e. The Office of Security and the FBI are repre-
sented on the USIB Security Committee by members from their
respective organizations. This requires at least monthly
meetings between representatives of the two organizations.
quarters of the FBI. This liaison involves the sharing ot
information concerning counterintelligence matters of mutual
and joint concern. In addition, Office of Security name
checks are conducted on individuals of interest to the FBI
and=where information is located on these individuals the
FBI is provided with a formal response. The FBI continues
to have direct access to a KGB defector for whom the Office
of Security serves as the focal point for access.
h. The vast majority of business handled between
the Personnel Security and Investigations Directorate (PSI)
of the Office of Security and FBI liaison officers relates
to expedite name checks. PSI receives and responds to
requests from the Bureau in situations where time is of the
essence. Similarly, this Office will levy its own name
check requirements in those cases where there is some
urgency. PSI also handles all fingerprint cards on staff
applicants, contractors, employees, and industrial-type
cases. As a standard procedure, PSI receives and processes
Bureau reports on terrorism and impersonation matters.

i. The PSI Directorate also serves as the focal
point in the handling of personnel security problem cases
where there is FBI interest or jurisdiction because of the
possible violation of federal statutes.
3. None of the above activities contradict the intent
or letter of the proposed Executive Order establishing
restrictions on intelligence activity or the proposed
NSCID No. 9, relative to the CIA foreign intelligence and
clandestine operations affecting U. S. citizens. Further-
more, the continuance of these activities is vital to the
Office of Security if it is to continue to fulfill its
responsibility to the CIA. If NSCID No. 9 is issued as
proposed, it might be necessary to establish liaison with
more senior officials of the Bureau, particularly in the
field of approved electronic surveillance and support to
the FBI in carrying out its responsibilities as they relate
to foreign intelligence and counterintelligence against
foreign nationals.
