PROSPECTS FOR INCREASED PROTECTION OF INTELILIGENCE,
SOURCES AND METHODS, THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF
DCID NO. 1/14, DATED 23 JUNE 1967
BACKGROUND
A. THE NEED FOR UNIFORMITY IN THE PERSONNEL SECURITY
CRITERIA FOR ACCESS TO COMPARTMENTED INTELLIGENCE
WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY PFIAB ITSELF IN ITS STUDY OF THE
DUNLAP CASE IN 1964 AND WAS ASSIGNED TO THE USIB SECURITY
COMMITTEE FOR ACTION.
B. THE DISCOVERY IN 1965 OF THE ESPIONAGE ACTIVITY OF SGT.
ROBERT L. JOHNSON, ESPECIALLY WHILE HE WAS ASSIGNED
TO THE ARMED FORCES COURIER SERVICE (ARFCOS) SERVED
TO RE-EMPHASIZE THE NEED FOR UNIFORMITY IN THIS FIELD.
C. AFTER CONSIDERABLE INTER-AGENCY COORDINATION AS
WELL AS CONSULTATION WITH OTHER USIB COMMITTEES
(SIGINT - COMDR) THE DCID WAS ISSUED IN 1967.

SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM
A. THE DCID ESTABLISHES UNIFORM PERSONNEL SECURITY
APPROVAL CRITERIA INCLUDING THE SCOPE OF THE
INVESTIGATION. FOR ACCESS TO ALL THE COMMUNITY'S
COMPARTMENTED COLLECTION SYSTEMS (EXCEPT
RESTRICTED DATA. WHICH HAS STATUTORY CONTROL).
B. THESE SYSTEMS REPRESENT OUR MOST SENSITIVE, MOST
PRODUCTIVE AND MOST EXPENSIVE COLLECTION EFFORTS.
C. THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WITH THESE CLEARANCES WITHIN
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IS STAGGERING:
TKH AND
APPROXIMATELY
. IMPACT OF DCID 1/14 ON THE COMMUNITY
A. ESTABLISHES, FOR THE FIRST TIME,. COMMON PERSONNEL
SECURITY CRITERIA AND UNIFORM INVESTIGATIVE REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR ALL SYSTEMS.
B. WILL FACILITATE SECURITY CERTIFICATIONS WITHIN THE
COMM UNITY.
C. STRESSES THAT A SECURITY APPROVAL MUST BE A COMMON
SENSE DETERMINATION BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION.

D. CONTINGENT UPON I'NEED-TO-KNOW, 11 A PERSON CLEARED
FOR ONE SYSTEM CAN NOW EASILY BE PROCESSED FOR
ACCESS TO ANOTHER SYSTEM, SINCE THE STANDARDS ARE
E. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A PERIODIC (5-YEAR) R-E--INVESTTI-
CATION IS A VALUABLE CI TOOL.
F. AS AA SIDE EFFECT, THE USIB APPROVED RECOMMENDATION
THAT ALL PERSONNEL ASSIGNED TO ARFCOS MEET DCID
1/14 STANDARDS, WILL BOTH UP-GRADE ARFCOS SECURITY
AND AT THE SAME TIME, PROVIDE GREATER SECURITY FOR
THE COMMUNITY'S INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENTS CARRIED
THROUGH ARFCOS CHANNELS.
4. PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
A. WITH DCIn 1114 ESTABLISHING A PRECEDENT, WE MAY
EXPECT SOME PROGRESS TOWARD UNIFORMITY IN THE
FOLLOWING AREAS.
1) THE PERSONAL HISTORY STATEMENT
A WORKING GROUP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED
TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING
A COMMON PHS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

2) PHYSICAL SECURITY STANDARDS (MONEY IS
A PERENNIAL PROBLEM IN THIS FIELD, BUT
A START HAS BEEN MADE IN THE ACCEPTANCE
OF A COMMON FORMAT FOR PHYSICAL SECURITY
SURVEYS).
WITH THE EVER GROWING SOPHISTICATION OF
COLLECTION METHODS, AND THE ACADEMIC
BACKGROUND OF THOSE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY INVOLVED IN THESE
PROGRAMS, SECURITY REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR
ARTICLES, SPEECHES AND PARTICIPATION IN
SEMINARS ARE MOST IMPORTANT. TO ATTAIN
MORE UNIFORMITY IN THIS FIELD, A WORKING
GROUP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO REVIEW THE
SECURITY REVIEW PROCEDURES OF MEMBER AGENCIES
TO ENSURE UNIFORMITY.
A SECURITY PROBLEM: NATIONAL SECURITY AND THE RIGHT TO
PRIVACY
