1. rTearly a year ago CIA significantly tightened controls
on the National Intelligence Daily. Retention was
allowed only for 4R hours; individuals who had not
returned past copies received a letter from the nCI and
visit from CIA's Office of Security until all copies
were accounted for. We have continued this monitoring.
5. These efforts will have some impact over time in
reducing some leaks and unauthorized access to sensitive
assessments. But these or even more stringent methods
cannot solve or even begin to address the leaks problem.
6. It is a fact that many of the most damaging, leaks come
from senior officials who "know not what they do" in
terms of endangering both human source lives and multi-
hillion dollar collection systems. We could cut
dissemination of many documents to fewer than a dozen
copies and you in this room all know that the leaks
would not stop.
7. we must augment limits on dissemination with dual
program of education of senior policymakers as to the
damage they do but also measures that will enahl.e us to
carry out more successful investigations of leaks and
punishment of those responsible -- regardless of their
position.
