SUBJECT:    Procedures for Handling Downing Committee Requests


      Mr.  Lader  and I met withI         - j and Ray Reardon, OS, today
 to discuss Cexperience on the Review Staff in preparation
 for making recommend tions c ncerning how Downing Committee requests
 should be handled.           ade the following suggestions:

      -- All requests from the Downing Committee should be in writing.

      -- We should check on the tasking sheets formerly used by the
Review Staff.  These sheets showed who had the action, who received
info copies of the requests, and what the proposed deadline for re-
sponse was. They also were forwarded with a copy of the request as
it was received from the Congressional Committee.  Each such request
was assigned a registry number.  IMPORTANT:  Be sure the registry
number assigned to an incoming request is also used for each re-
sponse keyed to that request; i.e., as a reference number on each
response.

      -- Sanitization guidelines should be consistent for all Agency
components and should be developed as soon as possible.
    ---  Mr  Stembridge, OS, has had one discussion already with
r.  Spragupconcerning  security procedures.
      -- File Reviews:  All files reviewed by the Downing Committee
should be kept in one room and should be reviewed in that room.  The
Directorate forwarding such files should be required to send someone
to sit with the Downing Committee staffers when the files are reviewed
