MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Support Services Staff
Security
Reference is made to your memo dated 3 September 1971
2)AI1A concerning the T.V. coverage of Until about
the middle of July the installation of the T.V. equipment
25X1A in was under contract and little could be done
concerning this equipment without jeopardizing the terms of the
contract. Alternative measures taken during this period were:
illuminate the building during the hours of darkness, install
security door contacts, and increase the number of security
inspections by the guard force during non-working hours. This
extra coverage is believed to be more than adequate for the
security coverage needed.
During the contract period the T.V. cameras were found to
have certain defects and were returned to the manufacturer for
modification. The cameras were returned in small groups so that
the maximum coverage could be given. After the completion of the
camera modifications and on acceptance of the contract about the
middle of July, all camera positions in wave been adequately
covered. Additional cameras are available so that if there is a
camera malfunction a substitute is installed promptly. In
addition, one of our guards has received maintenance instructions
by the Office of Security and the Electronics Laboratory and all
but major problems are handled by our own guard personnel. The
repaired camera is then returned to duty or placed on stand-by
for future service. Each of the actions taken were coordinated
with the Office of Security for their comments and recommendations.
