The Honorable Caspar W. Weinberger
Secretary of Defense
Washington, D.C. 20301
Dear Cap:
Thank you for your letter of 11 March 1982 responding to my
request for a waiver of DoD Directive 5210.48 to permit polygraph
testing of DoD personnel assigned I can under-
stand your position of wanting to complete your review of DoD
polygraph policy before granting another exception to that policy.
I an, concerned, however, about the possibility that my request
did not portray fully the security implications of current and
future operations within Certain aspects necessary
to the ongoing NPIC modernization program, such as the consolida-
tion of photo lab services of common concern and the installation
of a single internal data link, inherently bring some increased
risk to an already questionable situation. In our view the
physical and personnel controls utilized in the past will become
unworkable. The impracticability of the alternatives to poly-
graph suggested in your letter is the principal reason for
requesting the waiver.
Your offer to talk further.is most, welcome. At an appro-
priate time, I'd like to discuss this natter in some detail.
Meanwhile, as a prelude, I invite you to have your policy people
contact our Director of Security for a tour of NPIC and an in-
depth discussion of the changes that have convinced us there is a
serious need to fortify personnel security at
Your willingness to give further consideration to our
proposal is greatly appreciated.
Yours,
