Mr. H. Patrick Swygert,
  Special Counsel         DLC,   X5 f1
Office of Special Counsel
1717 H Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20419

Dear Mr. Swygert:

     As part of our oversight activities at the Office
of Special Counsel we evaluated the physical security
procedures currently used for controlling access to
case files. We discussed these matters with your
staff. In our opinion, the files are not adequately
protected from unauthorized access.

     We noted the following deficiencies.

     --Written security procedures have not been estab-
       lished to instruct employees in protecting files
       from unauthorized access.

     --Several employees who work in the file room
       reportedly have keys to the room but may not
       actually have the need for access to the case
       files.

     --The lock on the supply cabinet where all the
       file cabinet keys are stored is broken. As a
       result, anyone having access to this room has
       possible access to all of the case files.

     --No record is maintained for the date and time
       the file cabinets are opened and closed, and
       by whom.

     --Files containing confidential information are
       not labeled or stamped to identify them as
       warranting special physical protection and
       control.
