DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Security Committee
2 6 MAR 1979
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman,DCI Security Committee
Executive Secretary
STAT
1. This topic was selected by the Security Committee
for priority attention during 1979.
goal.
2. The following actions are proposed toward this
a. Elevate the Unauthorized Disclosures
Working Group to a permanent Subcommittee of
the SECOM. Action required:
1. Draft memorandum for signature
Chairman to DCI obtaining approval for
this action.
2. Necessary charter changes to
DCID 1/11.
Comment: The present Chairman of the UDWG has requested
relief from this duty on the press of other business.
In recognition that DIA has chaired this activity
for over a year it may be advisable to rotate the chair
at this time. A considerable number of unauthorized
disclosures are reported by NSA. There may be advantage to
asking NSA to head this activity.
b. Improve the :Leak Data Base.
All reports of leaks should be
accomplished by a completed form which
will serve to input the computer data base.

c. Establish a point of knowledgeable contact
in each member of the NFIB (preferable the Department's
representation on the UD Subcommittee. Primarily an
action officer.)
d.. Reinstitute the concept with the U D.
Subcommittee of a Fast Reaction Element composed of
those members whose agencies may be involved in any
given leak. ?Functions would be to:
1. Determine whether the issue is a
leak of NFI.
2. Determine what agencies should be
asked to initiate immediate investigation and
to task them accordingly.
3. Determine whether there should be a
recommendation to the DCI requesting an FBI
investigation.
4. Should it be determined that further
investigation would be futile or have no
salutory effect, cancel various in-house
investigations and assure that the leak data
base has been updated.
e. Establish a contact in the Criminal Division
of the Attorney General's office and the FBI and
send copies of each report of leak direct to them.
f. Establish contacts in the Senate and House
Intelligence Committees and send them copies of each
report of leak through the DCI's office of Legislative
Council.
g. Seek DCI agreement to petition the Director
FBI and the Attorney General to be more willing to do
investigations of Unauthorized Disclosures.
1. Obtain support of NFIB members for
campaign.
2. Present concern at an NFIB meeting.
3. Obtain support of NSC.
h. Seek DCI agreement to ask the President for
an expression of concern about Unauthorized Disclosures.

i. Start a publicity push to make every NFI member
aware that unauthorized disclosures are detrimental.
- Include flyers in each Intel Pub for a week.
- Put out notices to all personnel in each
agency.
- For one week, ask everyone who meets with
the press to report it, naming the reporter
and the subject(s) covered.
- Put notices on bulletin boards, on tables
in cafeterias (including the Executive Dining
Room).
- Get cable message to use with each cable for
one day.
- Get out book dispatch over all network lines -
leaving it to communicators to attach copy to
distribution lists.
j. Seek DCI support for establishing a small
investigative group composed of representatives of the
IC that have DCI authority to cross departmental lines
in pursuit of resolution of unauthorized disclosures of
National Foreign Intelligence.
k. Recognize that there are some "authorized
disclosures" and task the Unauthorized Disclosure
Subcommittee to work out a mechanism whereby a
determination can be made as to the category of leak
(i.e., authorized or unauthorized) before investigations
are initiated.
3. These proposals are submitted in the belief that they
are goal oriented, represent a revitalization of actions and
interest within the perogatives of the Security Committee and
will reflect to the NFIB a positive posture by the Committee.
Since a major portion of the proposed actions are resource
consuming, it is suggested that the Committee pick a period,
say the month of June, and a week within that month, perhaps
the 2nd week,to devote necessary resources to this effort.
