REPLY TO
ATTN OF: INS
TO: Executive Secretary
DCI Security Committee
1. As you know, the countries and areas in which visits, travel,
and assignment are considered to be a "hazardous activity" are
listed in the appendix to DCID 1/20. The Compartmentation Sub-
committee periodically submits recommended changes to the ap-
pendix to the DCI SECOM. Subsequent to SECOM approval, the actual
revision to the DCID is issued by the NFIB as a "Memorandum for
Holders of DCID 1/20."
2. This process sometimes takes a matter of two to three months
from the date of the Compartmentation Subcommittee recommendation
to issuance of the NFIB memorandum. As there is usually a degree
of urgency in adjusting the listing of "hazardous activities,"
earlier promulgation of these changes is recommended.
S 3. The Compartmentation Subcommittee recommends that NFIB Secre-
tariat agreement be obtained to enable future changes to the DCID
1/20 "hazardous activities" listing be promulgated under authority
of the SECOM Chairman or (as a alternative recommendation) the
Compartmentation Subcommittee. Specifically:
a. Changes recommended by the Compartmentation Subcommittee
would be sent to the SECOM Chairman. (Subcommittee members would
coordinate recommendations with their SECOM principal prior to
this step to insure agreement--dissenting minority Subcommittee
views would be "footnoted.")
b. SECOM Chairman would approve/reject recommended Subcom-
mittee changes without placing the matter before the SECOM member-
ship and without referral of the matter to the NFIB Secretariat.
c. SECOM Chairman would notify the Compartmentation Subcom-
mittee Chairman of the approval/rejection of the recommendations.
The Compartmentation Subcommittee would then be responsible for
forwarding an appropriate change to DCID 1/20 to the NFIB Secre-
tariat and all holders of DCID 1/20.
4. It is emphasized that the above procedure would only be follow-
ed with respect to changes to the DCID 1/20 "hazardous activities"
?
