SENIOR INTERAGENCY GROUP-INTELLIGENCE
DIRECTIVE NO. 2
SUBJECT: Counterintelligence and Countermeasure Responsibilities of
Subordinate Interagency Groups
1. This Directive supersedes SIG-I Directive No. 1 of 5 August 1982,
which is rescinded.
2. Three subordinate interagency groups (IGs) are established pursuant
to the provisions in NSDD-2, "National Security Council Structure," dated
12 January 1982 and my authority as Chairman, SIG-I. These IGs will assist
the SIG-I in carrying out its responsibilities to be cognizant of, provide
policy guidance on, and assure that there are coordinated and integrated
programs of counterintelligence and countermeasures to the foreign
intelligence threat.
Counterintelligence is as defined in Executive Order 12333, "United
States Intelligence Activities," of 4 December 1981.* Security
countermeasures encompass all other activities seeking to counter the foreign
intelligence collection threat. These include countermeasures against
technical threats such as SIGINT and imagery; security countermeasures,
including TEMPEST and technical surveillance; and personnel, physical,
information, industrial, communications, computer, and operations security
(OPSEC).
3. The IGs are working groups to develop and coordinate policy
positions. They report to the SIG-I. Their chairmen are responsible to the
Chairman, SIG-I, and will attend SIG-I meetings at which counterintelligence
and countermeasure matters are discussed. There will not be a formal voting
procedure among members of the IGs.
4. The reorganization amalgamates into the IGs the structure and
pertinent functions of the DCI Security Committee (SECOM), which is being
abolished by separate directive, and provides for a vigorous, aggressive
approach to raising and solving counterintelligence and countermeasure issues
and problems.
5. Three IGs will support the SIG-I, one for counterintelligence and two
for countermeasures. The structure of the IGs will be flexible. The two IGs
*Counterinti1Tigence means information gathered and activities conducted
to protect against espionage, other intelligence activities, sabotage, or
assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign powers, organizations, or
persons, or international terrorist activities, but not including personnel,
physical, document, or communications security programs.

for countermeasures will have standing committees as appropriate and useful.
IG/CM chairmen will appoint committee chairmen, subject to concurrence by the
Chairman, SIG-I, for a term of three years, based upon nominations received
from member agencies. Should a vacancy occur during such three-year term, the
IG/CM chairman shall call for new nominations from member agencies. Each
committee chairman must be a senior line manager from an agency with a
significant equity involved in the specific function or have other recognized
expertise. Members of these committees will also be senior line managers from
agencies across the government with major equities and/or a useful role to
play. Where appropriate, committee chairmen should have parallel
responsibilities outside of intelligence to ensure that Intelligence Community
and non-Intelligence Community efforts are congruent or complementary.
Membership of each IG is specified below. In addition, representatives of
other departments, agencies, and committees with responsibility for specific
matters may attend relevant IG meetings by invitation of the IG Chairman.
a. The IG/CI, chaired by the Director, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, or nis representative, will continue to be responsible for
national counterintelligence policy under the SIG-I, including
counterespionage, counters to other foreign intelligence HUMINT
collection, and the countering of "active measures." Membership will
consist of one representative of each of the following: Director, CIA;
the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs; the Deputy
Secretary of State; the Deputy Secretary of Defense; the Chairman, Joint
Chiefs of Staff; the Attorney General, Department of Justice; the
Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Director, National Security
Agency; Director, Defense Intelligence Agency; Army; Navy; Air Force;
Marine Corps; and the Department of Energy.
b. The IG/CM(T), chaired by the Assistant Secretary of Defense/C31,
will be responsible for national countermeasures policy under the SIG-I
relating to COMSEC, COMPUSEC, TEMPEST, Technical Surveillance
Countermeasures (TSCM), and R&D for the technical aspects of both
counterintelligence and countermeasures. The IG/CM(T) will have
committees subordinate to it as the Chairman deems appropriate.
Initially, subordinate committees shall consist of:
(1) The Technical Countermeasures Committee, supplanting
SECOM's Computer Security Subcommittee, and with purview over COMSEC,
COMPUSEC, and TEMPEST; over research and development for technical
countermeasures other than Technical Surveillance Countermeasures;
and over requirements for physical, personnel, and information
security for COMSEC and COMPUSEC, coordinating such requirements with
the appropriate committee of the IG/CM(P). The matters under the
purview of the proposed Technical Countermeasures Committee (COMSEC,
COMPUSEC, and TEMPEST) are not intended to duplicate the
responsibilities of the NTISSC (governed by NSDD 145).

CONFIDENTIAL
(2) Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) Committee,
supplanting SECOM's TSCM Subcommittee and having purview of research
and development activities concerning TSCM.
Membership will consist of representatives of the same organizations cited
above for the IG/CI; the members, again, are to be operating officials of
cognizant elements of the member organizations.
c. The IG/CM(P), chaired by the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense
(Policy), will be responsible for national countermeasures policy under
the SIG-I relating to personnel, physical security, information,
industrial, and operations security (OPSEC). The IG/CM(P) will have
committees subordinate to it as the Chairman deems appropriate.
Initially, subordinate committees shall consist of:
(1) Personnel Security Committee, supplanting SECOM's
Subcommittees for Personnel Security and for Security Awareness and
Education; the Office of Personnel Management will be invited to
participate;
(2) Physical Security Committee, supplanting SECOM's Facility
Protection Subcommittee, Armor and Protective Systems Working Group,
and Security Advisory Group-USSR, with purview over all
government-wide physical security policy and programs and
responsibility for effecting, as required, national coordination of
physical security policies of more limited scope, developed by or
under the auspices of other interagency bodies, and responsibility
for identifying needs for research and development on physical
security problems, and for coordinating requirements involving
technical systems with the appropriate committee of the IG/CM(T);
(3) Information Security Committee, including participation by
the Director, Information Security Oversight Office;
(4) National OPSEC Advisory Committee, a continuing IG/CM
committee;
Membership will consist of representatives of the organizations cited
above for the IG/CI, and will be subject to the same rules as is
participation on the IG/CM(T).
6. The interagency-staffed Community Counterintelligence and Security
Countermeasures Staff (CCISCMS), the organization and functioning of which
will be the subject of a separate DCI Directive, will serve as the permanent
staff of the SIG-I and the secretariat of its IGs on CI and CM matters. The
Director, CCISCMS, will provide staff support for the SIG-I for CI and CM
matters; he or his designee will serve as Executive Secretary of the IGs for
such matters. The SIG-I Secretariat will remain as it has been.

7. Matters for which SIG-I action is sought will normally first be
addressed by the appropriate IG, or one of its subcommittees, and referred via
the Secretariat. However, at the discretion of the SIG-I principals, a
proposal may be brought directly to the SIG-I through the Executive Secretary,
the Director, CCISCMS, or his designee. Matters which can be handled
adequately at lower levels do not need to be brought to the IGs. The
objective is to avoid layering while providing a mechanism for recommending
coordinated national policy.
