This is a report of investigation by the Central Intelligence Agency's Office of Inspector General, dated 18 July 2014. It covers Agency access to Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff files on RDINet, the network built for the Senate review of the rendition, detention and interrogation program. The report found that five Agency employees improperly accessed the SSCI Majority shared drive and that three IT staff lacked candor. It also found no factual basis for the CIA crimes report against SSCI staff.

13. (U//FOUO) During the course of this investigation, OIG determined that a signed and finalized Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the SSCI and the CIA on the RDI review, including access controls, did not exist. Nevertheless, multiple interviewees referred to the existence of a signed MOU. In this regard, OIG found that that a series of written letters were exchanged between SSCI (Chairman Feinstein, then Vice Chairman Bond
detailing the desires of each side with regard(b)(7)(c)
to the use of CIA space and systems, and SSCI access to documents (Exhibit C). These letters were found to contain some common language with regard to the use of the CIA facilities and computer systems.
14. (U//FOUO) The last letter OIG found on the topic from then D/CIA Panetta to Chairman Feinstein, dated 12 June 2009, described that "an agreement was reached between CIA and SSCI staff personnel regarding operating procedures for the SSCI review of material related to the CIA's detention and interrogation programs." The standard operating procedures (SOPs) referenced appeared to be detailed in a document titled "Standard Operating Procedures for SSCI Review," a three-page, 18-point document produced to OIG by the Office of General Counsel (Exhibit C.e). Point five of the document discussed the Committee's need to "create work product on a walled-off network share-drive" accessible only by the SSCI, and "CIA access to the walled off network shared drive will be limited to CIA information technology staff, except as authorized by the Committee or its staff." Point eight stated that all Committee staff granted access to the Reading Room were required to receive a security briefing. OIG reviewed a document titled "Security Briefing," dated "May 2009," but found no evidence that the briefing was ever provided to SSCI staff participating in the RDI review.
15. (U//FOUO) A separate document, titled "Memorandum of Understanding Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's Review of CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program" $ ^{5} $ (Exhibit C.a), dated 28 May 2009, stated in point "C." that,
A specially designed share-drive will be provided on the Agency's stand-alone network. As SSCI requires, the share-drive can be segregated with only SSCI access and walled-off CIA IT administrators, except as otherwise authorized by SSCI [sic]. Not linked to a story yet.
