MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director, Central Intelligence Agency
Director, Defense Intelligence Agency
Director, Intelligence Community Staff
Director, National Security Agency/
Chief, Central Security Service
Under Secretary of the Air Force
SUBJECT: Security Violations
1. By the at.ached letter, the DCI has been informed of numerous
security violations on the part of member agencies of the Intelligence
Community pertaining to delivery of intelligence-related material to the
Senate Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Defense. These would
appear to have arisen from either a lack of knowledge of the proper
procedures or disregard of standard security practices,, for which there
can be no excuse.
2. It is especially disturbing and particularly embarrassing that
these breaches have occurred on Capitol Hill, where it is vital that the
Intelligence Community display the high level of security discipline
which we claim to practice and demand. From the example cited by
Senator Stevens, it would certainly seem that we are not practicing what
we preach.
3. I therefore request that you take the following actions:
-- immediately investigate the circumstances of the
violations cited by Senator Stevens and report the results to
me; and
ensure that all personnel involved in the delivery
of classified information to the Hill are fully briefed and
understand the procedures cited in Senator Stevens' letter.
4. I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of strict
adherence to all necessary security procedures. Every effort should be
expended to prevent security violations of this or any other kind.

Dear Mr. Director:
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
WASHINGTON. D.C. 20510
April 8, 1983
Once again the Committee must notify you of a series of
violations to our security standards. As outlined in our letter
of June 18, 1982, all classified information pertaining to
intelligence and intelligence-related material must be delivered
to room SD-122 or SD-119 and signed for by a staff member
specifically cleared to receive such information.

committee.
In each of these cases, information was either left with uncleared
of Defense, the National Security Agency
deliveries by the Intelligence Community staff, the DAnartmPnt
None of my other offices either in the Capitol or in the
Russell Office Building should receive classified information
since staff members there do not have necessary clearances and
no secure storage exists at these locations. Nor should
classified data intended for Appropriations Committee use be
delivered to another committee. Recent violations have involved
Please instruct your staff again of our policy so that we may
ensure classified information receives the full protection to which
it is entitled.
