MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT Cooperation between the DCI Security
Staff and the Operations Center
REFERENCE Your DDA 76-4223, dated 23 August 1976
1. I have your Memorandum for the Record regarding the
matter of information coordination and completely agree with
its theme, particularly since it appears that Agency aircraft
will be getting even more use in the future. I have only one
point that concerns me, though it is largely semantical. In
paragraph 3 where you summarize the essentiality of cooperation
between ourselves and the Security people you use the abbre-
viation "SDO" to mean the Security Duty Officer which is the
same abbreviation we use for our Senior Duty Officer. This is
a long standing and well known abbreviation frequently used
by the Agency's substantive analysts and senior officials
when referring to ray "point man" in the Operations Center.
Thus, I fear confusion will arise if we both continue to use
the same letters.
2. I have no ready solution except to suggest that in
abbreviating the Security Duty Officer you might want to use
something like SECDO. I fear ours is too ingrained to change.
Chief, CIA Operations Center
