SUBJECT: Security Orientation 

Colonel Ford bas advised me that it is your desire 

that a security procedure briefing bo scheduled for all 

personnel assigned to SAFSL. Prior to scheduling a new 

briefing, I would like to update you on the last presentation, and outline what has been planned for the next 

briefing. 

During the week of 6 January 1969, SAFSL personnel, 

except yourself, were presented a reindoctrination briefing 

that included the following points: 

Purpose, function and use of the COMINT, 

TALENT, and BYEMAN security systems, 

Similarities of the compartmented systems. 

Codeword definition, use and limitations. 

Use of the terms NRO, NRP, and MOL within 

compartmented systems. 

Classification and marking of material. 

Administration and control procedures. 

Personnel security procedures. 

Covert concept and methodology. 

At the present time the NRP security directives are 

being revised and updated with some rather significant 

changes. Since these directives, rather than the BYEMAN 

manual, govern the conduct of our internal business, I had 

hoped to schedule a briefing on them for our personnel

together with a general security briefing once they have 

been approved and are published. This should be completed 

within the next two months. 

If you desire a briefing schedule other than as stated 

I will alter or supplant my plans as you wish.

MEMORANDUM FOR I 

~----~ IAND COLONEL FORD 

SUBJECT: NRO BYEMAN Security Officers 

Attached is a draft think paper on our security 

officer availability and qualification situation. The 

situation is becoming acute, and unless some action is 

taken we cannot hope to guarantee the integrity of NRP 

security. 

Whether this approach is appropriate or compatible with 

your desires is to be determined, If you wish to proceed 

along these lines, or a new approach is suggested, our next 

step Should be to approach the West Coast offices. Dr. 

Flax must approve any additional positions requested. 

If you completely disagree, I'll start over. Your 

coilllllents are requested,
