Ford Chairman, Committee on Post Office and Civil Service House of Representatives 124651 Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: Polygraph and Prepublication Review Policies of Federal Agencies (GAO/NSIAD-84-135) The April 4, 1984, letter from you and the Chairman, Committee on Government Operations, requested that we assist the committees in their on-going efforts examining the effects of National Security Decision Directive -84 (NSDD-84). (See encl. V.) On April 23, 1984, you and Chairman Brooks sent a questionnaire to those agencies and offices that handle classified information. The major purpose of the questionnaire was to determine the effect of the two provisions of NSDD-84 that require (1) all individuals with sensitive compartmented information (SCI) access to sign a nondisclosure agreement containing a prepublication review requirement and (2) all agencies to revise existing policies and regulations as necessary so that employees could be required to submit to a polygraph examination during the course of an investigation of an unauthorized disclosure of classified information. Most of the information you requested from the agencies is included in summary form in enclosure I. It includes actual figures as well as estimated figures where data were not readily available. As agreed with your office, we did not verify the information reported by the agencies, but we did request clarification in many cases. Agencies were asked to respond to the questionnaire within 15 days. By June 5, however, (six weeks after your request) eight agencies and offices had not responded; therefore, data pertaining to them is not included in the information contained in this report. The eight are: the U.S. Arms Control and 0 L U1 (3'59 (391509)
