MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Personnel Security)
SUBJECT Polygraph Policy on Reinvestigation Program
25X1A9a
1. In view of the heavy workload in IRD, asked that
we consider dropping any routine requirement for polygraph in connection
with the RIP. He indicated that he felt that polygraphs should be utilized
only when there are specific questions to be resolved, but should not be
used as routine processing in reinvestigation cases.
2. Please prepare a memorandum for the Director of Security
setting forth this general concept for his approval. Include in the
memorandum any elaboration you deem necessary concerning this
policy.
