Recommendations 3. then asked attendees to alert their principal officers in the IG/CM( o e tasking. Whenever the request for the Armed Services Committee survey comes in and is approved, 0 anticipated the job could be completed in three weeks from conduct of survey to production of report. He explained that participants would go separately to the Committee to keep a low profile and to avoid disrupting office business. 0 said he would accompany each person, at least on their first visit. He thought two or three visits by each per mi ht be sufficient to gather the information necessary for their report. explained that he would speak to the IG/CM(P) members assemble at t eir next meeting on 10 November and would reiterate the need to have the designated persons released b their principals for the irregular specified periods to do this job. asked each participant to think about how they are going to conduct the survey, what questions they would ask and specifically how they would organize their respective portions of the survey. He said he was not imposing a deadline but he hoped participants would have their approach outlined in writing by the end of next week (13 November).

Attendees provided their office telephone numbers which were given to 25X1 and they all have his. Aft rou departed with the understanding they would be contacted in a week, and myself talked too unavoidably in the presence of Dan Jacobsen SD). We expressed our 25X1 apprehension about Steve Slaughter named by DoE for the physical security aspects of the tasking. remarked that he was a personal and ~'~~^ professional friend of Gene Bacher of DoE^and^he might be able to 25X1 needed him or, if Slaughter was too heavily burdened, then another physical security specialist from DoE should be supplied. Slaughter has no hack-uo in his job at DoE and is known to be overworked and has difficulty attending other meetings to which he is committed. 5. Regarding the letter from the House Armed Services Committee which is needed before the security survey can be conducted, we offered to make contact 25X1 with the Committee counsel, Mr. Hogan. 0 prefers to wait until he addresses the IG/CM(P) and then he will likely contact Tom Latimer and tell him the IG/CM(P) members have been apprised of the effort. Nothing firm is 25X1 established now but will likely call for another meeting on 13 November or or early the following wee to review bidding and the task force members' outlines of their approach to the survey.
