The Agenda for the meeting included a discussion of the current standards and
their history by Joe mentioned that the problem domestically is in
defining the threat. In the foreign area, the threat is known, and thus the
requirement for full TEMPEST equipment is known. His other significant problem
lies in enforcing a decision to require full TEMPEST. Waiver requests are
frequent, especially from Agency "state-of-the-art" corr~ponents. His conce= is
also that we require our industrial contractors to follow one set of very rigid
standards while Agency offices appear to have a relaxed set of standards.
There was a discussion about external zones of control and their related
physical security procedures. There also was a discussion on the perceived
relaxation of TEMPEST requirements which. might occur when a zone-of-control
requirement is instituted.
The Committee was requested to consider:
---the use of a core area in buildings for non-TEMPEST equipment.
--the use of an external 0 buffer zone.
--the methods of controlling security in a =buffer zone.
--the ramifications of a requirement for true TEMPEST.
I agreed to bring some relative cost figures for shielding
several building sizes.
Goal of the group will be to draft a Headquarters Regulation on the subject.
A second meeting will be scheduled during the week of September 14.
