MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: John F. Blake
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Report on Industrial Contracts and
Industrial Security
1. It is with pleasure I forward for your reading the attached
report on "Industrial Contracts and Industrial Security."
2. Background on the report is as follows. As a result of the
Boyce/Lee case it was determined that steps had to be taken to strengthen
the industrial security program of the Agency. The DCI asked that this
matter be given intensive attention. I had long felt that the time had
arrived for a comprehensive review of all aspects of the Agency's contracting
program. In addition to industrial security, which plays a supporting role
in the contracting program, the functions of Logistics, Security, and Audit
are heavily involved. The last major study was made in 1966 and that fact
alone bore heavily on my reasoning. The DCI agreed with the overall approach
and on 16 September 1977, as the Acting DDCI, I launched the undertaking.
Because of the Director's known high interest in industrial security that
was given first priority for consideration and an interim report on that
matter was submitted to the Director in December 1977.
3. I now propose the following course of action. I would like to
suggest that you gentlemen, at your convenience, familiarize yourself with
the contents of this report. In so doing, I believe it would make sense if
you first read the memorandum contained in Appendix I which established the
parameters of this comprehensive review. I am simultaneously sending copies
of the study to cy deputies, heads of the appropriate independent
offices, and to We will then take action to schedule a meeting
6 of the Executiv v6sory roue to discuss the reports reca
