Director of Central Intelligence
Security Committee
Computer Security Subcommittee
1. The one hundred and seventy-thir
STAT Computer Security Subcommittee was held at"7~7
McLean, VA on 16 July 1985, and was attended by the following
persons:
STAT
STAT
SIAI
ecutive Secretary
NSA
OM
2. The fi t item discussed was the status of the FY85
STAT budget. reported that approximately 60% of the SECOM's
funds have been on hold since April, and that the chairman of the
SECOM had just recently been informed that their budget proposal had
been disapproved. Apparently this had occurred with little warning,
STAT and little prior discussion with the SECOM. further
reported that the Executive Officer of the statt had asked the
SECOM to re-submit, indicating the possibility of a second chance.
STAT 3. distributed copies of an annotated bibliography
on security tor personal computers (PC's), which had been produced
by a Navy reservist, and in support of both the Computer Security
Center and the CSS efforts in the area of PC security. This paper
was reviewed. Some recommendations were made for improving the
utility of the document for the CSS effort to produce PC security
guidelines, however, it was found to be acceptable for the intended
purpose.
4. It was suggested that the CSS be the conduit through which
the SECOM and the Intel Community receive items of interest,
specifically, issuances from the Computer Security Center.
Accordingly, it was agreed that the Executive Secretary will forward
a current copy of the Evaluated Products List (EPL) and recent
guidelines which have been published.
STAT 5 reported on the activities under the contract
STAT with noting that has primarily been
involved with tha argely due to the availability of resources.
STAT Consequently, will attend the IHC meetings, while
STAT will attend the CSS meetings as the representative of the
STAT itic. it was further noted that has officially
appointed the IHC as the point o contact for the NTISSC.
6 As a result of some of the discussions, above, Mrs.
STAT questioned whether or not there really exists a sufficient
baseline of computer security-oriented persons within the community
to support a separate CSS. Accordingly, it was suggested that we
identify community computer security resources, by name, and also
identify what percentage of their time is available for CSS
activities.

7. We discussed the issues revolving about Memoranda of
Understanding (MOU) for co-utilization of facilities. It was noted
that DCID 1/19 should address this problem, and that the CSS should
also draft an addendum to DCID 1/16 dealing with the need for such
MOU's, perhaps pointing to the more detailed procedures in DCID
1/19. A working group was suggested as the vehicle for the drafting
of an initial set of procedures and guidelines for possible
inclusion into DCID 1/19. This was also seen as a good opportunity
for working across Subcommittees, since it is an issue whose
resolution involves several SECOM subcommittees. The suggestion was
made that the activity in this area should be initiated by a meeting
between the chairmen of the CSS and the Compartmentation Committee.
8. The next meeting was set for 17 September (there will be
STAT no meeting in August)
Executive Secretary
