MEMORAPdDUM FOR: D/DCI/IC
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Compartmentation
7. After the briefing I had from NSA on Monday morning,
I am increasingly concerned about the importance of controlling
our highly compartmented programs. I know that I have already
asked for a major review of compar~tmentation in response to 'the
Vice President's request. In anticipation of it, however, I
would like to look urgently at what you consider to be the ten
most sensitive compartmented programs that we have. I would
appreciate receiving a list of those programs with a brief
description of their content and a list of all the individuals
who are cleared far each.
2. I would also like to know who is authorized to add 'to
or subtract from these access lists.
3. What I have in mind is the possibility of issuing an
immediate directive requiring your personal approval of any
additions to these lists and directing you to pare them dawn
if you think it appropriate.
