WORK IN PROGRESS 1. TRIS. Work is proceeding on schedule toward achieving TRIS Initial Operating Capability on 26 August 1985. On that date repre- sentatives from the OC/OL Information Services Center, the Ames Building Information Services Center, and the DO will participate in verification and validation testing in the Information Technology Branch. Upon completion of the tests, Agency Top Secret Control Officers will be notified that TSCADS is operational and must be used to control Top Secret collateral documents. Subsequently, personnel serving as Registry Control Points will be given access to TRIS for operational use upon completing the required training that is scheduled to begin on 3 September 1985. 2. TS DOCUMENTS. OIS annuitants continued the search for unaccounted for TS collateral documents. One annuitant located 36 previously unaccounted for documents charged to the Intelligence Community Staff. Another annuitant located 22 unaccounted for documents charged to the Office of Soviet Analysis. B. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES OF INTEREST 1. ISOO TASK FORCE.

CGS RECORDS. The sixth increment of OSS records, consisting of 122 cubic feet of Washington OSS Operation & Support Records, was trans- ferred to the National Archives and Records Administration (NAM. This brings the total of 06S records transferred to NARA to 915 cubic feet. We have submitted a request to NARA to transfer an additional 102 cubic feet of OSS records concerning Propaganda Charts, Algiers Files, Washington/Field Office Miscellaneous Records, and OSS Field Station Operations & Services Records. 3. PRESERVATION PROGRAM. OIS has ordered the following acid-free supplies necessary to begin the archival records preservation program at the Agency Records Center: 5,500 records storage boxes, 500 microfilm storage boxes, 90,000 legal-size folders, 20,000 letter-size folders, and 120,000 folder labels. These supplies will enable the Records Center to initiate the transfer of permanent records into acid-free containers to avoid premature deterioration of the Agency's historical documentation. 4. RALPH MCGEHEE AND THE REWALD TRIAL. With the assistance of the Office of Finance and FBIS, the Classification Review Division located a tape of a TV interview broadcast from Havana on 4 May 1983 disclosing that Communist governments had financed Ralph McGehee's trip to Cuba and Nicaragua. This information will be used to support the Agency's con- tention that McGehee is not an impartial "expert witness" and therefore should not have access to classified information at the Rewald trial. 6. INFORMATION AND PRIVACY DIVISION ACTIVITIES. The backlog of initial requests continues to fall. It now stands at 2153 compared with 2161 in the previous week.

With the help of the Director of Finance and FBIS materials CRD was able to locate a TV interview broadcast from Havana on 4 May 1983 in which it was disclosed that Communist governments had financed Ralph McGehee's trip to Cuba and Nicaragua. This information had been requested by the DO and will support the Director of Security's contention that McGehee is not an impartial "expert witness" and therefore should not be allowed to have access to classified material at the Rewald trial. The Agency furnished this material to Rewald defense attorneys under a right of discovery. 3. CRD continues to review SAE's for non-DO personnel who have never served overseas. The review is made to identify any classified information in the SAE. Since 1 January 1985 CRD has reviewed a total of 574 SAEs. Of these, 450 were staffers who retired, resigned or were preparing an SAE for other purposes; 74 were summer only employees; 43 were co-op student trainees; and seven were graduate fellows. Thus 124 persons were temporary employees or 21.6 percent of the total.
