The Director of Security termed the visits personally productive 25X1A by virtue of the comments, observations and perspectives voiced by the respective office personnel. 5. (U/FOUO) Project Outreach The time table for initiation of public tours at Headquarters has been delayed. It now appears that 6 August is the target date for initiation of these 6. tours. (U/FOUO) Personnel Evaluation Board Consideration is under way to make the Personnel Evaluation Board permanent. In the past this body has met only on an ad hoc basis to address cases.- under review. Under the proposed new setup, the Board would be composed of the Directors of Security, OMS and OP and, as a new member a representative from the Office of General Counsel. (C) Reprogramming of Funds New requirements levied upon the Office could mean expenditure of funds not originally programmed into our FY 1977 budget. Although we have asked for additional funds to meet these requirements, the Office of Comptroller has indicated that all funds requested may not be forthcoming and that we may have to reprogram our existing budget in order to make up the difference. Additional Federal Protective Officers to guard newly acquired buildings, caller. service fees and cost of living differentials represent the kinds of new requirements for which additional funding must be obtained or reprogrammed from within. 8. (U/FOUO) Public Correspondence The External Activities Branch has received several requests from the public for tickets in connection with forthcoming tours at Headquarters. These requests are being referred to the office of the Assistant for Public Affairs/DCI for action.

Any substantive questions and/or problems that are surfaced with respect to implementation will be compiled and addressed collectively in the near future. 6. CIA Tours - Project Outreach (U) (U/AIUO) The Director of Security remarked that while there has been recent publicity and speculation regarding public tours of the CIA Headquarters Building, all details of this proposed activity are not yet resolved. At this juncture, the tours are scheduled to begin on 4 July and will probably continue each Saturday thereafter. Tourists will be provided special badges, escorted and appropriately controlled during their visit. It is anticipated that an initial briefing in the auditorium will be followed by guided tours, in groups of 25 persons, through the tunnel and first floor area surrounding the courtyard. Appropriate displays positioned along the tour path will give visitors a better insight into and understanding of intelligence work, 7. Media Coverage at Headquarters (U) (U/AIUO) CBS will return in the near future to conclude its filming in connection with a forthcoming presentation on CIA to be aired on "60 Minutes." Time Magazine representatives, who have been in Headquarters this week, will return next week for additional coverage. It is anticipated that other news media will request similar access and film coverage at Headquarters. The security procedures employed to date, i,e., escorts and the review of film prior to release, will be applied uniformly to any such future requests from media representatives. 8. The Office of Security Mission (U) (U/AIUO) The Director of Security commented that our mission has not changed during the past five years even though there have been four different 2 CONFIDENTIAL Approved For Release 2001/08/07 : CIA-RDP84-00466R000100100024-5 Approved- Release 2001/08/07 : CIA-RDP84-0468000100100024-5 Directors.

Senior Seminar The D/Security advised that he had been a guest speaker at a Senior Seminar during the past week. He found the attendees attentive and sympathetic to the security problems facing the Agency in 1977. He noted that there were many questions and opinions concerning the security ramifications involved when an employee takes material from his office so that he can work on it at his home. There can be only one position on this matter. The practices are in violation of Agency rules. Violators are subject to penalty, and there is no doubt that the DCI would be very severe in adjudicating security breaches resulting from this practice. 4. Operation Outreach The public tours of the Headquarters Building will be called Operation Outreach. Tickets for the tours are to be distributed through members of Congress. Each tour will include a film and a viewing of exhibitions on the first floor. It is anticipated that the program, which is to start on 4 July, will be conducted twice a month on Saturdays and that the Office of Security will be called upon for support.
