I am writing in response to your letter of 16 May in which you expressed
concern about the security of the Agency's telephone systems.
We share your concerns and have taken the opportunity presented by the
construction of the New Headquarters Building to improve the security of our
telephone systems throughout the Headquarters compound, including both data
and voice communications.
In 1961, when our telephone systems were originally installed, we could
not have anticipated the changes in technology and the increased security
threats with which we would be wrestling in the 1980s. Until recently, the
nonsecure telephone system was leased from and maintained by AT&T. All AT&T
personnel working on our system, however, were required to have CIA security
clearances. The secure telephone system has always been a separate system,
owned and maintainer by CIA staff personnel.
As part of the New Headquarters Building program, we installed a new
nonsecure telephone system which the Agency owns and maintains. We have also
enh-the service available in the Agency-controlled secure telephone
system. We now have complete control over both the secure and nonsecure
telephone systems throughout the Headquarters compound. I am confident that
these and other steps we have taken will greatly improve the security of our
telephone systems.
Sincerely,
J. Ca

The Committee has reviewed and does not object to the reprograming
action submitted in your letter of 3 April 1986.
The Committee is concerned, however, that much of this reprograming
need results from an obvious inability of past program management to
correctly identify both personnel and equipment requirements for the old
and new headquarters buildings. Indeed, such requirements should have
been well documented over the past several years based on the Agency's
planning for the new building and on the budgeted manpower growth sub-
mitted annually to the Congress. Moreover, the requirement to cover
additional costs of escort personnel raises concern as to current program
management.
The issue of security greatly concerns the Committee. Specifically,
the leased lines were not controlled by the Agency. Contractors were
permitted to freely add to the existing telephone grid. The Committee
seeks the Agency's assessment of the security implications on these
decisions.
The committee is convinced of the urgency of the reprograming request
and will not object at this time. It does, however, request by 1 August a
response to the question of security. The Committee will more thoroughly
review the Agency's telecommunications proposal during consideration of
its FY 1987 budget request.
With best wishes,
EVENS
