SUMMARY REPORT W MAY 1975
HIGHLIGHTS
1. The Information Systems Security Group conducted an
inventory/survey of all remote terminal installations
connected to the Office of Joint Computer Support computer
systems. A total of 531 remote terminals in 124 locations
were surveyed in Headquarters and other CIA buildings with the
exception of the National Photographic Interpretation Center.
The survey showed that 18 remote terminals in Headquarters
Building and 3 in other buildings did not meet Office of
Communications` minimum requirements regarding the separation
of remote terminals from telephones/shoe boxes. The
STATINTL Office of Communications,
has been advise o t e resu is of this survey to take the
necessary action on terminals in violation of standards.
2. A proposed Headquarters Notice entitled STATINTL
STATINTL was forwarded to the
Chief, Policy and Plans Group, or coor ination and publication
throughout the Agency. This paper has been coordinated within
the Office of Security.
3. Representatives of the Information Systems Security
Group met with representatives of the Office of Joint Computer
Support, DDI, and Office of Communications to .discuss the
proposed upgrading of the Community On-Line Intelligence
Systems (COINS) within the Agency. The upgrading, providing
a host computer for the COINS, was determined to be impractical
for logistical reasons, and unnecessary since the COINS
terminals in the Agency are already under-utilized and no
increased use of COINS facilities is projected.
