DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE
MEMORANDUM
TO Occupants of Secure Areas
FROM Special Agent in Charge
Technical Security Division
SUBJECT : Office Security
DHS Review Completed.
Under Executive Order 12333, the Technical Security Division of the U.S.
Secret Service is responsible for providing audio countermeasures
inspections within the White House/OEOB Complex and other areas as
designated by the Secretary of the Treasury or the President. In
compliance with this Executive Order, your office is or will soon be the
subject of routine audio countermeasures inspections. As occupants of a
secure area, the following are being provided to you as a reminder that
your assistance is required to maintain the security of your office.
During the inspection or "sweep", the team will use numerous techniques to
detect the presence of unauthorized listening or recording devices,
commonly known as "bugs". Upon completion of the sweep, it is imperative
that adequate security be maintained on the area to insure the integrity
of the sweep. The need for your cooperation in maintaining this security
cannot be overemphasized.
During working hours when the area is no longer under the security of
intrusion alarms or Uniformed Division officers, it is incumbent upon the
personnel in the area to keep the area secure. The following practices
should be instituted, if already not in use, and will help to keep your
area secure.
1. All classified materials should be safeguarded at all times and
be kept out of the reach or sight of casual passersby. The
classified documents should be stored in approved containers
whenever the area is unattended.
2. No classified information should ever be discussed on other than
secure telephone systems. Although your standard telephones will
be inspected during the sweep, we cannot insure against
unauthorized interceptions or "taps".
3. After the initial inspection, you will be responsible for
escorting electricians, carpenters, telephone men, etc., that
enter your area to perform any work. You will then be
responsible for immediately reporting the work that was done.
The reporting will be accomplished by completing one of the
escort forms furnished by TSD. Any new furnishings brought into
the area, or present furnishings removed and returned, should
also be reported on an escort form.

4. If your area is protected by intrusion alarms, be sure that the
last person leaving the office activates the system. The office
should never be left unattended during working hours. If it is
necessary to leave the office unattended, activate the alarm
before leaving and notify the Secret Service Uniformed Division
Control Center on 395-4497.
5. Escort all non-cleared visitors while they are in your area; do
not leave them alone. Cleaning personnel - even passholders -
should also be constantly escorted while in your area.
6. Report any suspicious activity or changes in your area for which
you cannot account. (Report such occurrences from a telephone
outside your area.)
The above practices may seem severe or troublesome, but devices currently
available can be introduced into your area in less than a minute. It is
your responsibility to assist us in keeping your office secure and your
cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Most of our inspections take place after normal working hours. However,
if. you are present during an inspection please continue with your usual
functions and make no mention of what is taking place. If you have a
question or wish to speak with a team member, ask him/her to step outside
the area to talk. Also, prior to our arrival, any discussions that a
sweep will take place should not be held within the area.
To contact the Technical Security Division to request guidance or to
report a problem, call 395-4005 or Signal drop 398, and ask for the "Duty
Desk". The person on the Duty Desk will take your request and initiate
appropriate action to solve the problem. Our Duty Desk is manned on a
24-hour basis so help is always available.
