The full Committee did not meet in March. At the request of the DCID 1/2
Committee, the EIC has begun to review a new DCID 1/2 topic on the economic
policy process. The Committee will examine this proposal at its April
meeting. Proposed country priorities for the new topic subsequently will be
determined using DCID 1/2 priorities on other economic issues to ensure that
the new priorities are consistent. I will be asking analysts at CIA to make
the initial determination of priorities on the economic policy topic for
subsequent review in May by EIC departments and agencies.

Foreign Language Committee Monthly Report - March 1985
1,I lof the FLC staff assisted the FBI in designing
proficiency guidelines for assessing translation skills of FBI personnel.
This is an ongoing project which addresses a hitherto neglected aspect of
assessing foreign language skills. is also working with the CIA
language school in revising its Swedish and Danish Reading Proficiency Tests.
2. We have continued discussions with CIA and the four uniformed services
(Army., Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps) to ascertain the capabilities of
their retirees and reservists in the native languages of Africa, Asia, and the
Middle East with specific references to those countries in which instabiliy
may require additional US intelligence collection and/or military
intervention. Although this is a slow process, we are encouraged by the
cooperation we are receiving and the efforts of the military to refine their
data bases and Provide us with timely information on cleared and tested
25X1 personnel.

NSDD/145
The National Telecommunications and Information Systems Security
Committee's (NTISSC) Subcommittee on Automated Information Systems Security
(SAISS) has developed the first annual report on the security status of
automated systems in the Federal Government. The SAISS report contains
several recommendations for government-wide action. One of the first
recommendations is to: (a) identify "critical systems" within the Federal
Government and (b) establish these as a priority to assess the security risks
under which they may be operating and correct any security shortfalls which
may exist. The report, originally produced at the TS/SI/TK level, has been
sanitized to the Top Secret collateral level and now, per direction of Mr. Don
Latham, to the Secret level. All TS/SI/TK information has been removed from
the Secret version. In addition, an annual assessment of the status of
security of telecommunications systems has been produced at the Secret level
by the Subcommittee on Telecommunications Security (STS). The SAISS and STS
reports have been combined by the NTISSC Secretariat and will be published as
a single report. According to NTISSC Secretariat Staff members, Don Latham
intends to forward this combined report to the NSDD-145 cabinet level steering
group during the middle of May 1985. (The NSDD-145 Systems Steering Group is
chaired by the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and
consists of the DCI, the SECDEF, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State,
the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the Secretary of the
Treasury.) The combined report has not yet been released for review and
comment.
The SAISS has also created four working groups: (1) an NSA-chaired group,
which is planning and gathering data to develop a second annual report on the
status of the security of automated information systems in the Federal
Government, which is due -in the fall of 1985; (2) an OMB-chaired group, which
is identifying budgetary data that OMB indicates it will collect, based upon
thindirection which NSDD-145 gives OMB; (3) a National Bureau of Standards
chaired group, which is reviewing the Federal Goverment's automated

information system security criteria, guidelines, and standards and which is
tasked with recommending to the NSDD-145 organizations that new criteria,
guidelines, or standards be promulgated via NTISS issuances; and (4) a policy
working group which has been given a general charter and is reviewing proposed
policies on automated information systems security and which is tasked to
recommend to the SAISS appropriate policies that NTISS issuances should
promulgate. IC Staff, CIA and DIA SAISS representatives sit on working
STAT groups 1 and 3. IC Staff, coordinates with 0MB on working
group 2 activities. Membership for working group 4 has not been announced
since it has just recently been formed.
NATO Formats
The NATO Allied Data Services Interoperability Agency (ADSIA) Working
Group No. 7 held a meeting in Brussels on 25-28 March. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss the possibilities for harmonizing information formats
STAT within the NATO environment. (IHC Executive Secretary)

whose goal is to try to ensure that, if any NATO formats are developed, they
STAT are compatible with existing US DOD formats.) who coordinates the
work of the IHC Subcommittee on Formats Standards, attended in order to ensure
that the US position would also be in conformity to the DCI promulgated
Intelligence Community format standards.
Video Disc-Based Maps
The Geographic Information Systems Subcommittee (GISS) met to consider
progress on the development of Intelligence Community standards for video disc
based geographic information systems. It was reported that the Defense
Mapping Agency (DMA) signed a contract with Perceptronics Inc. to produce a
new DMA product line of video disc based maps. Over the next two and one half
years, DMA will produce approximately 50 discs to cover most of the world for
STAT which maps exist. (IHC) coordinated the Intelligence
Community's requirements for video disc based maps and supported DMA by
assisting in the writing of the SOW and the technical evaluation of the
contractor proposals. Based upon the DMA statement of work as coordinated
with the GISS, proposed Intelligence Community standards and guidelines for
video disc production have been drafted and circulated for comments. The
draft has now been rewritten based upon comments received and will again be
circulated for review and comments.
A final version of video disc standards will then be proposed
incorporating the data base definition which is the first contractor
deliverable under the DMA contract. At this point, it will be referred to the
IHC for review and adoption as an Intelligence Community standard. DMA
reported that action was underway to designate DMA as the responsible agency
for promulgation of DOD video disc standards. It is anticipated that the IHC
developed standards will be utilized as the basis for the proposed DOD

standards, and that these will be then submitted to the National Bureau of
Standards as proposed national standards. It was also reported that NSA had
let a contract for the production of a set of video discs covering the
principal areas of interest of the Soviet Union not contained in the DMA
production contract. Production standards under this contract will follow the
Intelligence Community draft standards and the DMA contract specifications in
order that there will be compatibility between the two sets of discs being
produced. The IHC staff will monitor the execution of these two contracts to
ensure compatibility.
Japanese Machine-Assisted Translations
It has been previously decided to proceed with a Japanese MAT project
based upon the Systran system if possible. To continue this approach requires
the consent of IONA, a Japanese corporation which has been granted certain
rights by its developer, Dr. Toma, to a Japanese version of the Systran
STAT System. Vice Chairman/IHC, has scheduled a meeting in
Tokyo with appropriate 1UNA officials and Dr. Toma in April to negotiate and
secure the required consent. Preparations for these negotiations are being
coordinated with the Ad Hoc Steering Group on Japanese MAT with
representatives of the HUMINT Committee, the FLC Committee and FBIS.
Should it prove impossible to secure the consent of IONA on terms
satisfactory to the government, alternative plans will be developed.
STAT In connection with this project, visited Eastern Computers,
Inc., a Virginia Beach-based company which has developed Japanese/Chinese word
processor and data entry terminal capabilities for the purpose of evaluating
this corn ct as a possible data entry device for a Japanese MAT
STAT system. was accompanied by a representative of FBIS. Based on
this evaluation, acquisition of a demonstration model for in-depth evaluation
by FBIS is being proposed.
Community Information Retrieval System (CIRS)
STAT Common User Interface: under contract to the IHC
Staff, compete the "user" specifications for the Common User Interface (CUI)
that will be developed on the FTD computer under the CIRS plan. NSA will
provide the initial processing capabilities under Phase I of the CIRS plan and
FTD will provide the second phase of the effort starting in mid-1986. The
"user" interface specifications that the MITRE report developed were the
result of several months review of automated systems used in private industry,
the COINS network common user interface, the DODIIS network common user
interface, the SAFE common user interface (i.e., the SAFE user language), and
the user interfaces currently used or proposed for the systems in the
Community which the CIRS plan includes. The results of this effort were that
none of the "common user interface" developments are in fact common.
Intelligence analysts in many segments of the Community will have access to
many of the same automated systems and will continue to have to learn multiple

computer languages to get access to intelligence data bases. In those cases
where progress is being made to provide the user with a common user interface
(i.e., COINS ADAPT and DIA DODIIS NQL) the user interfaces for each network as
now specified will be different and these different user interfaces will be
developed for computers that botWetworks will access (e.g., the NSA SOLIS
system). These developments are still in their formative stages. If
feasible, joint use of the SAFE user interface language would be an ideal
solution to the multiple language problem. However, evaluation of this
potential solution has necessarily had to be postponed until the SAFE user
language structure has been defined. When this has been accomplished, the IHC
will be asked to review these parallel development projects and evaluate the
feasibility of adopting the SAFE user language as a common user interface
standard.
In an effort to provide an interim solution to this long evident problem,
the IHC has agreed to proceed with the development of a SOLIS-like user
interface on the FTD system. Since NSA now provides SIGINT and STATE cables
on its computer with a common SOLIS-like user interface, the SOLIS-like user
interface at FTD will provide the intelligence analysts that access the data
bases identified under the CIRS plan with a common capability that can be used
whether he is accessing the SIGINT or STATE data on the NSA system or the open
source S&T material on the FTD system. The IHC will have to deal with the
common user interface problem for the DIA SAFE, the NPIC system, and the CIA
SAFE system if the CIRS plan is fully implemented.
Joint Maritime Information Element (JMIE)
A meeting of the JMIE System Design. Working Group was held on 26 March for
the purpose of reviewing a draft statement of work preparatory to contracting
for development of a system design and cost estimate. Funding for the
contract is being provided by participating agency subscription ($25K
apiece). The system design and cost estimate will provide the basis for a
determination by participating agency principals as to whether or not to
proceed with full implementation beginning in FY87.
JMIE is a consortium of government agencies whose missions require the
acquisition and use of information (both intelligence and open source)
pertaining to activities in the maritime regions of the world. Because there
is a substantial overlap of requirements, the agencies have come together
under the sponsorship of the Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI) to seek an
effective joint approach to meeting their needs. At the DNI's request, the
DCI authorized ICS to serve as coordinator for the development effort.
Consortium members, in addition to the Navy (NAVINTCOM), are DEA, DOE, USCG,
Customs, CIA, MARAD, and the Military Sealift Command.
The design to be contracted is for a data handling system to interconnect
consortium member facilities and provide an interchange with the Navy's Ocean
Surveillance Information System.

COINS/DODIIS
Representatives of COINS, DODIIS and the IHC staff met in March, together
with technical consultants for all parties, to further define the architecture
of the programmed gateways between the two networks and the security
requirements for interoperability of the networks. MITRE presented an
architectural concept for interactive gateways between compartmented
networks. Representatives of all parties agreed that this concept could
provide the basis for the COINS/DODIIS gateway design. Technical consultants
for the parties were instructed to prepare a paper describing the application
of the MITRE concept to COINS and DODIIS and proposing a gateway architecture
and protocol implementation plan. It was agreed that an acceptable
implementation plan would provide the basis for a revised COINS/DODIIS MOU,
whereupon contractors for both networks will be instructed to implement the
plan.

I. Highlights
a. The Chairman assisted the DCI at a meeting with Attorney General
Meese, PFIAB Chairman Leo Cherne and PFIAB member Edward Williams to discuss
the leak problem and explore means to curb leaks. The Chairman briefed
attendees on several leak cases which resulted in damage to intelligence
sources and methods. As a follow-up, he provided the DDCI draft
correspondence for the DCI to send the Attorney General, PFIAB Chairman,
Director, Information Security Oversight Office, and the NFIC to implement
actions to combat leaks which were requested by the DCI after the meeting.
b. The third SECOM behavioral sciences symposium was held at CIA
Headquarters in late March for 48 participants, 18 of whom were behavioral
scientists. Three research/study proposals were briefed to attendees; -who
then met in small groups to discuss the presentations and explore
refinements. Small group leaders briefed the whole group on their findings
and prepared reports for further review by the Security Committee. The three
proposals presented and evaluated are designed to enhance the Community's
personnel security screening and selection processes.
c. SECOM members unanimously approved a draft DCID to codify policy on
technical surveillance countermeasures to provide an appropriate policy
vehicle in support of established Community practices and responsibilities
regarding TSCM. The draft was sent forward for DCI approval.

will sponsor symposia on electro-optics and radio frequency
weapons technology. We have already held a symposium on
millimeter wave technology. Perhaps our most important new
initiative of 1984 was our FORMAT pilot program. This program
gives us the opportunity to significantly improve the quality
of technology analysis by including, as a normal part of the
analysis process, technical information derived from foreign
materiel exploitation. As part of the program, we have sub-
mitted to the IPC a FORMAT PEI for 1985 ad hoc funding.

microprocessors and is equivalent to six VAX 11/780 computers.
It operates at one tenth the cost of one VAX 11/780. JPL is
currently building a hypercube type computer with a capacity of
32 megabytes of memory. This machine is equivalent to 24
VAX 11/780s or about 1/2 the capability of a Cray 1. They have
also designed a machine using 32 bit microprocessors that is
equivalent to 32 cray 1 computers.
Dr. Gene Merchant, Director, Advanced Manufacturing Research
at Metcut Research Associates Inc., briefed the Committee on
flexible manufacturing techniques. A flexible manufacturing
system consists of an integrated assembly of work stations, such
as machine tools and other equipment, together with the means
for transferring components, such as work pieces and tools,
automatically through the system, all operating under full
computer control for the purpose of carrying out manufacturing
production of a mixture of parts, or products with a minimum of
manual attention. Flexible automation provides the capability

1. The WSSIC received two briefings this months The first
briefing dealt with the problems the growth of Soviet tech-
nology and the transfer of technology have created in terms of
the collection of SIGINT. The second briefing dealt with the
Army's tentative reorganization of their intelligence
production resources.
2. The WSSIC held their Annual Planning Conference on 11-12
March. Some of the major topics of discussion were the NIE
process and WSSIC's support of it, Protection of Sources and
Methods Guidelines, and the need for continued close inter-
actions and joint projects with STIC. One outcome of the
conference was the decision to change the status of most of the
