DCI SECURITY COMMITTEE
MONTHLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
SEPTEMBER 1978
1. (FOUO) The Committee Staff provided implementation
support for security aspects. of the Presidential decision
to declassify the "fact of" a U.S. photographic satellite
reconnaissance capability. This included preparation of
a guidance message for the Community on how to handle public
inquiries on intelligence satellites following the 1 October
Presidential announcement.
2. (FOUO) The DCI invited NFIB Principals to nominate
experienced personnel to fill two senior level positions on
the Security Committee staff on a rotational, reimbursable
basis. The positions are those in charge of those branches
of the staff which are concerned with a broad spectrum of
physical security and of Personnel and industrial security
matters respectively. The Community Security Group, the
Committee's staff, is now located at CIA Headquarters.
3. (FOUO) A Community-wide assessment of changes that
should be made to intelligence security policies and pro-
cedures to adapt them to both the letter and the spirit
of E.O. 12065 and its implementing directive is underway
by the Committee's Compartmentation Subcommittee. This will
consider the need for guidance on such matters as classification
guides for compartmented information and sensitive document
accountability.
4. (FOUO) A draft revision of DCID 1/7 to update security
policy on the dissemination and use of intelligence information
was prepared and is in the early stages of Community coordina-
tion. This ties in with the examination. of security policies
for maximum conformance with E.O. 12065. The draft is intended
to provide for better protection for sensitive information
through setting better standards and criteria for the assign-
ment of security controls to intelligence and for its subsequent
handling and use.

S. (C) The Committee staff provided support to
who was tasked by the DCI to
develop a plan or simplifying compartmentation procedures
while continuing to protect sensitive source data.
6. (FOUO) A Committee working group is reviewing the
need for and feasibility of a possible appeals procedure
whereby those who are denied access to compartmented intelli-
gence may appeal the finding and offer corrective or mitigating
information. Such a procedure is being considered in tandem
with proposed uniform Community guidelines for adjudication
of investigative results for potential access to compartmented
data. Draft guidelines to that end arc being refined by
another Committee working group.
7. (C) The Committee was briefed on security plans for
the new U.S. Embassy to be built in Moscow, and on the security
practices being followed by the Soviets in the ongoing con-
struction of their new Embassy complex in Washington, D.C.
