THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
--4606/1
2 2 NOV 1985
Honorable William Casey
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, DC 20505
Dear Bill:
I thought you might be interested in the report
of the Security Review Commission I chartered last
June to examine Department of Defense security
policies and procedures. It provides a sound frame-
work for internal improvements, and you may wish to
review these recommendations for possible use in the
CIA. Indeed, certain of the recommendations may be
applicable throughout the Executive Branch.
Sincerely,
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/11/20: CIA-RDP87MO1152R000300370002-2

DoD Security 19 November 1985
Review Commission
The Honorable Caspar W. Weinberger
Secretary of Defense
Washington, D. C. 20301
Dear Mr. Secretary:
On June 25, you established the DoD Security Review Commission.
Pursuant to its charter, the Commission has examined relevant
DoD policies and procedures; reviewed recent security incidents
and pertinent studies and reports; conducted numerous interviews
of cognizant officials, within and outside the Executive Branch,
as well as of knowledgeable individuals from the private sector;
solicited written views from an even wider community; examined
several security systems and organizational arrangements;
identified key vulnerabilities and deficiencies; and devised
remedies which are consistent with accomplishment of the
Department's overall mission, protection of individual rights
and fiscal constraints.
I-have the honor of-transmitting herewith the Report of the
Commission. My distinguished colleagues-have asked me to
underscore that this document, including its sixty-three
recommendations, are unanimously agreed.
We, the Commissioners, are persuaded that implementation of
our recommendations would result in significantly improved
security for classified information by enhancing deterrence
and providing greater likelihood of detecting potential or
actual compromise at an earlier stage. Loss of our secrets -
whether through espionage, theft or unauthorized disclosure
for other reason - will never be eliminated, but the oppor-
tunities therefor can be diminished and attempts at compromise
made more difficult at acceptable - indeed modest - cost.
Sincerely,
Richa4djG. Stilwell
General, U A (Ret.)
Chairman
