W. Data Management Working Group (DMWG)
The DMWG efforts during January centered on data base
synchronization and problems in batch messages which transfer data
between computer systems.
X. Software Releases
During January, there were eight CAMS P/S software deliveries, all
installed as quick fix releases. These included delivery of the
levels of accomplishment software upgrade which improves system
architecture anlts in more reliable and efficient running of
the programs.
Y. Data Base Synchronization
During January, data base comparisons between CAMS P/S and T/S and
between the P/S and NPIC's NDS were conducted. P/S-T/S comparison
showed a significant decrease in discrepancies, although many target
history discrepancies remain. The P/S-NDS comparison results were
within acceptable levels.
Z. CAMS P/S Monthly Review)
The January P/S monthly review addressed the status of the
operational system, the current deve'^pment baseline up through and
including P/S Release 87-2, and a description of the P/S integration

Critical Intelligence Problems Committee
DCI/ICS 85-3730
26 February 1985
MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Eloise R. Page
Chairman
SUBJECT: CIPC Monthly Report--January 1985 F
1. The Committee did not convene in January. The next monthly meeting
will be scheduled in March 1985. The agenda will consist of one or more
action or
DCI, Terrorism Study,cMobileiMissile~Study, and the CombateInReport for telligencethe
DCI,
Analysis project.
2. Chemical/Biological Warfare (CBW) Study:
The CBW Study, as approved by the DCI, has been forwarded to the CIPC
Members for their information and implementation as appropriate. Meanwhile,
the CIPC CBW Intelligence Subcommittee is concluding its activities and will
produc al report for the CIPC prior to disestablishment by 1 April
1985.
3. However, during January the CIPC CBW Intelligence Subcommittee met
three times. At these meetings, the process of sharing information about each
other's organizations, activities, and problems continued. As a result of
these information exchanges, the subcommittee has a much broader understanding
of the Intelligence Community's CBW-related activities. These insights will
prove most helpful when the group prepares its final report for the CIPC. E__
4. In addition, the DCI's Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP)
informed the subcommittee that the CIPC CBW Study answered about 85 percent of
STAP's CBW questions. In view of this, STAP concluded that it would not
initiate a study on this subject. The STAP has a he DCI of this
development and he agreed with their conclusion.
5. Narcotics Intelligence Activities:
Final CIPC coordination was reached d was during
develoemonth on trequestnand
to the CIPC Narcotics Study. The addendum developed at your
was forwarded to you on 7 February 1985. It provides a record of progress
made to date on interagency coordination and narcotics intelligence collection
and analysis.

6. The NIO/Counterterrorism and Narcotics, was briefed by the CIPC staff
during the month on the genesis and evolution of the Narcotics Study. He was
also informed that we plan to initiate in February the final Narcotics Report for Narco the DCI on the status and results of PCPseongoingoinvolvement intthiicssSsutudy.
ectWith
the completion of this report,
area will probably be concluded.
7. Combat Intelligence Analysis:
A task force report is being drafted in response to the DIRNSA's request
to determine whether or not a proper balance of all-source intelligence is being
maintained between theater processing and analytic facilities and the
Intelligence Community analytic support organizations. The task force has
identified the need for more effective coordination between the theater
commanders and the intelligence collections. This coordination is necessary to
ensure a clear understanding of what the discilines can
provide under combat con to support
and operational mission.
8. The task force report will also identify some concern over whether or not
a senior "oversight" committee is needed to review all the policy, resource, and
deployment aspects of this issue. The report notes that other joint DoD studies
are already under way which touch directly and inferentially on aspects of the
combat intelligence problem. Moreover, the task force concludes that the CIPC is
not the appropriate forum to uch an in-depth review of the
national/tactical interface.
9. Terrorism Activity:
A Community Terrorist Threat Alert System was put into effect on
1 February 1985. The basic concept of the alert system came originally out of a
recommendation made by the CIPC Working Group .on Counterterrorism, and the
details were subsequently developed by the CIPC staff in concert with the
NIO/CT. In essence, the system provides for immediate exchange of threat
information among agencies via FLASHBOARD, formulation of a single Community
threat warning cable, and its transmission to affected posts overseas via State's
special "TERREP" channel. The system should ensure timely, coordinated alerts
while reducing some of the confusion involved by each agency issuing its own
separate warning messages.
10. Soviet Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD):
A CIPC staff officer attended the final Perry Panel meeting at Los
Alamos National Laboratories during the month. The purpose of this meeting was
to conclude the data gathering phase of the Perry Panel effort preparatory for
their report to the CIPC. The Perry Panel report is due to be completed and
forwarded to the CIPC in the March-April timeframe and will recommend new and
innovativ hes for improving our intelligence posture against the BMD
problem. g- aDOCOa

11. Although there is no evidence that the Soviets are on the verge of an
ABM treaty "breakout," the panel concluded that the Soviets are continuing to
prepare for a "breakout" if and when the decision is made, and further testing of
their ABM system in order to execute a "breakout" is not required. The panel
also concluded that the ability of the US to detect and characterize Soviet
Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) wdevelop currently l. USwprogram
there is an nnnrtu Y
testing.
12. Mobile Missile Study:
During the month, the Mobile Missile Panel worked closely with DIA,
C/ACIS, C/WSSIC, NIO/W, and NIO/SP to identify specific Intelligence Community
requirements in the areas of mobile missile targeting, arms control, general and
technical intelligence, and indication and warning intelligence, respectively.
In addition, various panel members have started drafting portions of the final
report which deals with the role of SIGINT collection, future collection systems,
and estimates of the future mobile missile threat. These intelligence
requirements and inputs will form the basis of the Mobile Missile Study whic
d and forwarded to the DCI by the end of March.

1. The Committee met twice in January, on the 16th and the 30th. On the
16th we completed our review of the latest edition of the NITs of Current
Interest to ensure that the subjects mentioned are covered adequately by DCID
1/2 topic definitions and country priorities. Our review produced proposals
for 74 priority changes and revisions to 13 topic definitions. The priority
changes concern political topics principally and are widely distributed across
49 countries. The complete ro osal package was sent to you for review and
approval on the 25th.
2. Our meeting on the 30th was devoted to consideration of a CIA proposal
to raise 45 country priorities for intelligence on international
communications issues largely from the 5/6 to the 3/4 levels. At a December
meeting on the subject, Committee members had requested that CIA provide
additional information on the signficance of international communications
developments and issues and their relationship to the countries in question.
CIA did so, and also brought experts from OGI to assist the Committee's review
of its proposal. Following discussion, the Committee approved 31 increases,
including the addition of four countries-

impact of disease and malnutrition in a country. The second,
"Biomedical support to military operations", would cover the
testing and use of biomedical technologies to maximize the
combat effectiveness of mid-star prces employing
high-technology weaponry.
5. In Preparation
- Country priorities for a new international debt topic and a
substantially revised topic covering monetary and financial
developments. We have requested the assistance of the EIC in
establishing and realigning the country priorities for these
topics. Their priorities proposal package should reach us

FROM:
SUBJECT: Activity Report for January 1985
I. Highlights
a. Unauthorized Disclosures
- The staff asked the Communi IA office of General
Counsel data on the security history of former contractor
employee, and on the topics addressed in his forthcoming book about the
Intelligence Community. The CIA Office of General l was rovided
commments on the proposed government response to plans to
publish the book without submitting it for government security review.
- The staff prepared and the DCI approved a plan to organize, in
cooperation with CIA's Offices of Public Affairs and Security, a program to
discuss with Community Public Affairs ficers what they could do to help with
the unauthorized disclosure problem.
b. In response to a request from CIA's Office of Legislative Liaison,
the staff commented on H.R. 39, Congressman Brooks' reintroduction of his 1984
attempt to legislate against most government uses of the polygraph and of
prepublication review requirements. SECOM continues to support a posture of
total opposition to this bill.
c. The Chairman of SECOM's Technical Surveillance Countermeasures
Subcommittee (TSCM) provided comments on how the proposed terms of reference
for NSA's new Countermeasures Advisory Panel would impact on SECOM's
responsibilities for supporting the DCI on TSCM policy and procedures. These
comments were provided SECOM members for review to determ;nom unity views
on the apparently overlapping responsibilities involved.

II. Work Completed or in Progress
a. Computer Security
- In response to SECOM members' interest in computer security, the
Computer Security Subcommittee was tasked to (1) review the rationale for
their existence, and (2) identify and report to SECOM current and planned
'Community com uter security projects and activities to protect intelligence
'information.
- The SECOM Computer Security Subcommittee discussed continued
support to the Navy's project to analyze HUMINT reporting for data on the
hostile threat to U.S. computers; work by the National Bureau of Standards on
the security of "personal" computers used by govern Ant rganizations; and
progress toward a new draft revision of DCID 1/16.
b. General
- The staff responded to a request from the CIA Directorate of
Intelligence for data illustrating the differences between personnel and
physical security ents applicable to TK material and to Secret, non-
SCI information.
- The Chairman briefed a National Cryptologic School OPSEC class on
SECOM's mission and functions, and on the problem of unauthorized disclosures
of classified intelligence.
- The staff prepared inputs for use in the annual reports of the DCI
to Congress and to the President. These summarized initiatives ter the
leak problem and highlights of other SECOM efforts during 1984.
- The Executive Secretary, in his capacity as the security officer
of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, arranged a courtesy call on
the DCI by a new judge of the Court, and a briefing of the judge by
General Counsel and the Chief, Community Counterintelligence Staff.
c. Personnel Security. The Air Force member provided a detailed
proposal prepared by an Air Force behavioral scientist concerning interviews
of convicted and jailed spies to obtain data useful in improving personnel
security screening and in remedying systemic problems which influence acts of
espionage or impede good security. The proposal was sent to SECOM members for
study leading to action to initiate the project.
d. Physical Security
- In order to provide a data collection capability on physical
security measures to secure intelligence facilities against terrorist attack,
the SECOM Physical Security Working Group was tasked to draft a new charter

resultant draft is scheduled for early discussion and decision by SECOM
members.
- Plans are being completed for four 1985 SECOM seminars for
physical security officers to encourage more uniform Community understanding
and application of DCI security policy in this area. Three of the seminars
will be for Community officers. One will be specifically arranged for
.security officers from Community contractor organizations to equip them better
to comply with security directions from their government sponsors.
e. Technical Surveillance Countermeasures
- The Chairman discussed technical security for House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence facilities with the committee staff director,
and arranged for briefings on effective security procedures the FBI-chaired
SECOM working group which supports the Legislative Branch.
- Contractor slippage in producing an engineering model of the SECOM
sponsored advanced TSCM receiver was discussed by the responsible SECOM
subcommittee. Community organizations planning FY 1985 purchase of the new
receivers are adapting their procurement schedules accordingly.
f. Unauthorized Disclosures. The Chairman drafted for policy level
consideration an unclassified essay on the authorized disclosure problem for
possible publication in a professional Journal or trade magazine. This would
be designed to public understanding of and support for initiatives
against leaks.

2. The FORMAT Initiatives
At the Committee's 1984 annual meeting, concern was
expressed about the ability of FORMAT and foreign materiel
exploitation, in general, to meet the needs of technology
assessment. The Chairman asked Dr. Bill Reese of Navy to study
the problem and report his findings to the Committee. He found
that commercially available foreign material (FORMAT) has sub-
stantial, unfilled potential for providing empirical benchmarks
for measuring foreign technical accomplishment. Dr. Reese
recommended that the Committee establish a FORMAT point of
contact on working groups when FME is applicable, establish a
pilot exploitation program in microelectronics and electro-optics
to provide the basic criteria for a comprehensive program, and
to form a, STTf oversight group to provide guidance for the pilot
