MEMORANDUM FOR THE ACTING CHIEF, CENTRAL PLANNING STAFF:

Group.
1. At 1100 hours this date, a conference was held upon the
establishment of more stringent internal security measures to be
applicable to the personnel and physical location of the Central
Intelligence Group, particularly with reference to the move of the
CIG offices on 15 May 1946 to the

25X1A9a Administrative Officer, CIG
Asst Administrative Officer, GIG
Acting Chief, Security Brai ch, CPS, CIG
25X1A9a Acting Executive, Security Branch, CPS, CIG
2. Study of the floor plan and a physical inspection of the second
floor area where CIG offices will be located indicate that suitable security
of the proposed "CIG Restricted Area" can be effected by;
a. Blocking or barring all stairways, auditorium doors, and
the one elevator stop which now permit entrance into, or egress from,
the area,
b. Establishing two 24-hour entrance or exit control posts
for the area to be manned by Public Buildings Administration guards.
(This maybe cut to one post after experience is gained in the new
location.)
c. Arranging for an initial security survey of the area to
be accomplished after the move by trained Counter Intelligence
Corps personnel requested by the CIG Administrative Officer from
the A.C. of S, G-2, Military District of Washington (Lt. Colonel
E. C. Townsend, Room 5B489, Pentagon, Ext. 3674). It was suggested
that periodic security surveys of the "CIG Restricted Area" as well
as of all CIG internal security control measures (pertaining to
personnel, information and installations) should be made by CIC
personnel from time to time after the initial survey in order to
strive for continuing improvements in safeguarding the Central
Intelligence Group..
