MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Security (PPS)
SUBJECT : Action Memorandum No. c17

1. Information has been received from
Office of Personnel, via to the effect that
the Office of Personnel is about to issue amendments to
which will have the effect of tightening up the reporting require-
ments on returnees from PCS tours of duty. From the fragments
of information available it appears, therefore, that the job we had
in mind doing pursuant to Action Memorandum No` '7Zmay not be
necessary. The Office of Personnel may be handling it for us.
2. Accordingly, y are asked to suspend action on
Action Memorandum No. 29until we receive from the Office of
Personnel a draft of the proposed amendments for coordination.

Memorandum
Deputy Director of Security (PPS) DATE:25 November 1963
FROM :Chief, Personnel Security Division
SUBJECT: Controlling Private Foreign Travel
1. This memorandum concerns Action Memorandum No.
27 (deadline: 2 December 1963) which in turn relates to
that portion of the recent IG survey on personnel security
which dealt with reporting controls on employees returning
from overseas assignments. Action Memorandum No. 27 is
attached.
2. While the instant problem is relatively small it
may be informative and useful to review some of our prior
efforts on the larger problem. With this thought in mind,
we have attached copies of the following:
a. A C/PSD memorandum of 2 November 1960
on the subject of where our people are;
b. A dated 28 October
1960 on Leave Travel; and
c. A D/SEC memorandum of 29 November 1960
commenting on a., above.
3. These papers led to a draft Regulation which was
not considered favorably in the office of the DD/S. Instead,
other existing regulations were revised to provide for the
following:
a. Supervisors were required to keep advised
of their employees whereabouts and employees were
required to keep their supervisors informed.
b. Similar requirements were levied on supervisors
and employees while the latter were in a leave state.
c. Supervisors and employees were required to
obtain and to adhere to, respectively, itineraries
and dates of travel.

-L The Regulations now, however, are rather weak
on the way they put the desired messa e across. One
sentence statements are contained in They are:
a. Operating Officials shall "ensure that
all supervisors under their jurisdiction keep
informed of the whereabouts of their employees
who are on leave", and
b. "Each employee shall"--- "keep his
supervisor informed of his whereabouts while
on leave".
5. Obviously something more has to be said and
something more has to be done than issue vague policy
pronouncements or, as was above, to leave the problem
to only one component such as the DD/P Directorate.
The problem is not essentially a security problem;
instead it is basically a management problem with adverse
effects on security when there is mismanagement. All
four Directorates are involved as well as the independent
offices. They all have people traveling and they all have
people who want to engage in private travel while on
official travel.
6. It would appear that the best way to handle this
is to make it clearly a matter of personnel management or
supervision. To do this we have prepared for signature
the attached memorandum to the Director of Personnel.
