OIS Weekly Report (4-10 July 1985)
A. WORK IN PROGRESS
1. TRIS TRAINING. Representatives of the Information Resources
Management Division (IRMD) have completed initial training of the first
group of Top Secret (TS) control officers in the TSCADS portion of TRIS.
The training was divided into three sessions on recording various types
of actions involving TS collateral documents. A few participants were
not familiar with computer terminal operations and experienced some dif-
ficulty inputting information and carrying out the required procedures.
They will be given the opportunity for further instruction later in the
training cycle. If they continue to experience problems after additional
training, their components will be notified and the suggestion made that
someone more familiar with computers be appointed as the Top Secret
Control Officer.
2. TS COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. OIS annuitants continue their search
for TS collateral documents in the holdings of the Intelligence Community
Staff at the Records Center. Fourteen different deposits were searched
and 31 documents were located. Six of these were charged to ICS but 15
require additional processing to determine which component should be
charged with responsibility. In the files of the Office of Soviet
Analysis (SOVA), 105 TS documents were located. All were charged to
SOVA, including one unaccounted for item.
3. OSWR SURVEY BRIEFING. Representatives from IRMD briefed the
Director of Scientific and Weapons Research (OSWR) on the results of the
recent survey of OSWR's information management program. The following
recommendations were made: (a) reconfiguration of OSWR's registry
operation, (b) elimination of intraoff ice mail delivery to provide more
time for office records management activities, (c) centralization of the
control of TS collateral documents, and (d) updating of the office vital
records program. The Director, OSWR, seemed pleased with the survey
results and indicated that he was looking forward to receiving the survey
team's written report.

4. PROCESSING OF SSU RECORDS UNDER HISTORICAL REVIEW PROGRAM.
Chief, IRMD, and representatives met with representatives from the
Directorate of Operations, Information Management Staff (DO/IMS), to
discuss procedures for transfering records of the Agency's predecessor
organizations--particularly the Strategic Services Unit (SSU)--to the
National Archives and Records Administration (NAM under the the new
Historical Review Program. DO/IMS wanted a Memorandum of Understanding
(Ma) between the Agency and NARA to ensure the same protection for the
SSU records as provided by the MOU negotiated for the OSS records. The
MOU covering transfer of the OSS records has worked well and, on occa-
sion, NARA personnel have coordinated with the Agency on questionable
items. While it was agreed that another MOU probably was not necessary,
the DO believes that inclusion of the SSU records would add credence to
the security of the Historical Review Program. IRMD has revised the OSS
MOU to accommodate the SSU records and it is being coordinated with the
Agency.
B. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES.
1. PROPOSAL FOR OC CORRESPONDENCE SUSPENSE SYSTEM. A representa-
tive from IRMD and the chief of the OC/OL Information Services Center
(ISC) briefed the Chief of Operations, OC, on plans for an OC corres-
pondence suspense system. Under the proposed system, ISC analysts will
be responsible for determining the action dissemination for all OC
correspondence, assigning suspense dates, and disseminating a semi-weekly
suspense list using the CARS package. The suspense list will assist OC
division and staff chiefs in meeting action deadlines by providing them
with up-to-date reports of the outstanding suspense items charged to
their components. A draft OC notice outlining implementation procedures
has been prepared and instructional briefings for OC secretaries and
clericals are planned. The system will be instituted as soon as OC
selects the individual to perform this function.
2. INFORMATION AND PRIVACY DIVISION ACTIVITIES. While workmen
literally hammered away at major renovations in the Information and
Pirvacy Division (IPD), IPD personnel figuratively hammered away at the
"backlog" of initial requests and reduced it by 26 cases; it now stands
at 2,228. In an effort to exhaust all avenues to reduce cases, Chief,
IPD sent out 98 letters addressing the issue of delinquent fees totalling
$11,000. The letters remind the requester of the rules governing failure
to pay fees assessed. (Please refer to attached IPD report, paragraph
5.)

5. Comments
Requesters who have not paid search and/or copying fees
for completed records services owe the U.S. Treasury over
$11,000. This week we sent out 98 letters reminding these
people of their debt. Those still delinquent after 30 days
will be told that they will receive no further records service
from this agency, and all open cases will be cancelled.

SUBJECT:
Weekly Report, 3-9 July 1985
1. reported to CRD for duty on
1 July 1985. They represent a welcome addition to our staff that will engage
in the Historical Review Program (HRP).
2. C/CRD and C/HRP/CRD met with C/MPG/IMS/DO to discuss some questions
the latter had concerning the draft of the Schedule for Implementing the
Historical Review Program. Most of the questions related to DO concerns for
the security of information that we would record about the actions that we
would take in the HRP. We pointed out that the specific computer program that
we would use had yet to be devised or agreed upon but this still left the DO
uneasy. To satisfy DO qualms we added language that emphasizes the need to
ensure the security of information that is put into a data base to record
actions taken during the HRP.

participants were not familiar with computer terminal
operations and experienced some difficulty inputting

the possibility of putting all Agency Regulations in an

such a system would be to make the regulations more easily
searched for pertinent information and more readily available
for review and revision. The meeting generated some questions
that need to be addressed by RPD and PMS before a
determination can be made on how this proposal can be
addressed. The questions relate to who will be using the
system, the manner in which the information will be
structured, and all the major purposes that the system would
serve.

a. Historical Review Pro.ram. Chief and Deputy Chief,
IRMD, an
met with
Information Management Sta , D, an
Information Resources Management Branch, IMS, to discuss the
transfer of records from predecessor organizations to the
National Archives and Records Administration under the
auspices of the Historical Review Program. wanted
a Memorandum of Understanding drawn up between the Agency and
NARA to ensure that the same protection was afforded records
of the Strategic Services Unit as those of OSS. He felt that
the MOU was needed so that the transfer of these records could
begin without another major review of the material. The MOU
covering the transfer of OSS records had worked well from the
DO's perspective because NARA personnel had called the
Agency's attention to several questionable items. While it
was agreed that another MOU probably was not necessary because
of existing NARA procedures, the DDO had made it a condition
for participation in the HRP. IRMD representatives indicated
that the use of an MOU for Central Intelligence Group and
Agency records would be inappropriate, a view which
shared. Subsequent to the meeting, IRMD revised
the OSS MOU to accommodate the extension of its provision to
SSU records and is in the process of coordinating the draft
within the Agency.
