of a bill

sect.ion l. Thia section would provide exp:resa etatutoey author.tty for 

the e.x1stence"and activities o~ the AgJncy mid the appointment ot the Director 

thereto. During the past eig4t yean, the Con,greaa baa regularly appropriated 

f'Wlds ror the Agency. ~reover, the cougress has on several oacaaiona enacted 

legislation pertaining to the Agency. Public Law 86-Jt) 111 the moat. recent 

statute. Therefore 1 this :provision would provide de J\U"e recogni tton tor a 

de facto situation. 

Section 2. '1'h1s Section would prescribe by statute a security stwldal'Cl 

!or emploYiiin.t and retention 1n the Agency. Tb.e standard propoaed. is nOY

this :provision. wu.ld im;poallt this standard oy l\18.l'ldate ot tbe Cona;reaa. The 

intent is to provide a more authoritative .legal b&ei1 to enable the Agency 

to apply the security standard more effectively. 

section 3. ·rh.is nection vould grant tl'«t Director ot the Agency diacre~ 

tiona'i';'&uthO'ri ty to terminate t.1le service ot an emplo~ once 1 t bas been 

determined. ti.at hi• eont!nu.ed etnplo;yment. vould not be in the interest or the 

United states. lte intent is to enable the /1gency to ma.u1:tain more ettect1vely 

the integrity and security ot' its operations. It wou.ld overCOJ(t.e serious 

in.adequacies in existing termination authority. For example, under existing 

lav, alternative authority to tenrdnate must be relied upon dependinu on 

"Whether the baais or diSiTAisaal is national security or unsuite.b1lit¥/Wlf'itnese 

.reaBOns. However, in vifnf or th.e close relation ot .Agency positions to the 

national security, it is often difficult tor the Agency to determine "Wb.ether 

the basis o-r dismissal ts the national •~'"Urit¥ or unt'itness or unsuitability 

for eiuplo~nt. Yet, the AE:,-ency may be bound by its election of a separation 

procedure. Moreover, re;gu'dlees ot the t~e of authority relied upon, the 

At!,cnc::r ooy be forced to comply vi.th strict. procedural raquiremente and eateguards designed to protect the employee. FUrthe.rraore., tbe ;\gen.Cy must decide 

vl:leth.er tbe disclosure of' su:t:ticient into:watiou to au.atain a term.ina.tion may 

generate risks ineanpatible with the nature ot the Agency's miseion nod in· 

coneietent vi:th tne aecu.r1 ty instructions prellCJ'ibod by h18}ler authority. 

Therefore, it is proposed to grant the Director of the Agency discretionary 

tel"lllillation authority. It the COQ81"e11a concurs, intemal procedures would be 

eetabli1ued to assure that such autborltyb& exercised witb due regard ~or

(SUPPLDIDTAL JUSTIFICATIO.) 

l. The Director of NSA is charged With the reapc:ma1b1llty tor uaurtng 

the inteartty and aecurity ot the operationa of tbe Ageaq. In th11 regard 

he 1• reepona1'ble for the application vitb:l.n NSA ot the Penomael Security 

Clearance Standards praaulgated. ~ DCID Bo. 6/3 vhich govern the granting ot 

acceaa to Camr.t' 1nfo19.tion to iDdividual •ployeea ot the Agency. Be 1• 

also reapoms1ble1 under delegation of authority trca the Secretary ot Detenae, 

:ror carrying out the prov1a1ona ot Public I.&v 7331 Bxecutive Order 10450, , 

and DOD Directives No. 5210.7 and No. 5210.8 relating to peraa:mel security. f/ 

2. Within 1lSA all positiona are "sensitive positions'' 11.nce the duties ot 

all employee• expose them to inf'omation, the improper uae ot vhich could 

attect adversely the national aecu.rit,r. T!Na, employment and acceaa to COIINT 

information are &YDOIJ;YlllOUS. Without access there can be no continued. produc.-

ti ve employment in llSA.. ,,_ 

3. The Director, while tul.ly reaponaible for .maintaining the security 

of NSA. and for enforcing the prescribed 1ecurity ata.Ddarda, does not poaaeaa 

the requ11ite authority which should ac~ these usigned responsibilities. 

Our proposed legialation has a.a ita priJaar,y purpoae the remedy ot th1a dei"ect. 

In an activity in which the Director bear• aueh heavy oecurity r•ponaibillties 

it is inappropriate that his authority to carry out effectively these reaponsibilitiea sboUl.d be baaed on a "patch-work" or leg1elation, ordere, and 

directiv• tbat., at beat, only indirectly &ive recoguition to the aevere 

security problems faced by an agency such u NSA.. 

4. Currentiy, the onlJ :procedures expreaaly available to the Director 

to e:Uect the tel'Jlination of' an •ployee vboae services are deaned to be no 

longer in the interest of national aecurit)' stem traa Public Lav 733 and ~­

ordera and directi vea .illapleaenting thia Act. Under the authority of PL 733 

only the Secretary of Defense can terminate an employee of NSA. The Director, 

NSA, can only auapend an aaplo,yee. Af'ter suspending an •ployee, the Director 

must then process through the Office of the Secretary at Defense a propoaal 

to terminate the employee. A departmental. hearing board revien the propoaal and forwards ita recaaendations to the Secretaey ot Det'ense for final 

determination.. These procedures are detective in the :following ma.Jor reapecta: 

a. They separate the direct reaponsiblllty ot the Director tor 

CCJUNT eecurity and the authority to ef'f'ectively secure auch security through 

termination action. The Director ia in the posltion of having been aaaigned 

a serious and important reapona1bilit\Y without caaemurate authority to 

carry au.t tboae respona1bU1tiea. 

b. The security hearing board is in the poeition ot reviewing a 

security termination action while under a considerable handicap. The bearing 

b061'd baa little opportunity, because of aecurity restrictions, to rul.ly 

understand and appreciate the gravity of' the security problea involved in 

NSA activities.
