MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Executive and Planning Division
THROUGH . Deputy Director of Security
for Personnel Security
SUBJECT . Office of Security Significant
Accomplishments - FY 1969
1. In accordance with your request of 7 August 1969, the
following items are suggested for inclusion in Subject report to the
DDS as the significant accomplishments of the Personnel Security
Division:
A. Post-Polygraph Interview Program: In January
1967 this Division initiated a new program with regard
to the entrance on duty processing of young female appli-
cants under twenty-five years of age. Immediately after
the polygraph interview of a young girl, she is inter-
viewed by a PSD lady representative in order to (a) spot
and neutralize serious post-polygraph anxiety; (b) supply
an attractive and mature woman to whom the interviewee
might confide if the technical interview ended on an un-
satisfactory note from her standpoint; and (c) provide
a useful feedback mechanism for polygraph examiners to
learn interviewee's reaction to polygraph testing. Al-
though the main thrust of this program is directed towards
forestalling any adverse feeling that the applicant may
have regarding what could be construed as an invasion of
privacy, there have been numerous worthwhile side benefits
from a personnel security standpoint. To date 2,271 girls
between 17 and 25 years of age have been interviewed under
this program.
B. Personnel Security Program for Consultants and
Private Contractors: Steps are being taken to develop a

program for tighter security controls to ensure that only
currently approved consultants and private contractors
are allowed access to Agency buildings. To accomplish
this, a security review of all consultant files has been
made, and recommendations are now being studied for ex-
panding field investigative coverage on cases involving
Government char force and maintenance personnel, as well
as certain private contractors who require entrance to
Agency installations. In line with this tighter personnel
screening, the Agency Reinvestigation Program was expanded
to include General Services Administration employees,
Government Services Incorporated employees, Contract Type
"A" employees, and Industrial Contractor's employees per-
forming at the Top Secret level.
C. Security Coordination with Medical and Personnel
Staffs: Within the last year there has been a significant
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 em-
ployees. 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, Medi-
cal, 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).
D. Personnel Security Guidance and Counselling: A
conscious and concerted effort is being made to provide
increased assistance and counselling to Agency employees
at all levels, with particular attention being directed
to young female employees who have recently arrived in
the Metropolitan D. C. area and have encountered personal
problems with inherent security ramifications. Considera-
tion is being given to providing these new employees with a
special personnel security briefing which would highlight
recent patterns and trends. The thrust of this program
would be to prevent the development of significant diffi-
culties by candidly discussing recent factual personnel
security cases.
E. Polygraph Program for Office of Training Language
Instructors: During the last fiscal year arrangements were

made with the Office of Training so that all new language
instructors would be informed at the time of initial em-
ployment interview that standard personnel security pro-
cessing would include a polygraph examination. In cases
involving language instructors who have been affiliated
with the Agency for a number of years, a program has
been initiated to (a) acquire complete updated personal
history data, (b) schedule supplemental field investiga-
tions, and (c) consider the advisability of polygraph
interview on an individual case basis.
F. Staff and Contract Employees Assigned Overseas:
Within the last year significant 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. Like-
wise, when Security records reveal that an Agency em-
ployee 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 risk-of-capture briefings.
G. Personnel Security Program for Assignees to the
National Photographic Interpretation Center (EPIC): A
study of the security program at NPIC was initiated in
recent months in order to more clearly identify Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) XX-4 assignees and ensure that
all of these individuals have met the CIA security criteria.
The security files of all DIA XX-4 personnel have been re-
viewed, and the record has been appropriately documented
as to the nature, extenf and basis for all clearances.

J. Prepared detailed charts to show Agency investiga-
tive requirements for all categories of support-type cases
in all major programs, i.e. Facility Access Program Indus-
trial Security Program, and the Pro-
gram. These charts are designed to afford a ready reference
for professional personnel scheduling investigations and
appraising cases, thereby insuring that investigative re-
quirements are complied with in all cases.
K. Conducted appropriate studies and made recommenda-
tions for expanding field investigative coverage and re-
quiring fingerprints on all non-government char and main-
tenance personnel working in Agency Buildings. A recom-
mendation for obtaining field coverage on Industrial
Security Secret type cases is also under consideration.
Approval and implementation of these recommendations
should result in better security safeguards in the areas
affected.
L. In conjunction with the Office of Personnel, re-
vised the procedure for processing Form 1152, Request for
Personnel Action, through issuance of OPM 20-60-L+, which
clarifies types of actions requiring Office of Security
prior approvals and decreases the duplication of files
pulled by approximately 5,000 security folders per annum.
M. Instituted a program, in cooperation with Com-
partmented Information Branch/SR&CD, for converting
date of last background investigation into Julian
calendar date and placing such date on Form 2018a re-
garding special clearance approvals.

ties", to include recent Agency policy and procedures re-
lated to public appearances and writing for publication.
P. Revised "Risk of Hijacking in Commercial
Air Travel", to prove e employees with the benefit of hi-
jacking experiences and guidance related to this threat.
Q. Expanded liaison with other U. S. Government "crank"
mail offices to facilitate the handling of this Agency's in-
take of that type of material.
R. Compartmented the responsibility for handling cancel-
lation notices received from the Office of Personnel within
the Preliminary Review Section to provide for expeditious
notification to investigative field offices.

S. Placed into operation the Department of Defense
Central Index telecommunications link with SR&CD which
initiates those checks by SR&CD through PRS rather than
T. Initial processing has been completed concerning
the Applicant Review Panel Project. Statistical data has
been compiled from Office of Security records for the past
five years to permit further study and evaluation. This
Project probably will extend into FY 1971 due to low
priority nature.
