25X1 C (a) USIB Polk Establish in UnLform: Secure Processing
Procedures for Forefizr iaisson Personnel
In April 1965, the Board directed that the Security
Committee consider the problems raised by the differing
25X1 C security procedures used by member agencies in dealing
eign 'unison personnel. After re-
ach member's internal procedures, a uniform pro-
cedure for security processing such foreign personnel was
agreed upon by the Committee and received USIB approval
on 20 September 1966.
(b) Uniform Personnel Secure Standards and Practices
Governing Access to Sensitive Coin rtmeuted Information
25X1A
One of the recommendations made by PFIAB in its
analysis of the-case was the establishment of uniform
security criteria for all, personnel having access to
sensitive information. A draft of the standards prepared by
the Security Committee and coordinated with the SIGINT and
COMOR Committees was approved by USIB and issued as
DCID 1/14 on 23 June 1967. This represented a major break-
through for the Security Committee' a efforts to standardize
personnel security criteria and should serve as a springboard
for similar uniform practices in other areas of security concern.

material to possible compromise, and accelerated by the
revelations of the - case, the Joint Chiefs of Staff
authorized a detailed survey of ARFCOS. The security
recommendations of that survey, which were concurred in
by the Security Committee, raised serious questions about
the suitability of ARFCOS as a channel for sensitive intel-
ligence. Both the SIGINT and Security Committees have
been kept advised periodically by ARFCOS officials of their
implementation of the JCS approved recommendations, and
a joint Security and SIGINT Committee paper will be forwarded
to the USIB on this subject.
A Study of Provocations and Harassments A ainsst Attaches
and Other U. S. Of tcialss in Soy Bloc Areas
25X1A2g
For some time the Security Committee received from
its members reports of harassments and provocations directed
against military attaches, U. S. civilian employees and private
citizens in the Soviet Bloc. After a detailed analysis, a study
of this problem was approved by the Committee and forwarded
to USIB for approval of its dissemination to the intelligence
community for use as a briefing aid for all travelers to denied
areas.
The Office of Security participated in the exercise by
ewing and updating OS relocation plans (including person-
25X1A6a
nel rosters), the OS Emergency Team and all emer enc 25X1A6a
credentials. The pertinent Vital Records at the
were reviewed and steps were taken to update
such records.

b. Personnel Security
1. Agency Policy Guide
Work continued leading to the issuance on 17 July 1967 of
- an Agency Policy Guide Covering Unofficial Public
Appearances and Open Publication. The notice, a guide to Agency
employees and supervisors, has produced a clearer understanding
of the potential security problems in these activities and a smoother
approach to the processing of requests in this area.
. Denied Area-Realities Briefing
A revised and updated Denied Area Realities Briefing was
prepared in coordination with Cl/CE components and experts within
the Agency. This briefing has become the authoritative guide to
would-be travelers to denied areas whose exploitation by foreign
intelligence services could jeopardize intelligence sources and
methods.
A new system was initiated under which area divisions of the
DID are routinely and quickly advised of all unofficial travel by
Agency employees into their areas of responsibility.
4. Polygraph
A debriefing program was initiated which acquires significant
feedback information from female staff employees immediately
following their polygraph interviews.

emphasis continued to be placed on providing additional and
improved protection of classified material by means of modern
safekeeping equipment, alarm systems, secure areas or vaults,
adequate destruction capability and all aspects of proper handling
of classified material.
Near East Crisis
Security support during the Near East crisis was provided
to NE and AT Divisions regarding existing physical security
safeguards and destruction capabilities at stations and bases in
the critical area. A program was established to interview
returning evacuees from the crisis area to identify all security
problems encountered during the emergency period. At the
present time, data is being compiled with regard to the present
status of equipment, the volume of classified material on hand
and the estimated destruction time, in order to determine the
current security posture of stations affected and to enable Head-
quarters to reconstitute classified material and destruction
equipment at each post. Stations which were completely evacuated
and those which became susceptible to physical and technical
penetration due to reduced personnel and/or physical damage
are being thoroughly inspected by Headquarters security personnel.

Overseas Invests ations
In November 1966, a Book Dispatch was sent too selected stations
and bases throughout the world, soliciting detailed information re-
garding available sources of information and other investigative assets
and capabilities within the scope of operations of these stations and
bases. Information resulting from this questionnaire has enabled the
scheduling of more realistic overseas investigations and has eliminated
the levying of investigative requirements not able to be fulfilled.
