MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Robert W. Gambino
Chairman of the DCI Security Committee
DCI/ICS 78-1193
16 October 1978
Chief, Community Security Group
Executive Secretary of the DCI Security Committee
Acting Director, Policy Guidance Office
SUBJECT: Input to the DCI's Annual Report II
1. Preparation of the DCI's Annual Report for calendar year 1978,
due to the President and the Congress by 25 January 1979, is now under way.
The DCI has approved a concept for 'this year's Annual Report which is more
selective than last year's, both because this seems more appropriate to a
1978 characterized by attention to key intelligence issues rather than the
comprehensive report approach used for 1977 as a year of extensive community
restructuring, and also to limit length for a busy reader to a manageable
30-40 pages (last year's ran 80 plus). The DCI has also approved an outline
for this year's report (Attachment 1). Part I is designed to allow the DCI
to highlight the particular characteristics and emphases of 1978 in intelli-
gence; Part II is intended to air several issues of great importance to him,
his key Executive users, and the Congress. The Annual Report will.carry
a high classification and receive extremely limited distribution.
2. ~4Additionally, in a 15 September 1978 letter from Chairman Boland
of the H to the DCI (Attachment 3), six special subjects are specified
for coverage in this year's Annual Report to the President and the Congress.
The DCI has agreed in an interim response. Topic 6 request is for "Identi-
fication of all unauthorized disclosures of classified information together
with damage assessments and steps taken as a result; i.e., administrative,
prosecution, etc." We would appreciate your taking the lead in staffing out
25X1
this particular request to NFIB agencies as appropriate, and integrating their
inputs into a single response for the HPSCI. It will probably be appropriate
to highlight this topic briefly in the text of the Annual Report, appending
your full report to the HPSCI's copy of the Annual Report. The HPSCI staff
indicates this arrangement would be satisfactory.
3. II You will note that there is considerable, although not total,
overlap bbettween this congressional topic of interest and sections 2, Leaks,

and 3, Other security measures; e.g., implementation of security measures, and
in the Security and Counterintelligence Issues section of the DCI s Annual Report
outline. We request specific CSG/Security Committee input on these two Annual
Report topics.
4. 1I With respect to leaks, what we hope to convey in the Annual Report
itself is an overview perspective on the nature of the several kinds of
security problems resulting in leaks via ex-intelligence authors, discussion
of classified data with the media, etc.; their multiple causes; the elusive-
ness of real remedies; and steps under way to try to control their incidence
and seriousness. Key examples from 1978 experience should be cited illustra-
tively, rather than the comprehensive catalogue required for the HPSCI.
5. LI With respect to the related matter of changes in CIA and community 25x1
security measures, please comment on:
a. how the implementation of the industrial contract security
measures recommended in the February 1978 final report of the Task
Force on Industrial Contracts and Security is going;
b. reasons for, and results of, the initial implementation phase
of new security procedures for control of classified documents
entering and exiting buildings under DCI control;
c. work and interim findings of the CIA Security Review Task
Force.
6. We are asking I SA/DCI/CI, to organize input
for the Annual Report on sections 1, Espionage, and 4, New directions in
the foreign counterintelligence program, of the Security and Counter-
intelligence Issues section of the Annual Report outline, as well as on the
HPSCI task 2, hostile foreign intelligence activities. Obviously this
division is somewhat arbitrary; he may well see fit to contact you for input
on those matters, or you may wish to volunteer input either through his.
office or directly.

7. is responsible for producing
this year's UU1 Annual Report. Please identity a principal point of contact
for her to work with. We shall need all the overview comments for outline
sections E.2. and 3. by COB 6 November, in order to accomplish integrated
drafting of the entire Annual Report in November, review in December, and DCI
clearance and production in January. If the CIA Security Review Task Force
appears likely to meet its 1 December reporting target, interim comment by
6 November with fuller findings the first week in December would be appropriate.
