correcting serious physical security deficiencies et tk,.
Railroad Betirement Board's Chicago headouiaztezs. RepcL .Ing of
the findings was delayed until the Board had a reasonable
opportunity to take initial corrective actions. Photo
identification badger have been issued to employees ind are
being checked by security guaid stationed at building
entrances. The Board has begua installing a magnetic kfy entry
s~stem to restrict access to the computer area. Although these
measures shcoi reduce access, the Board must do more to insure

earnings and benefit claims records. The Board should formally
assess physical security of its headquarters facilities and
develop a comprehensive, coordinated physical security plon
which would include manual as well ns automated record systems.
The Board should consider obtaining the assistance of an outside
