To this end, I asked CIA, NSA, DIA, and the FsI_to review the three reports, and prove a me their expert views and recommendations. Based on a report produced by the interagency team, I recommend: The highest priority must be given to restoring security and habitability to the Existing Office Building. The review of personnel nominated for assignment to Moscow must be more comprehensive, including polygraph, and the security and suitability standards made more stringent and uniform. Major investments must be undertaken to correct the grossly inadequate physical security situation in Moscow. To neutralize the existing technical penetration of our New Office Building in Moscow, we must dismantle and reconstruct significant portions of the building. If time and money were not constraints, the building ideally should be replaced completely. Also, aggressive exploitation of the Soviet monitoring systems in the New Office Building should be continued.

As recommended by PFIAB, the DCI should be granted authority for establishing overseas security policy and standards and certifying the security of our overseas missions. Mr. President, accomplishing our objectives of security in the New Office Building will require unprecedented cooperation from the Soviets. If we fail to achieve the necessary agreements with them, this will place an even greater premium on obtaining an assured level of security in the Existing Office Building and I believe should cause us to block the Soviets from occupying Ehe Mt. Alto chancellery. As for the amount of secured space required for Moscow, that will of course depend on the size of the mission there.
