Testifying were the Secretaries of State and Defense and former Director John McCone. Subjects covered were Cuba, Vietnam, and the Soviet and Chinese weapons programs. Review and coordination have been completed on three of the transcripts. The three were returned to OCA with the recommendations that one be released in full, one be sanitized (suggested portions were marked for deletion), and one be denied in toto. The remaining two are in coordination with the Directorate of Operations (DO). 2. *The fifteenth increment of OSS records was transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration on 22 July 1986. The records include a collection of administrative files from Algiers, Calcutta, and the Washington Offices of the OSS Headquarters. In addition were the Director's Office and field station operational records which included overall OSS operations, policy, organization, and high-level liaison between the OSS and other government agencies and foreign services. To date, the Agency has transferred 2237 cubic feet. 3. The Chief of the Information Resources Management Division (IRMD) has requested that the Deputy Director for Personnel Security in the Office of Security secure observer status for the Office of Information Services (OIS) on the Information Security Committee of the Interagency Group for Countermeasures Policy (IG/CMP). The Information Security Oversight Office (IS00) is also represented on this committee, and OIS is responsible for all liaison with ISOO.

On 15 July, a representative of IRMD met with the Chief of the Unauthorized Disclosure Analysis Center (UDAC) and three staff members. (This component is located in the Intelligence Community Staff.) The IRMD representative presented his recommendations for improving the existing UDAC file system. The recommendations were to establish a new file system and prepare individual file folders for each of the approximately 300 "specificleak" cases and incorporate those folders into the new file system. 6. The Agency Forms officer from IRMD is conducting an audit of all Agency forms--approximately 1800. The case files of over 300 forms have been reviewed. Fourteen forms have been declared obsolete and another 61 are being evaluated as to their utility and continued use. The purpose of the audit is to eliminate unnecessary forms thus reducing management costs. 7_ on 18 July. Representatives from IRMD met the Chief of the new of the Information Management Staff (IMS), DO. At the meeting IRMD representatives were briefed on this new branch of IMS. It is responsible for reviewing DO historical records as well as reviewing official DO records for authorized disposition. IMS plans to centralize this type of records review responsibility within this branch. 8. The backlog of initial FOIA requests was reduced this week to 1301. This compares with a backlog of 2199 this time last year and 3076 two years ago. An FOIA requester this week asked for "...any documents that the CIA may have on the reactions and views that our NATO allies had to the US ABM programs 1966-1972." Other interesting items can be found in the separate report of the Information and Privacy Division which is attached.

Special Item of Interest The United States Information Agency (USIA), for reasons that are less than clear, has announced that they will not refer CIA information contained in their documents to our office but rather will make their own determination based on their under- standing of our equities. A strong letter has been dispatched to their General Counsel by the Coordinator reminding them of the Director's authorities and the mandate of Executive Order 12356. A copy of our letter is availiable upon request.

At the request of the office of Congressional Affairs (OCA) the Classification Review Division (CRD) reviewed five transcripts of testimony made before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1963. Testifying were the Secretaries of State and Defense, as well as the DCI, Mr. McCone. The topics of discussion included Cuba, Viet Nam and Soviet and Chinese weapons programs. The Senate wishes to publish the transcripts as part of its Historical Series. Review and coordination has been completed on three of the transcripts and they were returned to OCA. Two are still being coordinated with the DO. 2. Two CRD reviewers spent four working days at the Department of Justice reviewing the files connected with the U.S.vs. Felt/Miller/Gray case. We expect that the review will be completed by 25 July 1986. Then we must write an internal report on the overall review effort and its results. We also will prepare an index of the documents that we tabbed to be held to protect CIA equities. Finally, a reply will have to be prepared for Justice.

The fifteenth increment of OSS records was transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), on 22 July 1986. The records represent Items 47 and 126 of the OSS Records Control Schedule. These records include a collection of administrative files from Algiers, Calcutta, and the Washington Offices of OSS Headquarters. Also included are the Director's Office and field station operational records concerning overall OSS operations, policy, organization, and high-level liaison between the OSS and other government agencies and foreign services. To date, the Agency has transferred a total of 2237 cubic feet of OSS Records to NARA. t c fo t'o e o t c. Di gppg~ tjo Chief, IRMD, and Chief, Machine Readable Records Section/IMB, met wit Saderholm, Chief, Document Services Division, Office of In ormation Resources, Directorate of Intelligence (DSD/OIR/DI) on 16 July. The purpose of the meeting was to seek OIR agreement to provide the Directorate of Operations (DO) with access to a variety of data storage materials (magnetic tape, microforms, nd hard copy) contained in the OIR classified document library. This data has been requested by the DO to enable them to fill a gap in their permanent records collection of DO Intelligence Information Reports (IIRs). The gap developed when OIR discontinued their role as "holder" of the DO record copy and the DO was slow in establishing provisions to begin maintaining the record copy. Mr. Saderholm was most receptive to the approach suggested by the IRMD representatives and responsive to the needs of the DO. OIR has agreed to provide the materials required and arrangements were made to establish direct contact between OIR and the DO so that procedures and technical considerations can be worked out. F__1 d. l ton 5e011rity_ Comm'' t~ tpe Chief, Classification Management Branch (CMB), prepared a memorandum requesting the assistance of the Deputy Director for Personnel Security (OS) in securing observer status for the Office of Information Services (OIS) on the Information Security Committee of the Interagency Group for Countermeasures Policy (IG/CMP). The fact that the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) is represented on the Information Security Committee and that OIS is the Agency's liaison with ISOO, as well as OIS's classification responsibilities, require OIS be fully and currently informed on all information security issues. e. Tpp~S~pret.Cpnt ?~pff~ceX~. Top Secret Control Officers throughout the Agency continue to make significant reductions in the number of Top Secret collateral documents held in Agency components.

Information Services Branch (ISB), met on 15 July with Chief, Unauthorized Disclosure Analysis Center (UDAC), and three staff members. He presented his recommendations for improving the existing UDAC file system. The recommendations included establishing a new file system and preparing individual file folders for each of the approximately 300 "s ecific leak" cases to incorporate them into the new file system. j. Chief, Information Technology Branch, ITB, and Planning Staff, visited Digital Equipment Corporation in Landover, Maryland, for a briefing on their LN03 laser printer on 18 July. The printer provided an excellent quality; however, we learned that it will not operate directly off of an IMB PC without going through their VAX (microcomputer) as well as their editing software. This requirement increases the cost substantially to $25,000. ITB will continue to look at other laser printers that will be suitable for OIS applications. 3 CONFIDENTIAL Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/07/12 : CIA-RDP87-00058R000300540006-8 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/07/12 : CIA-RDP87-00058R000300540006-8 k. &22E& Q Chief, Archives and Records Center, reported that Engineer requested that the A&RC staff be "on call" after hours to come in and check for any leaks in the Records Center roof in case of rain.
