Preliminary Comments
A. Invited members' attention to the meeting beginning at 2:15, 3 August,
on unauthorized disclosures. said the primary purpose of the
meeting was to give Community Public Affairs Officers opportunity to hear
Mr. Casey speak on his concerns about unauthorized disclosures and engage in
a dialogue with him on their role in trying to control the problem. Following
this discussion with the DCI, attendees would see the first presentation of a
15-minute videotape by Mr. Casey illustrating damage from leaks and advising
of means by which the Community can help stop n would be
followed by an 8-minute, stand-up follow-on by and by a
showing of videotape excerpts from a TV panel discussion o `7 ss and
government secrecy. The DCI's videotaped presentation and
stand-up follow-on would be the package to be taken to the Community to alert
senior officials to the scope of the problem and to enlist their help in com-
batting it.
B. Reported that on 25 July the DCI referred the proposed revision of
DCID 1/14 to the National Foreign Intelligence Council for comments on the
issue of whether investigative coverage should be reduced from 15 to 10 years.
Said he did not know when the NFIC would meet on this matter.
C. Noted that members were sent copies of the revised FY. 1985 SECOM
budget request reflecting reduction in the guidance level and inputs from mem-
bers and the subcommittees on high-priority projects. said
he had not heard of any further developments on the FY 1985 budget. He noted
that the appeal of the Senate Oversight Committee's recommended cut of our
FY 1984 budget was still pending.
D. Advised that the SECOM staff, in consultation with the Computer
Security Subcommittee, had prepared for Dr. Ruth Davis a set of preliminary
comments on computer security matters that she should address and that SECOM
should deal with through the subcommittee. said the paper
stressed the need for a balanced approach in each of the several general areas
of computer security initiatives; the need for adequate resources supported at
the senior management level; and the need to attract, recruit, train and pro-
vide good career opportunities for Community personnel with expertise in this
field.
E. Stated that, in accordance with NSDD-84, two nondisclosure forms, one
for SCI and the other for collateral, have been developed. They have been
sent to National Security Council me hers for pproval, and should be ready
for promulgation during August 1983.
F. Reported that all members had sent in their vote sheets on DIA's
request for SECOM approval for DIA to release to the Applied Physics Lab-
oratory of Johns Hop University classified material bearing DCID 1/7
restrictive caveats. aid a majority of members nonconcurred.
He noted that several members questioned the need for this waiver, citing DIA's

said a potential problem is that the Capitol Police might not want to let all
of the 6 to 8 leave at the same time for their training. He advised that the
different times. He said assistance by the Legislative Liaison Staff might be
needed to resolve this concern and ensure that the Capitol Police would dedi-
cate the officers to be trained to the performance of TSCM tasks as a primary
duty. Mr. Dean advised that his conversation with Chief Powell and Captain
Boyle indicated they were not disposed to let the whole group of officers
leave for training at one time. said his understanding of 25X1
the original oral agreement with the Capitol Ponce was that the Community
would provide a single course for all who were to be trained. 25X1
stressed the need to work out satisfactory arrangements with a api o
Police on all aspects of their assumption of responsibility for TSCM on the
Hill in order to avoid the Community losing confidence about these arrange-
ments. Col. Press said the Secretary of the Army was concerned that Army
participation in the training on the Hill could be misconstrued as giving
the appearance of "bugging Congress." He advised that the Secretary w 7 1 1

reported that construction plans for xpansion were going
wel He sai the 95% design review had been done in late July, and that the
cost figure was solidifying at about $400,000, plus $56,000 for the architect
and contract monitoring. He noted that to close the school from
November to January for construction. advised that in the last year
or so there were three cases of ALTEC amplifiers carrying sensitive conversa-
tions out of hearing rooms in the Rayburn Building on the Hill. Mr. Rubino
asked if the am lifiers had been examined to determine if they had been
tampered with. P aid they hadn't, and cited lack of authority on
the part of the Community to conduct such examinations. Mr. Rubino suggested
we try to prompt the Congress to take action in such cases by advising them
of specific problems in graphic terms. He and Mr. Dean agreed to discuss how
best to handle this. Mr. Dean expressed his concern as to whether the Capitol
Police are prepared at present to make the specific commitments needed for
them to be able to do an adequate TSCM job. He suggested that if negotiations
with them don't result in satisfactory commitments, the Community may need to
continue indefinitely the practi cy providing its own TSCM
coverage of sensitive testimony. said that was not an attractive
alternative, as the old practice was not adequate and the Community could
it from h ing a focal point on the Hill to deal with.
asked to compile a list of actual and potential problems associated
with TSM on a Hill for use in briefing the DDCI and getting his guidance.
