SIGNIFICANT EVFNTS AND ACTIVITIES OF INTEREST
1. DeCLASSIFICATION OF WARNINGS HANDTIOOK. a
warning expert retired from DIA is trying for the third time to obtain
CIA's approval to declassify a SECRET warnings handbook that she wrote
for training new analysts in the 1970s. The Agency has twice denied her
request. The Classification Review Division, the NIO for Warning, and
the DoD Public Affairs Office have agreed that the handbook would be of
significant value to an enemy planning a surprise attack on the United
States. Unfortunately, DIA has decided to support request
and the latest version, reduced from 29 to 12 chapters, was accompanied
by a letter from the Director, DIA, stating the belief that the handbook
in its present form should be declassified. who was once
supervisor at the National Warning Center, is reviewing the
latest version for CRD.

3. ISO? TASK FORCE. The Deputy Director of Information Services;
Chief, Policy and Plans Group, Office of Security; and representatives
from the Information Management Branch attended the first meeting of the
Joint CIA/Air Force Task Force on Information Security Oversight Office
initiatives to control the overdistribution of classified information.
(Please refer to the OIS Weekly Report dated 1 August 1985.) As a result
of the meeting, OIS will assemble an Agency working group of representa-
tives from the four directorates to draft an initiatives paper for
discussion at the next Task Force meeting. The Air Force will take
similar action.
4. SUGGESTION TO CHANGE CORRESPONDENCE FORMAT. Two members of the
Regulatory Policy Division reviewed a suggestion submitted by a DO
division chief to change the format for internal Agency correspondence as
STAT contained in In their evaluation they
STAT pointed out that is the result of an Agency-wide effort to bring
consistency to the preparation of correspondence and documentation and
reflects the coordinated views of the Agency's senior secretaries as
approved by senior Agency management. Moreover, standardizing the format
is a means of increasing both readability of the product and in assisting
secretaries and typists in document preparation. In addition, they
pointed out that the format offered in the suggestion would take no less
time or effort to prepare than the present format and would not offer the
same degree of readability.
5. INFORMATION AND PRIVACY DIVISION ACTIVITIES. The backlog of
initial requests has been further reduced to 2161. Among the more

Information Mana7ement Branch
Data Center
Management Division, Office of Information Technology (OIT), to
discuss proposed changes for improving OIT's control over
"permanent" (indefinite retention) magnetic tapes. OIT wants to
prevent unnecessary creation of permanent tapes; reduce tape
retention periods; promote greater involvement of component
Records Management Officers (RMO) in managing electronic
records; and enhance existing controls over magnetic tapes.
Under OIT's proposed plan, which grew out of earlier discussions
with IMB representatives, users would no longer be allowed to
create permanent tapes and would have to justify through their
component RMO the retention of tapes beyond one year. OIT would
like to implement this plan on 1 October 1985 ot yet
