MEMORANDUM FOR DIRECTOR,-- CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY :
Sub j : Polygraph Interviews of Persons Assigned to
National Photographic Interpretation Center (U
Ref: (a) DepDir CIA memo of 23 Jan 1962, same subj
1. Reference (a) requested consideration of a proposal
that naval personnel assigned to the joint CIA-Navy
effort at the NPIC receive a polygraph interview as
part of their security clearance processing.
2. Naval personnel assigned to this joint effort are
given a thorough background investigation. It has long
been the position of Naval Intelligence that such an
investigation normally provides sufficient information
on which to base a security clearance decision regardless
of the sensitivity of the information for which clearance
is being sought. Recourse is had to the polygraph only
when some elements of the investigation cannot be handled
routinely (e.g., to cover a period of an individual's life
for which no direct or trustworthy sources can be found)
or when a specific allegation or suspicion has arisen-
and the polygraph is thought to be a useful aid in resolving
such a specific question. Where no such requirements arise,
use of the polygraph is not considered warrted and,
except in such circu nces, this office does not propose
to utilize the poly r h in screening personnel under Navy
security clearance r spo isibility.
Document No.
