4. Meetings - There were 14 Subcommittee meetings during
1984. Subcommittee task groups working on special projects met
in eight additional sessions.
5. Major Accomplishments For 1984
a. Intelligence Community Protective Briefing on
Terrorism and Espionage - During the latter months of 1983, SAES
members became concerned about the possible threat posed by the
1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Although no hard evidence
existed of foreign intelligence or terrorist initiatives, SAES
members felt a protective briefing on terrorism and espionage
should be given to all SCI cleared personnel who planned to
attend. On 9 April the SAES completed and forwarded to the SECOM
a final draft of a defensive security briefing for the 1984
Summer Games. The SECOM staff made minor modifications to the
draft and published it under the title "Intelligence Community
Protective Briefing on Terrorism and Espionage." The SECOM
modifications broadened the usefulness of the briefing by making
it applicable to all internationally attended events in the
United States where targeting by foreign intelligence or
terrorist groups is a possibility.
b. Catalog of Security Awareness Materials - In 1983
the SAES established a need for a central reference catalog with
current listings of security awareness materials and personnel.
A Subcommittee task force, appointed in November 1983 and headed
by the DSI members, worked for months collecting and assimilating
security awareness data from all member departments/agencies into
a draft catalog. In September 1984 a final draft package was
forwarded to the SECOM for review and approval. Although the
document was returned in December for minor revisions, final
approval and publication are expected in early 1985. The title
of the document will be "Security Awareness and Education
Handbook: People and Products."
c. Security Educator's Seminar - The SAES's first
"Security Educator's Seminar" was held from 26 to 30 November

1994 at the Department of Energy, Germantown, MD. Seventy-five
security educators from 15 departments and agencies, assigned
throughout the United States and overseas, attended the five day
program. The 24 speakers who addressed the group included a
number of senior security managers from major Intelligence
Community departments/agencies. The Seminar focused on the DCI's
"Minimum Standards for Security Awareness Programs in the U.S.
Intelligence Community." Major topics were directed at helping
attendees meet those standards. The Seminar's goal was to enhance
security awareness skills, knowledge and "know-how." The program
was considered a success and, as a result, additional seminars
will be scheduled in the future.
6. Work in Progress
a. Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Information -
During 1984 the Subcommittee spent considerable time dealing with
the "leak" problem. The effort, however, has been superficial at
best. Several good videotapes dealing directly with the leak
issue have been identified and distributed among Subcommittee
members. Most noteworthy of these are "Logan's Story" and a PBS
Production, "The Constitution: That Delicate Balance."
Subcommittee members have also been strongly encouraged to have
their respective department/agency invite DCI spokesmen (Messrs.
to address the leak problem and
present a videotaped discussion by the DCI. The Chairman of the
Unauthorized Disclosure Subcommittee (UDIS) was invited to brief
the Subcommittee on the UDIS's "Leak Study" and to offer
suggestions on how to effectively utilize its findings. And,
finally, special attention was given to the unauthorized
disclosure issue during the Security Educator's Seminar. Two
speakers addressed the problem (one was , and
the video "The Constitution: That Delicate Balance" was
presented and followed with a discussion period.
In the final analysis, an effective effort to counter the
unauthorized disclosure problem has remained elusive.
Accordingly, the Subcommittee is planning to make the leak issue
its first priority during 1985. A variety of conventional (and
some not so conventional) ideas are being discussed and closely
examined. A paper setting forth ideas and recommendations will
be forwarded to the Chairman, SECOM this Spring.
b. Security Educator's Seminar - A second Security
Educator's Seminar will be planned for 1985. Lessons learned

from the first seminar will obviously get careful attention
during both the planning and implementation phases.
c. The updating and reissuance of SECOM D543 will also
get priority attention during 1985. A Subcommittee task force
has been appointed to expedite the tasking.
7. Current Year Work Plan
a. Identify possible solutions/countermeasures to the
unauthorized disclosure problem. Set forth options and specific
recommendations in a paper to SECOM.
b. Appoint a four person task force to schedule and
plan a second Security Educator's Seminar.
c. Rewrite, per SECOM instruction, selected portions of
the security awareness materials catalog and resubmit for final
SECOM approval.
d. Expedite the updating and reissuance of SECOM D543.
8. Relevant Outside Activities - Although there are no
specific items to report here, it is significant to note that a
consistency in security awareness/education programs seems to be
developing ever so slowly both within and outside the U.S.
Intelligence Community. The DCI's Minimum Standards for Security
Awareness initially published in 1979 are becoming more and more
the standard, not only at headquarters locations, but at field
sites and contractor facilities as well. The addition of Annex C
to DCID 1/14 in 1984 will further expedite the standardization
process.

a serious hostile threat necessitating protection of information which is
sensitive and critical to national security.
2. Motivation - to convince those having access that the protective
measures are reasonable, necessary and practical under the circumstances,
and deserving of their support and strict compliance. Further, to promote
full understanding that security breaches can result in irreparable damage
to the national security and that effective security requires active
participation by all cleared personnel.
