Special Briefings
4C/SPECLE II. noted that CIA's Office of Data Processing
had been asked to re-evaluate the SPECLE II system to see if it could do the
job conceived for the 4C system, and to re-cost the 4C system in current prices.
25X1 CIA, then briefed the Committee on the studies responsive to
25X1 requests. She said both systems could provide the capability to
determine if a given person had a given access, but that the current SPECLE -
system could only be queried through CIA's Compartmented Information Branch
(CIB). Several members noted problems they had obtaining current and accurate
readouts from the SPECLE system, and stated their desire for a central system
which would have sufficient capabilities to permit their agencies to give up
operating internal systems to record accesses. After further discussion, the
members unanimously agreed to support the 4C concept and system. The FBI and
Treasury representatives asked to be associated with such a recommendation.
At the request of the Army member, it was agreed that advance copies of a
memorandum forwarding this proposal to the DCI would be provided to Security
Committee members. The CIA member advised that until a new system was in
operation, he would assure members that CIB would be manned at a level to
ensure response to requests from the various agencies. He asked members to
ensure that their inputs to the current system were complete and timely.
Preliminary Comments
25X1 a. Provocation and Harassment Study. The Acting Chairman advised
that all inputs to this study had been received.
25X1 b.Proposed DCID on Administrative Handling of SCI. The Acting
Chairman ;lised that the completion of NFIB vote sheet action on this
proposed DCID was pending receipt of concurrences or comments from NSA, DIA,
and FBI.
25X1 c. Proposed DCID on Duty and Travel Restrictions. The Acting
Chairman said that the DCID had been resubmitted to NFIB for vote sheet
action because of the long period of time that had elapsed since the Board
had last considered the issue. He noted that all agencies except NSA and
Army had concurred.

ITEM 4: Preparation and Handling of Damage Assessments as a Result of

the Acting Deputy to the DCI for the Intelligence Community, who had expressed
concern about completion of a damage assessment in a particular espionage
25X1 case. noted that the Committee's charter was explicit in assigning
a major responsibility in this area. He added that, notwithstanding the
charter, there were still varying approaches within the Community on handling
compromises which should be the subjects of damage assessments. 25X1

to report what information they held bearing on given compromises. He said
