Central Intelligence Agency · 2014-07-18 · 57 pages · text by GLM-OCR

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.

## SECRET

arrangements must be made with sufficient advance notice to CIA, ideally with no less than 24 hours notice.

H. (W/FOUO) In order to avoid any confusion about the scope and nature of any future SSCI requests related to this review, SSCI will memorialize all requests in writing and CIA will respond in writing.

1. (U//FOUO) All SSCI personnel will be required to receive and acknowledge receipt of a CIA security briefing prior to beginning the review and will be required to review and sign a standard Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) non-disclosure agreement relating to classified information obligations.

J. (S) CIA expects that the responsive materials will contain information that has been the subject of previous unauthorized disclosures. Due to SSCI's access to this classified official US government information SSCI personnel will be in a position to either confirm or deny the accuracy of those unauthorized disclosures. Such confirmation or denial would itself constitute an unauthorized disclosure and would violate this agreement and the non-disclosure agreement.

4. (S) SSCI personnel understand by their acknowledgement below and through execution of their non-disclosure agreement that the responsive information will be highly classified, compartmented, and is extremely sensitive in nature. Any disclosure, whether intentional or inadvertent, to unauthorized individuals - including TS//SCI cleared but not compartment cleared individuals - is reasonably likely to cause exceptionally grave damage to national security. CIA anticipates that such disclosures could likely physically harm officers and their families as well as could seriously harm otherwise cooperative liaison relationships that provide critical force-multiplier capabilities to counterterrorism operations. Accordingly, SSCI will make all diligent efforts to properly safeguard this information.
