As an Interim measure, I am reVesting the head of each agency
having essential wartime functions to take pbysic3a1 sectr~tty cognizance
(within the pur-riew of Executive Order 10421) and make a sjecial survey of
those building or parts of buildings which house assent La. wartime functions
n f the agency. This request does not In any way alter the building manage-
ment arrangements 'which exist now or say be load! in the future.
The purpose of the s+artej- is (1) to eosfirn the adequacy of
existing physical security nees rsa, or (2) to dates ine the additional
measures which should be taken sad the cost iavslved. I offer the following
points for your guidance in conducting this smreeyt
1. Caluider only the apses Aiah hoards yez a 1,
records and egnipsea* sasoel.sts4 lit b essential. rartiar
functions. Please excl. i*io wtioet sites from this
survey as they we being bsalUAd separst.13. Also
exe]a a military poste, camps and stations, and Atomic
Inergy installations, as they are excladed from the
requirements of Executive order 10k2l.
2. Consider the advisability of moving essential
wartime fmetions eit is the sires building or elsewhere
to places 'which vin provide bather rstea1 se cwrity at
lower coat.
3. Consider protective aasarss againast co?ntrt acts
(espionage, sabatags, sad o r ssbversivo setsvities) as
distinguished from evett sets (w aq' edlits action,
including air attack with nwlssr moons).
Consider pri> M12y protection against isolated
incidents of covert aatiitty designed to appear as
accidents rather than all-out soordina tid effort by enemy
agents coupled With plaened #%W PI" overt ewer r Aoti'm.
The use of nuclear vs pone and biological or chemical
devices in covert activities ihouU be considered exttsaly
difficult to catelage as an accident .
5. Consider the rma,jor obyective to be a 37.tdent degree
of physical security against covert acts rather, than absolute
security.
In order that we may have the berafit of your survey in formulati ;";
policy and also to have a basis for reporting a+ccomplis'zents under this
program, will you please furnish us a report, a ,rcpt"istely classified. for
security reasons, giving the following information t
