MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Security Committee
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Unauthorized Disclosures and Prepublication Review
I was interested in reading the report to you on damage sustained
through uncleared publications. I return it with the thought that some
reference to this phase of the problem might be made in the broader
paper that I requested in another memorandum to you of today's date.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Kenneth deGraffenreid
National Security Council Staff
Chairman
SUBJECT: Unauthorized Disclosures and Prepublication Review
REFERENCE: SECOM-D-029, 13 February 1984, same subject
1. Reference transmitted to you a report by the CIA Prepublication
Review Board (PRB) concerning the effectiveness of PRB in preventing the
inadvertent publication of classified information. It also mentioned the
efforts of a task force to determine how many unreviewed publications by
SCI-approved individuals contained classified information. That group has
now completed its efforts and its report is attached. F--]
2. Particularly noteworthy in the attachment is the conclusion that
prepublication review is indispensable as a means of averting unintended
disclosures, but is not a significant factor in preventing willful disclosures
of classified information, or "leaks." I hope this material will be of
assistance to you. F7 25X1

1. To develop support for the prepublication review requirement in
NSDD-84, a task force was created to review the writings of former government
officials with access to SCI who had published writings not submitted for
prepublication review. The Task Force was to look for classified information
that had been disclosed because there was no prepublication review requirement.
This was not considered to be a search for leaks, and for more on that point
see paragraph Sc below. The Task Force was organized under the Office of
Information Services (QIS), Directorate of Administration with additional
support provided by the Directorates of Operations, Intelligence and Science
and T eclinolog .. Office of Securi 'f`i ask Force was. rov dec'l?
