MEMORANDUM FOR: All NFAC Office Directors, Staff Chiefs, and NZOs

SUBJECT : Sensitive Document Control
1. The attached memorandum from Mr. Carlucci directs us to
establish more effective document control procedures for specific
types of documents which have an extreme sensitivity or would re-
sult in unacceptable levels of security damage if compromised.
The type of document Mr. Carlucci has in mind is definecl in his
paragraph 3.
2. T would like each of you immediately and on a priority
basis to institute a survey of your c.omporient to identify by title
and document number those documents which you believe meet the
test of Mr. Carlucci's memorandum. These lists should be forwara.ed
to the NFAC Security Officer by 22 September.
3. The NFAC Security Officer and I will review your sub-
missions and develop standards for the special handling, account-
ability and storage procedures applicable to these documents.
It seems imperative that each component must have a system of,
personal accountabili for each such document and that these
documents must be stored separately from of er classified materials.
I want to emphasize this last point, particularly in regard to the
many vaulted areas in KFAC where it has become the practice for
all kinds of documents, classified or unclassified, to be inextricably
intermingled. Even within areas which are vaulted, the requirement
for segregated storage for materials identified in response to this
memorandum must be met.
The NFAC Security Officer, I STAT
I I should be contacted for additional information or if a
further definition of types and categories of documents is necessary.

FROM: Frank C. Carlucci
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Sensitive Document Control
I.' Because of recent events I have directed a total
and comprehensive review of all personnel security, physical
security, and information control activities in the Agency.
While this review will focus on our entire security program,
its final conclusions and -recommendations will take some
time to develop.
2. Recognizing that the results of this review may
produce significant changes in our security policies and
procedures, there are certain actions in the security area
that are being pursued immediately without waiting for the
comprehensive study to be completed. One of these actions
involves moving toward positive accountabilit for those
classified documents uniquely and especially aeservin of
tight security controls due to the breadth of their contents
or to their unusual sensitivity.
3. I hereby task each of you to revies-r immediately
your classified holdings to identify your. extraordinarily
comprehensive and sensitive materials, those obviously
warranting especially strict controls. I am talking about
that classified material, mostly Top Secret including-some
Sensitive -Compartmented Information, which by its nature, if
compromised, would be especially revealing, would have
extraordinarily adverse impact on our national security. or
which would deliver a staggerink loss o sensitive intelii eace
capability.

4. Having identified such materials Vithin your
purview I would expect you to institute immediately a syste n
of personal accountability and segregated storage for such
materials.
S. I also expect you to report to me on the actions
you have taken on this matter no later than 15 September
1978.
