DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Security Committee
20 April 1982
MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
FROM:
SECOM Staff
SUBJECT: Study of Hill Coverage (ACM)
Week of 5 April 1982
1. On 12 April 1982, IC Legislative Liaison Officer and
the writer met for about two hours With captain "Mike",Boyle, Capitol Hill
Police. Present during part of this meeting was Captain Bob Langley,-also
of the CHP. A.large.part of the meeting involved explaining to Captain Boyle
the role of the Security Committee and the Intelligence Community in setting
out this project vis-a-vis the single participation of the Central Intelligence
Agency. We furnished to Captain Boyle a copy of DCID 1/11 as well as the new
brochure on CIA which contains excellent charts setting out the areas where
the Intelligence Community Staff fits within the Community.
2. Captain Boyle explained some of the history of the CHP and the fact
that, until the late 1960's, it was basically a "patronage" police force.
Although CHP still has a number of patronage positions, if the individuals
vying for these jobs do not pass CHP screening procedures, they are not selected
for employment. The point of this discussion was, of course, to point out that
the CHP has greatly increased its professionalism over the past few years.
Judging from Captains' Boyle and Langley, the writer would agree with this.
3. Also during this meeting, Captain Boyle brought up two other items
of interest to them which have obviously been of some concern to CHP. According
to Captain Boyle, the Secret Service did a survey of their (CHP's) capabilities
some months ago and one of the recommendations that they made was that, since
the CHP does not or is not able to keep up with the state of the art development
of audio devices they become a member of the Technical Surveillances Counter-
measures Subcommittee (TSCS). This was not acceptable, apparently to TSCS
and therefore nothing further has happened regarding this. Additionally,
Captain Boyle indicated that during the "Libyan Hit Team" matter, information
was peripherally received that a senior Senator was on the "hit list." However,
CHP did not receive this information on any sort of timely basis. The Chief

and Captain Boyle are concerned, therefore, with ascertaining whether or not
there is any chance of obtaining "intelligence" in these areas with respect
to threats against Congressmen. and I noted that we would take these
matters up with appropriate authors y, but did not make any promises as
regards results.
4. Captain Boyle also asked that we firnish him as soo as possible a
list of the rooms that we wished to "test." n coordination
with other interested parties, took this list to ap an oy a on the after-
noon of 13 April. The rooms are: S-407; S-116; S-126; S-128 and H-407 and
H-140. On the morning of 14 April, Captain Boyle called to ask if CIA had
regularly done the ACM in these rooms. After consultation with
OS/TSD, I advised Captain Boyle that the Agency had not done S-126 and S-1
since 1980; had not done S-407 and H-407 since these became the SSIC and HPSCI
rooms and had regularly done the others. The-two major Intelligence Committee
rooms have, in fact, been done by the CHP.
5. Progress continues in this matter and we are now waiting for further
word from the CHP as n to proceed. All of the appropriate individuals
have been alerted and projects the actual physical activity as being
two days in duration, was su sequently determined that during the week of
19 April, the following rooms would be done: S-407 (the SSIC room) on 19 April;
Dirksen 1223 on 21 April; S-128 on 23 April; and S-116 on 24 April.
