MEMORANDUM FOR THE DEPUTY UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (POLICY)

SUBJECT: 'Implementation of Executive Order 12036

ERENCE •

Memorandum, same subject, 9 June 1978,

166135/78

The NRO has reviewed the three draft DOD Directives

orwarded with the referenced -,. .• ii. Our comments on

e directives dealing with t and TALENT-KEYHOLE

ontrol systems are attached. •r...Bed directive on

he NRO is still in work and will be fdrwarded in the very

ear future.

•

Our comments on the control systems directives relate

o the responsibilities for establishing and conducting.

ecurity policy. The draft directives in some areas do not

eflect.the currently established policies and could be

construed. to be onflict with otheres. For

xample, th ontrol System Manu 7000-66)

and the 1965 f/DCI Agreement on both stipulate that the DCI shall provide security polio u ance

for the National Reconnaissance Program. Th ontrol

System Manual further stipulates tha have

the responsibility for management control systems

in accordance with security policy ance provided by the

DCI.

I believe that our recommended changes will clarify

these responsibilities and ensure consistency with other

security and management directives
