MEMORANDUM FOR: Inspector General
SUBJECT: Office of Security Assistance to and Arrangements
with USIB Agencies and Departments
1. While we have no legal objections to the recommended
action, two points do suggest further consideration. The first is
that Mr. Kane advises that the activities he is referring to now are
being carried out pursuant to instructions to him from the Director.
For these, obviously, no additional approval is necessary. It might
be well, however, for the Office of Security to maintain some sort of
a log of such activities which would also cite the authority for them.
2. It may be that not all activities are covered by existing
instructions. If so, the blanket authority sought obviously would
provide ample authority. On the other hand, it also would deprive
the Director of the protection and assistance now afforded him by
the senior level consideration and approval, or disapproval, which
STATINTL is intended b Indeed, a major purpose of that Notice was
to provide just such reviews. It might be appropriate for the Director
of Security to seek the approvals required by that Notice, but on a
case by case basis, of those activities not authorized by existing in-
structions and not falling within one of the categories which do not
require approval under that Notice. See paragraph 6 o STATINTL
STATINTL It should be noted also tha oes not require approval of new
activities before they are undertaken. The Notice apparently con-
templates that responsible officials may undertake activities in
accordance with their best judgment, with reporting, and subsequent
approval or disapproval of continuance, to follow. This would seem
a useful and hopefully not too burdensome mechanism to provide the
management consideration the Notice contemplates.
