    MEMORANDUM FOR:  Deputy Director of Central  Intelligence

    FROM           : Robert W. Gambino
                     Director of Security

    VIA           :  Acting Deputy Director  for Administration

    SUBJECT       :  Probable Compromise of  Information Furnished
                     to the House Select Committee on  Intelligence



         1.  Action Requested:  Your approval  is requested to
    assemble an Agency-wide task force to conduct an overall
    damage assessment of the classified documents and/or information
*   previously furnished by the Agency to the now defunct House
    Select Committee on Intelligence  (HSC).

         2.  Basic Data:  I have been concerned  for some time with

    supplied to the IISC by the Executive Branch was handled from a
    security standpoint and which culminated in  the leak of the
    HSC's draft report to Daniel Schorr.  As you know, leaks of
    classified information to the news media by the uSC began

    of that Committee.

             In addition to the news leaks,  there have been several
    allegations (both substantiated and unsubstantiated) concerning
    classified Agency and Intelligence Community documents which
    *have found their way from the HSC into the hands of unauthorized
    persons.  Two of these allegations have been  referred to the
    Federal Bureau of Investigation  (FBI) and in at least one
    instance (the classified Agency documents  found on the West
    Coast by R&D Associates) the FBI is conducting  an active investi-
    gation.

             The House Committee on Standards  of Official Conduct
    inquiry into the circumstances surrounding  the leak of the
    HSC's draft report to Daniel Schorr generated  substantial
    testimony by former members and staff of  the HSC regarding the
