SUBJECT COMMENT ON PROPOSED DCID ON "SECURITY POLICY CONCERNING
TRAVEL AND ASSIGNMENT OF PERSONNEL WITH ACCESS TO
SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION"
The following comments are furnished:
1. Paragraph 3.f.: Since the definition proposed as 3.f. is being in-
cluded to clarify a phrase used in paragraph 4.a., it is recom-
mended that the language be included in a new paragraph 4.b. to
read as follows:
4.b. The categories of sensitive information or methods of
SCI referred to in paragraph 4.a. include, but are not
limited to the following:
technological structure, function and technique of
sensitive intelligence collection or exploitation
systems/methods; or
designated system targets or sources; or
method and purpose of target selection; or
.. degree of success of collection or exploitation
system/method; or
collection or exploitation system/method capabilities
and vulnerabilities.
2. Paragraph 4.a.: It is recommended that the Security Committee
version of 4.a. be revised to read as follows:
4.a. Unofficial Travel: While U.S. citizens are not
restricted by U.S. laws from traveling in foreign
countries, persons granted authorization to certain
NATICN'.I.. ` ECURITY categories of extremely sensitive SCI on foreign

intelligence and foreign counterintelligence sources
and methods incur a special security obligation and
are to be alerted by the SIO to the risks associated
with their engaging in unofficial visits to, or travel
through, the countries listed in Appendix A. The
DCI, in consultation with SIO's, will identify the
categories having special sensitivity and the SIO
concerned should advise persons with such access that
travel in the listed countries may result in the
withdrawal of clearance for continued access to SCI.
3. Para: Since paragraph 4.a. assigns to the DCI the
responsibility for identifying the categories of information
having special sensitivity, it is suggested that paragraph 5.a.
be revised as follows:
5.a. The DCI will:
(1) Cause to be prepared and disseminated to the SIO's
a list of countries identified as posing a security
risk bearing on this policy (Appendix A.). The
Security Committee will coordinate required support
including source material concerning these risks.
(2) In consultation with the SIO's, identify the
categories of sensitive information on sources or
methods having special sensitivity which will
require a special alerting of the individual
desiring unofficial foreign travel to the risks
involved.
4. Appendix A.: The definition of "hazardous activities" which is
applied in 4.b. "Official Assignment/Travel" is broader than the
activities covered by the language in 4.a.
It is suggested that a review be made of Appendix A. (which is
used in 4.a.) to assure that there are not other hostile, isolated,
or exposed areas or countries that should be included in Appendix A.
