16th National Computer Security Conference, Proceedings: Information Systems Security: User Choices
"Our program this year covers a wide range of topics spanning the new draft Federal Criteria for Information Technology Security, research and development activities, techniques for building secure computer systems and networks, and ethics issues. It reflects the complex technical, economic, international, and social environment in which information system security must be developed, implemented, and practiced. Papers and panels to be presented address topics of particular concern today and for the future: the harmonization of U.S. criteria for information technology security with international criteria, present and future techniques for integrating commercial off-the-shelf products into secure systems, access control and other networking challenges, and the need for contingency planning that was highlighted so recently by the bombing of the World Trade Center. We hope the conference presentations and these proceedings will provide you with insights and ideas that can be applied to your own efforts in information security. We recommend that you share ideas and information presented this week with your peers, your management, and your customers. Through sharing, we will help build the strong foundation of awareness, knowledge, and responsibility needed to enhance the security of our information systems and networks."

Reimbursement for Costs of Attending Certain Banquets: Memorandum for Anthony C. Moscato, Director, Executive Office for United States Attorneys [September 23, 1993]
"You have asked for our opinion whether employees in the United States Attorneys' offices may be reimbursed for the cost of attending retirement banquets for state officials. Your inquiry focuses on the Opinion of the Comptroller General in Richard W. Held, B-249249 (Dec. 17, 1992), which concluded that the cost of an FBI official's attending such a banquet is properly reimbursable. We believe that the Comptroller General's holding was correct and would be applicable to an employee of a United States Attorney's Office attending the same kind of event under like circumstances. However, we caution that application of the Held ruling should be carefully limited to closely similar factual circumstances, where the nature of the ceremonial event in question provides good reason to believe that the official or employee's attendance advances the office's authorized functions."

Suspension of a United States Marshal: Memorandum for Shay Bilchik, Associate Deputy Attorney General [September 23, 1993]
"This memorandum will confirm oral advice, given to the Deputy Attorney General and to the Marshals Service, that the Attorney General has the power to suspend a United States Marshal without pay, with the President's prior approval. She may also designate an Acting United States Marshal during the period of the United States Marshal's suspension. This Office has concluded repeatedly that the Attorney General may suspend a United States Marshal without pay, provided that she has the prior approval of the President. The President's power to appoint a United States Marshal entails the power to remove him. […]The President's removal power includes 'the lesser power to place one upon temporary leave without pay as incidental to the power to appoint and dismiss.'"

Disclosure of Grand Jury Matters to the President and Other Officials: Memorandum for the Attorney General [September 21, 1993]
"This memorandum responds to your request for our legal opinion on the question of whether, and under what circumstances or conditions, the Attorney General may disclose grand jury material covered by Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in briefings presented to the President and other members of the National Security Council (NSC). We conclude that the Attorney General may disclose 6(e) matters to the President or to other NSC members where such disclosure is for the purpose of assisting the Attorney General in her enforcement of federal criminal law. Disclosures satisfying this 'criminal law enforcement purpose' standard may be made without prior court approval or a showing of particularized need, but the names of those who received the information must be supplied to the district court that empaneled the grand jury. […] These court-approved disclosures may be made for the purpose of gaining assistance in civil as well as criminal litigation. We do not believe that any of the 6(e) exemptions would apply to disclosures made to the President or NSC officials for general policymaking purposes, as opposed to obtaining the assistance of those officials for law enforcement purposes."

Ethics Issues Related to the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986: Memorandum for Stephen D. Potts, Director, Office of Government Ethics [September 12, 1993]
"You have asked us to advise whether we agree with a September 27, 1988 letter from the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) to the Department of Commerce (1988 OGE letter) and to review a draft OGE letter to the Special Counsel for Ethics at the Department of Health and Human Services (draft OGE letter). Both letters address issues involving the relationship between federal conflict-of-interest laws and the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (FTTA), as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1501-1534. We believe that the 1988 OGE letter was correct in concluding that payments to a government employee under FTTA section 7 do not violate 18 U.S.C. § 208 or 18 U.S.C. § 209(a). We also agree with the conclusion of the draft OGE letter that, on the specific facts stated there, section 208 bars an employee from working in his official capacity on an invention for which the employee holds a foreign patent, and for which the employee has contracted for foreign commercialization with the same company that is under contract with the federal government to develop the invention."

General Services Administration Printing Operations: Memorandum for Emily C. Hewitt, General Counsel, General Services Administration [September 13, 1993]
"This memorandum responds to your request for our opinion on certain restrictions that the Joint Committee on Printing ('JCP') has attempted to place on the printing operations of the General Services Administration ('GSA'). In particular, you have asked us whether the JCP has the authority to restrict GSA's printing functions, and whether recent legislation has any effect on GSA's authority to engage in printing. We conclude that the JCP does not have the authority to alter GSA's printing operations, but that section 207 of Public Law 102-392 (codified as a note to 44 U.S.C. § 501) mandates procurement of printing for executive branch agencies by or through the Government Printing Office ('GPO')."

Executive Order 12862: Setting Customer Service Standards
"Putting people first means ensuring that the Federal Government provides the highest quality service possible to the American people. Public officials must embark upon a revolution within the Federal Government to change the way it does business. This will require continual reform of the executive branch's management practices and operations to provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. NOW, THEREFORE, to establish and implement customer service standards to guide the operations of the executive branch, and by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. 'Customer Service Standards'. In order to carry out the principles of the National Performance Review, the Federal Government must be customer-driven. The standard of quality for services provided to the public shall be: Customer service equal to the best in business. For the purposes of this order, 'customer' shall mean an individual or entity who is directly served by a department or agency. 'Best in business' shall mean the highest quality of service delivered to customers by private organizations providing a comparable or analogous service." The document continues by listing four additional sections within the executive order.

AF Policy Directive 16-2: Disclosure of Military Information to Foreign Governments and International Organizations
Military information must be conserved and protected from unauthorized disclosures to foreign governments or international organizations. However, special circumstances may warrant releasing military information to foreign entities when it has a clearly defined advantage for the United States. This directive establishes Air Force policies on disclosure and release of information and materiel to foreign governments, international organizations, and their duly authorized representatives. This directive establishes the following responsibilities and authorities: 4.1. The Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF)--as the Secretary of Defense's (SECDEF) delegated authority--discloses or denies military information originated within the US Air Force. In making these decisions, SECAF conforms with the direction of the National Military Information Disclosure Policy Committee (NDPC), which formulates, issues, and administers National Disclosure Policy. The Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs (SAF/IA) is the Secretary's designated Principal Disclosure Authority for matters within the Air Force. This directive applies to all classified military information and to technical data as described in the "International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR)". It also applies to unclassified information containing distribution statements B, C, D, E, F, or X, as defined in AFI 61-207, "Marking Technical Documents". This directive does not govern disclosure of narcotics intelligence, counter-intelligence, or special compartmented information or systems. It also does not apply to US military equipment or information relating to communications security, telecommunications security, or information security, including cryptographic devices and systems.

Report of the Depertment of the Treasury on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Investigation of Vernon Wayne Howell also Known as David Koresh
From the letter of Lloyd Bentsen to William J. Clinton: "I submit to you the report of the Department of the Treasury's Waco Administrative Review (the 'Review'). I established the Review on April 29, 1993, after you directed that Treasury conduct a 'vigorous and thorough' investigation of the events leading to the loss of law enforcement and civilian lives near Waco, Texas, on February 28, 1993. Over the past five months, at my direction. Assistant Secretary for Enforcement Ronald K. Noble has conducted a comprehensive review of the adequacy of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' ('ATF's') procedures, policies, and practices, and whether they were followed during ATF's investigation of Vernon Howell, a/k/a 'David Koresh,' and his followers. As promised, the Review left no stone unturned in finding out what happened and why. The Review's final report recounts the events that culminated in the unsuccessful raid of the Branch Davidian Compound and analyzes why the raid ended in the deaths of four courageous ATF special agents, Conway LeBleu, Todd W. McKeehan, Robert J. Williams, and Steven D. Willis. I know well that no inquiry can bring back any of the lives that were lost near Waco. It is my fervent hope, however, that this review and the changes it will precipitate will prevent the recurrence of such a tragedy in the future."

Leader's Guide to After-Action Reviews
"Modern combat is complex and demanding. To fight and win, we must train our soldiers during peacetime to successfully execute their wartime missions. We must use every training opportunity to improve soldier, leader, and unit task performance. To improve their individual and collective-task performances to meet or exceed the Army standard, soldiers and leaders must know and understand what happened or did not happen during every training event. After-action reviews (AARs) help provide soldiers and units feedback on mission and task performances in training and in combat. After-action reviews identify how to correct deficiencies, sustain strengths, and focus on performance of specific mission essential tasks list (METL) training objectives. This training circular (TC) is a leader's guide on how to plan, prepare, and conduct an AAR. It supplements and expands the guidance in Field Manual (FM) 25-101. Competent leaders must understand and apply the techniques and procedures which produce good AARs."
