this and other
directives...1
Paragraph 6.a states that as the
National Manager for Tele uni-
cations are. Information Systems
security the Director, NSA shall
?ettpirica:ly examine" govertzrsnt
tele ^.inications and autarated
information systems and evaluate
their vulnerability to hostile
interception and exploitation.
Paragraph ll.b states that "nothing
in this directive shall give the
h?PISSC, the Secretary of Defense,
or the Director, Nations! Security
? erxy authority to inspect the
personnel or facilities of other
department's and agencies v;i ti- ut the
approval of the head of such dep,.rt-
rrant or agency, nor to request or
collect information concerning
their operations for purposes not
provided for herein."

6. Although the }:c riling of paragra:a ll.b
would imply ti'Lr . the Director, CIA could
deny Director, NSA access to CIA facilities
to "erpirically examine" our teleoa mun -
cations and autamted inform tion systams
and evaluate their vulnerability to hostile
interception and exploitation, it has been.
cur experience that 1,BA is very ancressive
in pursuing this objective. The finaliza-
tion, of the R with IZA on the interface
of the CIA secure phone systar, with the NSA
cysten was .,`ayo 3 several years because
!M insisted on the rice to inert the
Agency system for capliance with NSA
directives. The revision of DC.-1/16 also
contains language that would permit ?`SA to
inspect our teleoaumuaicatiors network to
ensure c fiance with NSA standards. NSA
is uzt=illing to accept certification fra
the Director, CIA that the Fgen--- is in
acol iance with national st~.ndards wit at
an t irical examination."
The original draft of the NDD contained
the following language in paragraph il.b:
*Nothing in this directive shall give the
NTISSC, the secretary of Defense, or the
Director, National Security Agency authority
to inspect the personnel, facilities, or
interai operations of other depart tints and
agencies without their appoval-." This
wordino was chzrnged at The-insistence of the
Agency representative to the working group
that prepared the prcposed NSED to en--,are
that airy request by Director, NSA to in.-,,c
Agency facilities was addressed to the
Director, Cm rather than sane ur e d
operating official, -who might not appreciate
the in'plications of such a request.
