The Special Inves-tigations Gtbup: of- -the CI Staff (CI/SIG)
CI/SIG (the Special Investigations Group) did not exist
prior to the establishment of the CI Staff in early 1955, Its
major functions as described in CSI No. 70-1 of March 1955 are
much more modest than the functions -ascribed to it in a write-up
by the Staff in early 1973. The 1955 description of functions
is as follows:
Special Investigation Unit
Major Functions
Performs the CI investigation and analysis of any
known or potential security leak in the Clandestine
Services organization, whether' in headquarters or in
the field, from the standpoint of its effect on (1)
existing operations, and (2) the cover of personnel.
In performing this function, maintains close working
relations with the Security Office, the latter being
primarily concerned in such cases from Agency
security rather than an operational security stand-
poinrt,
By 1973 the description of tasks which had been assigned
to CI/SIG or which they had absorbed during the course of
events over a period of nearly two decades provides a much
broader range of functions and responsibilities. They are listed
as follows:
CI/Special Investigations Group
1. Conducts research into the long-range validity
of CIA operations in terms of known or potential hostile
capabilities, including penetrations, and of Agency security.
2. Carries out coordination with the Office of Security
in such cases.
3. Maintains and uses sensitive counterintelligence
holdings, including certain Comint and defector materials,
to match these against operational and personality data
and thus to derive operational leads.
4.~ Coordinates and cooperates with counterintelligence
and security elements of other departments and agencies of
the USG to detect, tabulate, and take counter-action against
hostile plans 'or approaches abroad for the recruitment of
American officials (American Targets Program).
