Honorable William J. Casey
Director, Central Intelligence Agency
Langley, Virginia 20505
Dear Mr. Casey:
During an Interagency Conference on January 13, 1983, it was recommended
that all U.S. Government employees traveling to foreign countries receive
a defensive security briefing. We have decided to implement that recom-
mendation, since our analysis reveals that our employees have visited 94
different countries since last June. In keeping with our desire to ensure
proper conduct and to create the best impression possible, we wish to inform
our travelers of as much information as is humanly possible prior to depar-
ture.
It should be recognized that the interests of this agency are many faceted,
and require a great deal of technical and scientific exchange that includes
many Cooperative Agreements with foreign countries. Our executives and
staff attend numerous conferences and meetings of technical, scientific, or
resource oriented nature.
In our effort to provide current usable information, it is requested that
your agency provide a summary situation report for each of the nations in-
cluded in the enclosed list, supplemented with information available from
your resources on any city/geographical areas in these countries. We are
particularly interested in terrorism, anti-U.S. attitudes, drug related
problems, criminal activities, and civil/military unrest.
Please be advised that any information provided will be maintained in a safe
and secure area under the guidance of the Department Security Officer, and
access will be in keeping with your security instructions. It is our
intention to establish a selective and secure country file system, permitting
thorough briefings to top executives and general country briefings to lesser
employees, unless there is a technical/scientific overriding need.
Please contract Mr. James F. Smith, Department Security Officer, at 343-5111
should you have any questions regarding our program.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Smoak,
Chief, Division of Enforcement and
Security Management
