FROM : Director of Security
SUBJECT: Security Approvals of Transfers
10 Under the present procedures it is possible, and it frequently
occurs, that an employee has been completely processed for overseas
assignment and is ready to depart before we are advised. For us to
deny the overseas travel at that late time is most embarrassing from
the standpoint of this office, and occasionally causes considerable
personal inconvenience to the proposed traveler, which inconvenience
could have been avoided if this office had been brought into the picture
at an earlier date.
2. Situations have also arisen whereby individuals have transferred
from one office to another before we received notice of the com.tempiated
action. To take security action in such instances presents a considerable
problem.

could be altered so as to give us as much advance notice as possible
before transfers are effected.
4. If, in order to effect the above, it is deemed necessary to
prepare an Agency regulation, it is pointed out that, from a policy
standpoint, security concurrence must be obtained in the following
instances:
a. Transfers between offices under the DD/A, DD/I and
between senior staffs and area divisions under the DD/P
b. Transfers between major components
c. Transfers between divisions in the Office of Operations
e. Transfers to and between stations overseas
5. In connection with paragraph 4.c. above, it is felt that strong
consideration should be given to avoid spelling out in a regulation for
general publication that transfers between divisions in the Office of
Operations must receive security concurrence. It is felt that to do so

STATSPEC may have an adverse effect upon the morale of ~ and FDD personne:L,
in particular, by being so prominently singled out. Consideration
should be given to effecting separate arrangements between the necessary
offices.
