installations. Review of pertinent files has been

the Agency Reinvestigation Program. These cases include
Consultants, Private Contractors, Char Force, General
Services Administration, Government Services Incorporated
employees, Contract Type A (Internal) employees, and
Industrial Contractor's employees. This Program can now
be considered an accomplished fact and fully on-line.
C. Polygraph Program for Contractor's Employees:
The past year has shown an increase in the use of
Contractor's employees in the Headquarters Building and
also in other buildings in the Headquarters area. This
increase was brought to the attention of the
committee, who had been studying the various phases of
the security of Headquarters Building. It was pointed out
to the committee, who in turn brought it to the attention
of the Director of Logistics, that Contractor's employees
who are cleared Top Secret and have Staff-like access to
the Headquarters complex require a polygraph examination
as a part of their processing. They are granted an
Industrial Security Staff Approval at the Top Secret
level (ISSA/TS). New procedures have been instituted
which require that the Director of Logistics personally
approve each and every new contract that will require the
Contractor's employee to be polygraphed. This procedure
was deemed necessary in view of the current climate in
Congress and elsewhere regarding the invasion of a
person's privacy and the rights of individuals regarding
the use of the polygraph. The Security Staff, Office of
Logistics, visits the Contractor facility, briefs a senior
company official of the polygraph requirement and obtains
permission from the company to polygraph their personnel.
D. Foreign Divorces: With regard to concern
expressed by Office of Personnel, this Division now
affords OP the names of employees who have obtained a
foreign divorce or who had a spouse who may have obtained
such a divorce. In order to protect the rights of the
employee and their dependents, OP advises the employee
that a problem may exist which could possibly involve death
benefits, insurance benefits and retirement benefits due
his dependents and heirs. It is then up to the individual
employee to satisfy himself that all is in order. It is
noted that on 17 June 1970 OP issued
entitled "Unfavorable Consequences of a Mexican
E. Security Coordination with Medical and Personnel
Staffs: Within the past year there has been a continued
increase in the amount of information developed by the

Office of Security in the area of overall suitability,
both in relation to applicants as well as old line
employees. This particularly applies to increased
evidence of dope usage by applicants. As a result
of this problem, there is an important and beneficial
trend towards a greater degree of interchange of
information between Security, Medical, and Personnel
representatives. This continuing informal exchange
dovetails with and otherwise supplements the formal
presentation of cases to the Applicant Review Panel
(ARP) and the Personnel Evaluation Board (PEB).
F. Staff and Contract Employees Assigned Overseas:
Beginning in FY 1579 policy agreements were established
with the Clandestine Services guaranteeing that Staff-
like access for Contract personnel will only go to those
employees who meet Staff standards. Likewise, when
Security records reveal that an Agency employee has been
identified in the press media, this data is passed to
the Counter-Intelligence Staff before the individual
departs for overseas. Increased emphasis has also been
placed on briefings. It is noted that
these agreements nave proven most successful. Various
components have requested advice on the clearability of
individuals being considered for assignments prior to
processing thus avoiding later conflicts.
G.. Redraft iI"Limitations on Outside
Activities". While this was accomplished in FY 1969,
the most significant change related to speeches and
publications on subject matters clearly unrelated to
foreign intelligence, national security, Agency activities,
or matters that could not be construed as official Agency or
U.S. Government policy. Such speeches and publications no
longer receive prior approval. Further, in those cases
which require prior approval the final approving authority
.is the appropriate Deputy Director or the Executive
Director-Comptroller for the requests which originate in
independent offices.
H. Revised Q "Risk of Hijacking in
Commercial Air Travel", to provide employees with the
benefit of hijacking experiences and guidance related
to this threat. This has proven quite successful in
that to date there have been no embarrassing situations
encountered.

I. Expanded and refined liaison with other
U.S. Government agencies in the area of "crank" mail.
This program has facilitated the handling of such
material, and it has been particularly effective in
those cases which reflect actual or potential threats
to White House or other U.S. Governmental officials.
J. Issued 0 "Federal Census",
initiated inquiries with Bureau of the Census which
set forth instructions and guidance for the benefit
of both domestic and overseas employees in completing
their questionnaires. The effectiveness of the
issuances is considered successful due to the dearth
of inquiries received.
