SUBJ: PRACTICE DANGEROUS TO SECURITY U
REF: (A) NIE 11-3/8-83 VOL 2
n.,a uc~arcrccu o1A GlA GUUK1tK 1N A SEALED ON
3 AUG TO AN UNAUTHORIZED RECIPIENT. DOCUMENT WAS FROM CPAS
CIA HQTRS, RM 7G07; CIA DOCUMENT RECEIPT/COURIER NBR
DATED 8-3-83 APPLIES. PACK ADDRESSED TO AF ACS/I. ROOM
4A~,,,, 932; BUT DELIVERED TO 4A 118 WHICH IS AF IN'S COLLATERAL REGIS-
TB,Y,.. UNA T D ISCLOSURE OCCURRED AS THE PACKAGE WAS
PHYSICALLY OPENED IN 4A932.
2. (U) REF (B) NOTED SIMILAR INCIDENT ON 27 JUL. SUBSEQUENT TO
THAT INCIDENT, AN INDIVIDUAL FROM THE OFFICE OF THE DDI (RM 7E47)
CALLED THIS OFFICE AND REQUESTED THE CORRECT POUCH ADDRESS. DIS-
CUSSION AT THAT TIME INDICATED THAT THE DIA COMPARTMENTED ADDRESS
BOOK, WHICH WE REFERENCED IN REF (B), WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO
CIA/OFFICE OF THE DDI AND THAT REQUESTS FOR COPIES WERE NOT FAVOR-
ABLY APPROVED BY DIA. ,
3. (U) SECOND INCIDENT HIGHLIGHTS THE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR IMPROVED
SCI ADMINISTRATIVE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ALL OF US. REQUEST DIA
FORWARD APPROPRIATE COPIES OF DIA COMPARTMENTED ADDRESS BOOK TO
CIA FOR INTERNAL USE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT. WE HAVE
PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED SCI MATERIAL FROM CIA MISADDRESSED. THIS
MATERIAL WAS INTENDED FOR AIR FORCE ORGANIZATIONS NOT PROTECTED
FOR BY AFSSO USAF, BUT WHICH ARE LISTED IN THE DIA COMPARTMENTED
ADDRESS BOOK. THIS DELAYED RECEIPT BY THE INTENDED RECIPIENT IM-
POSED AN ADDED ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN ON OUR PERSONNEL.
4. (U) WE STAND READY TO ASSIST IN FORWARDING SCI MATERIAL, BUT
BELIEVE EXISTING COURIER SYSTEMS PROVIDE MOST EXPEDITIOUS AND SECURE
MEANS FOR TRANSFERRING SCI MATERIAL. TWO EVENTS WITHIN ONE
WEEK ALSO SUGGEST AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS SECURITY
INCIDENT.
5. (U) AS WITH REF (B), WE MUST EMPHASIZE THE ONLY OFFICE AUTHORIZED
TO RECEIPT FOR SCI MATERIAL FOR THE AIR STAFF I~ S THE H USeF
SPECIAL SECURITY OFF7CF (Rn-dFi1 Tuc oc~iTAGON PASSING
INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON BOTH THE RECEIPT AND PACKAGE.
THE ASSISTANCE OF ALL CONCERNED WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
6. (U) PLEASE NOTE ALSO THAT REF (A) WAS ADDRESSED TO MGEN JOHN
MARKS. CURRENT ACS/I IS MGEN J~(+yES C p_~ F~~ MGEN MARK IS NOW
C~JfAIQDER OF ELECTRONIC SECURITY COMMAND, SAN ANTONIO, TX.
7. (U) POC IS MAJ RICHARD VIAU, SSO HQ USAF, GREY 220 OR COMM
695-5330.
