Office Memorandum • uNITEn sTATEs GOVERNMENT 

TO Mr. Friedman DATE. 19 June 1954 

FROM Captain McDonald 

SUBJECT. C/SF.C Violations 

l. Possible actions and/or reconunenda.tiona whereby NSA might be able to 

reduce the number of C/SEC violations: 

a. Encourage the cryptologic agencies, and the Services as a whole, 

to make cryptosecurity the primary duty of the responsible officer rather 

than an additional duty as is too often the case. 

b. Assignment of a well-qualified NSA C/SEC man to NSAEUR, NSAFE, etc. 

to advise and instruct the responsible crypto officers on the specific nature 

and causes of violations and the many tools and publications available to 

help prevent breaks if utilized properly. Tb.is NBA man could run a 

quarterly critique, based on the violations listed in these reports, 

and easily trace each break to the operator and ma.chine concerned and 

give on-the-spot instruction on the proper use of the available tools 

to avoid the possibility of such breaks in the future. /( ~ 

c. Encourage a vigorous and continual on-the-job education of the 

operators and the responsible officers in the existence, availability, and 

~of the AFSAGS, JANAPS, OI's, etc., and the ma.chines themselves. 

2. This is one area where the lack of suf'f'iciently well-qualified personnel 

can be partly overcome simply by continually reminding those available of the 

proper use of' the tools and detailed instructions available to them. Ifowever, 

human nature being what it is, a vigorous, continual program should be followed. 

In view of NS4 168, it is entirely within the scope of NSA's authority to 

execute such a program.. 

3 . Some of the actions mentioned above are undoubtedly being carried out 

in some degree in one place or another. However, I do not believe that there 

is a deliberate, well conceived, over-all effort with a singleness of purpose 

designed specifically to promote a vigorous and continual on-the-job educational 

program to reduce the number of C/SEC violations. 

4. Such a program could be undertaken with very little cost by: 

a. Sending appropriate letters to the Services and the cryptologic 

agencies. 

b. Deliberately assigning a C/SEC expert to each NSA overseas headquarters and charging him with the appropriate responsibilities.
