7. Editorial.

mended to conform with limits of current laws.

of college education to the past 15 years and for high school

on recent findings by the Working Group that education sources
rank very low relative to other sources of investigative
information.
18. Editorial change to reflect a more descriptive term.
19. To 'place added emphasis on developed sources of older
information without decreasing emphasis on an individual's recent
past.
20. Previously approved by SECOM in June 1981. The 5-year
period of coverage is reduced to one year in order to provide
better continuity of an individual's activities and behavior
patterns.
21. To provide more investigative flexibility.

24. Previously approved by SECOM in June 1981. As in
Item 8, the requirement to check criminal files of the FBI is
necessary to assist an adjudicator in properly evaluating the
relationship of a spouse or cohabitant to the SCI nominee.
25. Previously approved by SECOM in June 1981. The phrase
clarifies the fact that appropriate investigation may be extended
to all provisions of paragraph 5b.
26. Previously approved by SECOM in June 1981. Annex A
expands on this paragraph.
27. To clarify that paragraphs 11 and 12 refer specifically
to paragraph 10.
28. Editorial.
'29. To make the personal interview mandatory when an SIO
determines the necessity to authorize SCI access prior to
completion of the fully prescribed investigation.
30. To add an opportunity for investigative personnel to
conduct the personal interview of a nominee.
31. To flag individuals who have not yet been fully inves-
tigated and adjudicated under DCID 1/14 standards. Organizations
to which such individuals are being certified will thus be
alerted of that fact so that appropriate. controls may be applied
to information which is made available.
32. Editorial.
33. Clarity. To distinguish paragraph 13 and 14 reinvesti-
gations from the type of reinvestigation in paragraph 12..
34. To eliminate the footnote as redundant.
35. To provide explicit instructions.
36. To provide the SIO with more flexibility to expand the

37. Editorial.
38. New paragraph is added as road map to Annex B.
39. In 1980 the SECOM published "Minimum Standards for s~
Security Awareness Programs in the U.S. Intelligence Community."
Paragraphs 17 and 1a refer to that publication. It has been
"dressed up" as an SCI document and attached as Annex C. The
Investigative Standards Working Group believes that such an
arrangement will provide a closer tie of security awareness
standards to DCID 1/14 through the DCI's endorsement. This
recommendation has been made at the request of the Security
Awareness Working Group.
40. -Editorial.
41. Editorial.
42. Editorial.
43. Editorial.
44. To provide more flexibility for adjudicators. This
addition should permit the adjudicator to bridge the grey area
between security and suitability problems concerning an SCI
norninge's employers.
