13-00000SECRET2 September 1975House Select Committee on Intelligence1.  The House Select Committee staff is now located in its permanent space, B-316, Rayburn Building. Ms. Jacqueline Hess is the Security Officer, telephone number 225-9696.2.  The only entrance is through B-316 and the space consists of several adjoining offices all served by an inner walkway. A member of the Capitol Police is stationed at a guard desk inside the door and admits only authorized individuals. Visitors must sign in with the guard, who calls the appropriate staff employee and visitors are allowed access to the space only in the company of staff employees. Interview rooms are located in the staff area but separated from the work area. During non-work hours two guards are on duty in the space.3.  All classified material is kept in a secure area at the rear of the space with one entrance to the secure room. This room is to be locked at all times when specified, employees are not on duty in the room. At the present time, Ms. Hess is the only one who will be able to open the secure area and unless circumstances change this arrangement will continue.4.  All classified material is kept in this secure area, and stored in approved safes with three-way combination locks. At present, Ms. Hess is the only person who possesses the combination to these safes.5.  Reading of classified documents is to be in a reading area, consisting of several tables, in the secure area. A staff employee desiring access to a classified document must make a request for it, Ms. Hess then obtains it, the employee reads it in the secure area and it is then returned to Ms. Hess for return to the safe cabinet. Staff employees have been advised that notes taken from classified documents and material prepared from such notes or the documents must respect the original classification and receive corresponding security. Copying of classified documents is to be strictly controlled, is to be done only on a copying device located in staff space, and copies are to receive the same security protection as the original.![SECRET]CLASSIFIED EY 356793EXEMPT FROM GENERAL DECLASSIFICATIONSCHEDULE OF E.

SECRET6. The entire space has been swept and plans call for additional periodic sweeping. There is a motion detector in the secure area which rings at the guard desk in the staff area and also at the main office of the Capitol Police in the Rayburn Building. Tests have been made of this device and the response by the Capitol Police was immediate. Two doors which normally serve as access to the secure area from space occupied by other House Committees have been secured from the inside and alarms are to be installed on these doors.7. Mr. A. Searle Field, Staff Director, and Ms. Hess advised that staff employees have been alerted to telephone security and this will be continually stressed. Also they have tried to instill strong security consciousness among all the staff. Mr. Field indicated that at present it is not expected the staff will total more than 35.

ADMINISTRATIVE INTERNAL USE OF YHouse Armed ServicesSubcommittee onIntelligenceand Military Application of Nuclear EnergyThe Subcommittee on Intelligence and Military Application of Nuclear Energy is newly established and the successor to the Special Subcommittee on Intelligence Chaired by Representative Lucien N. Nedzi. The new Subcommittee has picked up the responsibility of the soon to be abolished Joint Committee on Atomic Energy and is expanding its staff accordingly. Representative Melvin Price's Chairmanship is due to his long years of membership on the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. There will be an ever-increasing involvement by the Subcommittee in military application of nuclear energy and we undoubtedly will be called upon to provide required foreign intelligence.Members of the Subcommittee are as follows:Melvin Price (D., Ill.), ChairmanCharles H. Wilson (D., Calif.)Jack Brinkley (D., Ga.)Dan Daniel (D., Va.)G. V. Montgomery (D., Miss.)Ronald V. Dellums (D., Calif.)Bob Carr (D., Mich.)Charles E. Bennett (D., Fla.)Samuel S. Stratton (D., N.Y.)Bob Wilson (R., Calif.)William L. Dickinson (R., Ala.)Marjorie S. Holt (R., Md.)Robert W. Daniel, Jr. (R., Va.)Staff of the Subcommittee are as follows:John Ford, Staff DirectorWilliam H. Hogan, CounselAdam J. Klein, ProfessionalMr. Ford is Staff Director of the full Committee and replaced Mr. Frank Slatinshek, former Chief Counsel, who retired. Mr. Hogan is Counsel of the Subcommittee and will be the principal staff man on Agency matters. Adam Klein is a specialist in atomic energy matters.ADMINISTRATIVE HINTERNAL USE ONLY

ADMINISTRATIVE INTERNAL USE ONLYPROBLEMSA. House Subcommittee on Intelligence and Military Application of Nuclear EnergyFormer Chairman Lucien N. Nedzi fully exercised his perogatives as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Intelligence and we could look to him for support in any problems developing with other committees and other members of the House not on the Subcommittee. Based on the reactions of Chairman Melvin Price in the few instances that we have approached him in this Congress for assistance, it is quite evident that he is not the dominant personality as was Chairman Nedzi and will not stick his neck out to defend the Agency. Nor does it appear that the new staff director will be of the forceful personality as was Frank Slatinshek who was very helpful in a number of problems. A few weeks ago former Chairman Nedzi suggested that we resolve a problem involving Representative Donald M. Fraser by going to Speaker O'Neill. This may have been his indication to us that we may have to look to House leadership to resolve problems. Mr. Nedzi also suggested that we contact someone in the White House on a problem. We may be faced with needed White House support on a problem before we approach the leadership.B. House Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and ControlThe extent of Chairman Lester L. Wolff's oversight of the Agency in its narcotics collection activities still remains a looming problem. As indicated by the request for the seal, Mr. Wolff intends to extend the Agency's activities to where there is maximum effective collection of foreign intelligence on narcotics trafficking leading to arrest and conviction without regard to the Agency's statutory prohibitions. The only solution rests with the Attorney General and the White House giving the Agency clear and precise guidelines to operate in this area which the Agency can then point to in any disputes that may arise with the Select Committee as to what the Agency's role should be.ADMINISTRATIVE INTERNAL USE ONLY

# MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Initial Meeting with House Appropriations Committee Survey Group1. An initial session was held on 30 July 1976 of about one and a half hours with six persons from the Surveys and Investigations Staff of the House Appropriations Committee, to discuss the purpose of their survey of the Directorate of Operations and to propose some arrangements to govern their access to Agency personnel and documents. The following attended:Mr. Cornelius (Lefty) Anderson, Chief of Surveys and Investigations StaffMr. Marion Ramey, DeputyMr. Leonard (Bucky) Walters, who will head the team inspecting the Directorate of OperationsMr. Charles (Chuck) Havnes, team memberMr. Eugene Wilhelm, team member (former Agency employee)Mr. George C. Baird, team memberAttending for the Agency were:Mr. Theodore Shackley, who chaired the meetingMr. Robert GambinoMr. Lyle MillerMr. Thomas B. AbernathyMr. Richard PointMr. Philip F. Fendig2. The meeting followed reasonably well the attached agenda, which was made available to all at the beginning of the meeting. The following paragraphs summarize the important points covered.3. Scope: Mr. Shackley asked the group to define its mission, noting some of the topics mentioned in recent conversations with Mr. Snodgrass suggested particular interests whereas the Committee's report on the FY 77 budget
[104-10400-10316.pdf — page 45]
13-00000had suggested a different orientation. Mr. Anderson, characterizing the enterprise as a survey rather than an investigation, stated that his instructions were from the Chairman of the Committee: they called for a detailed review of the operation of the Directorate in its entirety. Mr. Walters would mention certain particular interests, noted below, but that did not set limits to the ultimate scope of the survey. Mr. Walters then took over:a. He expects to do a complete review, from the managerial and substantive standpoint, of the Directorate. His initial interests indicated an auditor's approach to these questions how budgets are compiled, examination of accounting procedures for regular and special funds, cost systems and the like.b. He went on, however, to the management aspects which they would also pursue to determine the results of the Directorate's operations the value of intelligence produced versus the costs involved in procuring it, and areas of possible overlap in collection with the military and with NSA.c. Specific areas which would be explored, given, as examples, included contingency reserves, the "special retirement fund" (presumably referring to MHMUTUAL), the procedures for reimbursing the State Department for cover and support, proprietaries (how created, their justification, value and effectiveness), safe- houses and "CA cadres."Mr. Anderson reluctantly agreed to Mr. Shackley's request for a memorandum spelling out these objectives in sufficient detail so that we could take the managerial steps necessary to resolve any conflicts in the priority of the time of our managers and senior operations officers who would be involved in current operations as well as overlapping inquiries from other groups concurrently overseeing the Directorate. Mr. Anderson also asked for any ongoing studies which the Directorate might have which would aid the team in its work.
[104-10400-10316.pdf — page 46]
13-00000.4. Duration: The team's first objective will be to   render an interim report to the Committee by 1 January 1977,   in order to meet the mandate that the survey be used in   considering the Agency's FY 1978 budget. The team wishes   to start work immediately and will consist of either six or   seven members who will occupy space in Headquarters building   and presumably do most of their work here; it was brought   out, however, that the team would also interview users of   our intelligence and other collectors. There was ambiguity   in the projection of the total length of the survey; I   interpreted Mr. Anderson's remarks to indicate that he   expected the team to be with us for most of calendar year1977. 5. Security: Mr. Anderson explained the arrangement   by which the Committee limits access by even the members of   the Subcommittee to the reports of his group; they must be   reviewed in a specified area and they are stored, in very   limited numbers, in the tower of the Capitol in the special   facilities there for the Joint Atomic Energy Committee of   Congress. Mr. Gambino explained the arrangements for badges,   certification of clearances, and provided for the team's   consideration a copy of the "non-disclosure agreement" which   we would like members to sign. There was considerable   discussion, and some objection, to the issuance of blue   badges which will provide access to virtually all parts of   the building but which must be turned in and picked up at   the entrance each day. This arrangement was reluctantly   accepted but it was made clear at lunch and in later   discussion with the team and with Mr. Anderson they are   unhappy with this slight infringement on their convenience   and physical access to the building.6. Access: Of more concern was the Agency position   that the SA/D070 would serve as a control point for the   team's further access to individuals and documents in the   Directorate. The requirement was explained in terms of the   "need to record, against later requirements such as in fact   now in progress stemming from another investigation, the   names, subject matter and general content of matters discussed   by Agency officers with team members. The requirement to   "monitor" was explained as an effort to keep this type of   record, rather than to impose a third party from the office   of SA/DO/0 on all interviews; the latter was clearly   considered by the team to be an unreasonable intrusion. It   was agreed after some discussion that we would proceed withSECRET3
[104-10400-10316.pdf — page 47]
13-00000.system outlined in the attached agenda, and that we would reconsider procedures later if they seemed clearly to be unwieldy. We anticipated, however, that once the team splits into smaller groups as is planned, and pursues particular areas of inquiry, it will be possible to evolve a workable system which meets the objectives of both parties.7. Other: There appears to be no difficulty in protecting identities of sources, providing documents in sanitized form, maintaining notes only in this building and at the appropriate security level and introducing some officers under cover in alias where necessary; all these points were noted and none was objected to. Space and other facilities may be cramped but it appears to be possible to provide adequate space adjacent to the SA/DO/0 offices. Mr. Anderson began by noting the outstanding cooperation on the Angola and COMINT surveys done in the building (in which relatively free access to personnel and files had been afforded his team), and ended by stating that the coming survey was not a witch hunt nor an investigation of abuses and that therefore he believed that such access could have very beneficial results for the Agency. It was agreed to begin the survey formally with a briefing by the DDO or ADDO on 3 or 4 August 1976. Mr. Walters with several team members will, however, set up shop on 2 August to review such general briefing papers as Mr. Fendig can make available to them at that time.(signed)Philip F.

GENERALMembers of the staff of the House Appropriations Committee began an extensive examination of the Directorate of Operations beginning the week of 2 August 1976. They expect that it will take approximately 17 months to complete this study. They state their activities are necessary to better understand the appropriations process. They emphasize that their objective is not to dig out evidence of wrongdoing or improper activities. The staff members' activities will be coordinated through SA/DO/O. The following paragraphs attempt to anticipate the procedures necessary to exercise orderly control over the staff's activities. These procedures may be subject to modification as future experience may dictate.2. LOCATIONMembers of this Congressional staff have been issued blue badges bearing the words "House Committee" which permit unescorted access to all non-specially controlled areas of the building, including the main cafeteria. The staff will be provided suitable private office space in Room 2 D 0117, adjacent to the office of the SA/DO/O, which will be relocated in Room 2 D 0109 as of 6 August 1976. It is expected that they will initially have a greater interest in interviews than they do in documents. Since they will have adequate office space, interviews should be conducted within their premises.3. CONTROL OF DOCUMENTSa. The staff is expected to make any requests for documentation to the SA/DO/O.
