MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
Director of Security
SUBJECT: Resources for the Personnel Security Program
1. By memorandum dated 30 May 1984, Mr.
Director of Development and Engineer . DDS-&T-,- favorably
responded to my personal appeal for o address a Fiscal
Year 1984 shortfall in the Program
in terms of industrial clearance activities. Although the
Directorate of Science and Technology has generally been very
supportive of our investigative efforts, the point is made by
Mr. Kohler that this is the fifth consecutive year that OD&E
has contributed funds for the security processing of contractor
personnel, and concern is expressed about a collective planning
deficiency.
2. I feel compelled to point out that there was a
significant increase in industrial cases over and above that
which was forecast during the 1984 Program Call. It is also
important to realize that we now have very strong indications
that there will be similar developments in Fiscal Year 1985.
The Office of Development and Engineering is now projecting
industrial investigations, which is higher 25X1
than that which was forecast during the 1985 Program Call. We
are working very closely with the office of Development and
Engineering in a collegial attempt to bring field projections
more in line with the reality of actual case receipts. There
is also the realization on our part that processing time is
extremely important and costly to the Directorate of Science
and Technology, which may be expending in the neighborhood of
3. As you are well aware, the Deputy Director of Central
Intelligence is very much concerned about filling vacant staff
positions in the Agency, and this also places a tremendous
strain on all of the screening offices to expedite the
processing of applicants, and give priority attention to the
important Career Training Program. We continue to cooperate
with the Office of Personnel in an all out effort to handle the
increased security workload so that essential hiring goals are
met. The key point is that we are being squeezed from all

directions in the processing of investigative cases, and even
though the Program is invaluable,
it is not the final solution.
4. I am sure you agree that these yearly negotiations for
additional funding are less than desirable. Our
Program has been forced to expand dramatically to
contend with the explosiveness of the OD&E programs, and as a
result the cost has far exceeded the budget. If we are ever
going to bring this chronic problem under control and stay
within reasonable fiscal bounds, we must continue to increase
the number of staff investigators in our field offices, and
reduce our dependence on contract investigators.
5. The Office of Security asked for positions for
Personnel Security in Fiscal Year 1985, and our Personnel
Security request for Fiscal Year 1986 has already been cut from
It is believed absolutely essential to our mission
that the positions remaining for both fiscal ears be protected
positions be
from further erosion and, if possible, those [7
restored to our 1986 request. It is emphasize that these cuts
in the Personnel Security area have a significant adverse
impact on our customers, and is otherwise costing the Agency
through delays in the clearance process.

SUBJECT: Funding for Industrial Security Clearances

1. Your verbal request for to address an Office of
Security FY 84 shortfall in the Program has
been fav considered and I have asked my Finance Officer to
transfer Y 84 funds from ODE to the Office of
Security.
2. As you know, this is the fifth consecutive year that ODiiE
has contributed funds for the security processing of contractor
personnel. While this funding was and is being provided in recog-
nition that contractor clearance requests generated as a result of
activities of this Office during these years have exceeded projec-
tions, and therefore contributed to the OS shortfall, I am con-
cerned that the repetition of these shortfalls may signal a plan-
ning deficiency. 25X1
3. Projections indicate that the contractor clearance case 25X1
load through FY 1987 should continue at approximately the
level. The average industrial clearance processing tii.;e
has grown by approximately 50 percent during the past year. I art
concerned that the resources OS may have available will continue
to be insufficient. I believe it would be appropriate and timely
for a joint review between ODE and OS to determine what actions,
if any, man be taken to insure that adequate resources will be
available in FY FS and beyond. ~ 25X1
