Guide to Procurement of Trusted Systems: An Introduction to Procurement Initiators on Computer Security Requirements
This document is a guideline designed for those who must identify and
satisfy deliverable data requirements associated with security-relevant
acquisitions of trusted, stand-alone systems. It identifies what must be
complied with, what must be read, what must be written, and what others must
be instructed to write. The detailed acquisition process, coupled with the
technical complexity of computers, security, and contracting, represents an
unsolvable mystery for many. The goal of this document is to help clarify
the complex issues.

DOE Standard: Hazard Categorization and Accident Analysis Techniques for Compliance with DOE Order 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports
"The purpose of this DOE Standard is to establish guidance for the preparation and review of hazard categorization and accident analyses techniques as required in DOE Order 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports. This new Order requires further guidance to ensure consistency across all nuclear facilities within the DOE complex. This DOE Standard imposes no new requirements on nuclear facilities. Instead, it focuses on (1) the definition of the
standard identifying nuclear facilities required to have SARs in order to comply with the Order, (2) the SAR implementation plan and schedule, (3) the hazard categorization methodology to be applied to all facilities, and (4) the accident analysis techniques appropriate for the graded approach addressed in the Order. DOE Order 5480.23 and its attached guidance document provide some direction on the use of the graded approach. This report is intended not to
supersede that direction, but to supplement and clarify it. Methods other than those suggested in this guide may be considered for applying the graded approach, but they must be justified whenever grading is applied."

BCCI Affair: A Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate by Senator John Kerry and Senator Hank Brown, December 1992
"BCCI cannot be taken as an isolated example of a rogue bank, but a case study of the vulnerability of the world to international crime on a global scope that is beyond the current ability of governments to control. Its multi-billion dollar collapse is merely the latest in a series of international financial scandals that have bedeviled international banking this century. Its techniques and its associations with government officials, intelligence agencies, and arms traffickers, were neither new nor unique. The rise and fall of BCCI is not an isolated phenomenon, but a recurrent problem that has grown along with the growth in the international financial community itself. Given the extraordinary magnitude of international financial transactions -- which amount to some $4 trillion per day moving through the New York clearance system alone -- the opportunities for fraud are huge, the rewards great, and the systems put in place to protect against them, far from adequate, as this report demonstrates in some detail. The scope and variety of BCCI's criminality, and the issues raised by that criminality, are immense, and beyond the scope of any single investigation or report. This report, the product of some four years of investigation by the Subcommittee, while extensive, can merely provide a basic guideline to the fundamental facts and issued raised by the BCCI affair."

Shoreline Countermeasures Manual: Temperate Coastal Environments
"Shoreline countermeasures following an oil spill are a critical element in determining the ultimate environmental impact and cost resulting from a spill. As with most aspects of spill response, careful planning can significantly increase the effectiveness of treatment operations. Local response organizations need to develop mechanisms for identifying shorelines requiring treatment, establishing treatment priorities, monitoring the effectiveness and impacts of treatment, and for identifying and resolving problems as the treatment progresses. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed this manual as a tool for shoreline countermeasure planning and response by Regional Response Teams, Area Planning Committees, and State response agencies. The manual is presented as a template that can be tailored for each region or area."

Germany and the Future of Nuclear Deterrence in Europe
"The dissolution of the Soviet Union and the unification of Germany have fundamentally changed the politics of security in Europe. This thesis analyzes German perspectives on the international security environment and offers judgements [sic] about the probable future role of nuclear deterrence in Europe. The thesis begins with a survey of the role of nuclear deterrence in the security policy of the Federal Republic of Germany during the period prior to reunification in 1989- 1990. This is followed by an analysis of German views on the West European nuclear powers: the United Kingdom and France. German views on the U.S. nuclear presence and U.S. commitments to Europe are then examined. German views on nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union and the potential for proliferation on Europe's periphery complete the survey. For the short term, Germany will not change its present policies regarding nuclear deterrence in Europe. The German nation is likely to remain preoccupied with the reunification process for several years, and German politicians are not disposed to seek a debate on nuclear deterrence. The Germans generally consider Britain and France incapable of providing adequate nuclear protection for the Federal Republic in the near term, so the Germans will continue to rely on the United States for a nuclear guarantee."

Preventive Medicine Information Concerning Hurricane Andrew
"Four days following Hurricane Andrew, this Center received a request from CAPT Richard Gorham, U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Hurricane Andrew-Preventive Medicine Task Force Leader, to provide preventive medicine/vector control assistance. Three days later, an assessment team consisting of one medical entomologist, one epidemiologist, and two preventive medicine technicians (PMTs) was dispatched to Dade County, Florida. Two additional vector control teams consisting of four medical entomoloqists, three PMTs, and related vector control equipment were a150 sent during the ensuing four days (see enclosure (1)). The area or most severe destruction covered more than 100 square miles, included many medium-sized cities and an entire air force base (Homestead), and damage was estimated at more than 20 billion dollars. At least 150,000 homes were badly damaged (50 percent of those were totally destroyed), and more than 250,000 persons were left homeless. Once in the area, the three teams coalesced into one Navy preventive medicine detachment (PMD) with the following goals: to evaluate needs in the storm-stricken area, establish points of contact, and render all necessary assistance to on-site USPHS and local authorities. Relief efforts included establishing a county-wide CO2-trap mosquito surveillance program, providing mosquito and fly control support to more than 25 separate commands/civilian groups, and furnishing administrative support in the tracking of shipments of donated insect repellent and rodenticides."

Antisubmarine Warfare: Considerations for Future Operations in Third World Regions
"Recent world change requires that the United States Navy review strategic objectives, operational concepts, and supporting warfare applications - among them antisubmarine warfare (ASW). This paper reviews possible implications from an ASW perspective as the U.S. shifts focus from the former Soviet threat to the Third World. The purpose of this paper is not to speculate in which areas the U.S. might become involved. Nor does the paper address detailed strategic or tactical implications. Instead, this paper addresses what operational ASW-related areas might possibly require review and modification, providing rationale regarding why these areas might be affected. ASW doctrine in the past has focused on the former Soviet nuclear submarine threat operating in open 'blue water'. New doctrine and operational concepts must be developed which are applicable to conventionally-powered (non-nuclear propulsion) submarines operated by Third World countries in littoral shallow water regions. Revised concepts must be developed which consider threat diversity, the environment, and technology."

Undercover and Sensitive Operations Unit Attorney General's Guidelines on FBI Undercover Operations Revised 11/13/92
"The following Guidelines on the use of undercover activities and operations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are issued under the authority of the Attorney General provided in Title 28, United States Code, Sections 509, 510, and 533. They apply to all investigations conducted by the FBI, except those conducted pursuant to its foreign counterintelligence and foreign intelligence responsibilities. The use of the undercover technique, including proprietary business entities, is essential to the detection, prevention, and prosecution of white collar crimes, public corruption, terrorism, organized crime, offenses involving controlled substances, and other priority areas of investigation. However, these techniques inherently involve an element of deception and may require cooperation with persons whose motivation and conduct are open to question, and so should be carefully considered and monitored."

Deterrence during Hostilities: A New 'Triad' for the Middle East
"Due to the presence of weapons of mass destruction and the will to employ them in the Middle East, the operational commander of the next conflict must understand and employ a new deterrent triad. This triad is composed of the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of deterrence. Current Marine, Army, and Air Force doctrine naturally support it. However, to work, it must be intelligently orchestrated--it will not happen just because the doctrine supports it. As the warfighting professional, the operational commander must conduct future campaigns with an integral, multi-level deterrent focus. It will be his responsibility to maintain a viable force in theater, and thus it will be his responsibility to execute the new triad for the Middle East. A deterrent concept which must be executed at the operational level to protect forces."

National Strategy, Future Threats and Defense Spending
"In the early 1990's, the world has seen unprecedented changes in the global security environment that have drastically altered the balance of power, and the manner in which nations of the world interact. The evolving international security environment has significant implications for the use of United States military forces in support of national strategic objectives. In the last two year, the world has seen the fall of the Berlin Wall, the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Simply stated, the paradigm has broken. The comfortable, albeit dangerous, post-World War II world that we lived in has become more uncertain and unstable. This study investigates the national security strategy of the United States by identifying threats to our interests, our military forces and their employment and current defense budget trends. Using this as a baseline, projections are made concerning the future security requirements. Post-Cold War national interests are discussed, future threats identified and budget adjustments developed."

Final Report and Recommendations: Federal Emergency Management Agency Security Practices Board of Review, November 1992
"Any review of FEMA's personnel security program must consider that the world has changed drastically in the past three years. The original Executive order establishing the personnel security program for the Federal Government was promulgated in 1953 during the first administration of President Eisenhower. At that time, the world faced the threat of militant and aggressive communism, and, with it, the United States experienced the traumatic environment that is commonly referred to as 'McCarthyism. The geopolitical tenor in the world has evolved from that of two superpowers with their client and satellite states to that of one superpower and a series of states involved in a search for stability and development. This is complicated by a multitude of ethnic, nationalist and sectarian disputes and conflicts. Heavily armed and aggressive thirdworld actors contribute to the instability. Change is so accelerated that time appears to be compressed. The Board was struck by the complexity of laws and regulations that have evolved over the last 40 years to meet the threats to national security. Because of fundamental geopolitical changes in the nature of the threat, the Board recommends that the time has come for a thorough review, in all departments of the government, of procedures and criteria for personnel security. FEMA provides an excellent example of an organization with once onerous security requirements that the Board believes are no longer relevant, or in anyway comparable to previous times."

Operations in a Low-Intensity Conflict
"The possibility of US troops becoming involved in a low-intensity conflict (LIC) is ever increasing. This manual provides the framework for understanding LIC at the battalion and brigade levels to include the definition and nature of LIC, the military's role, imperatives, and operational categories. It also provides leadership considerations that affect low-intensity operations.
LIC is a politico-military confrontation between contending states or groups. It is below general war and above routine peaceful competition. It often involves protracted struggles of competing principles and ideologies. LIC ranges from subversion to the use of armed force. It is waged by a combination of means, employing political, economical, informational, and military instruments. LICs are often localized, usually in the Third World, but they contain regional and global security implications."

We believe that the Conference will stimulate a vital and dynamic exchange of information and foster an understanding of emerging technologies. The theme for this year's conference, Information Systems Security: Building Blocks to the Future, reflects the continuing importance of the broader information systems security issues facing us. At the heart of these issues are two items which will receive special emphasis this week-Information Systems Security Criteria (and how it affects us), and the actions associated with organizational accreditation. These areas will be highlighted by emphasizing how organizations are integrating information security solutions. You will observe how Government, Industry, and Academe are cooperating to extend the state-of-the-art technology to information systems security. Presentations will provide you with some thoughtful insights as well as innovative ideas in developing your own solutions. Additionally, panel members will address how they develop their automated information security responsibilities. This cooperative educational program will refresh us with the perspectives of the past, and will project directions of the future. We firmly believe that awareness and responsibility are the foundations of all information security programs. For our collective success, we ask that you reflect on the ideas and information presented this week; then share this information with your peers, your management, your administration, and your customers. By sharing this information, we will develop a stronger knowledge base for tomorrow's journey."

CIA Documents on the Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962
"The collection in this volume includes many of CIA's most important documents on the Cuban missile crisis. It contains the 'honeymoon cables' that Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) John A. McCone sent to Headquarters from France a month before the missile crisis, as well as McCone's notes taken during the National Security Council Executive Committee meetings at the height of the crisis. It also includes intelligence memorandums and estimates, briefing papers, Cuban refugee reports, and memorandums on Operation MONGOOSE, the clandestine program aimed at destabilizing the Castro regime. Many of the evaluations of the missile threat contained here draw upon IRONBARK material, whose source was Soviet Col. Oleg Penkovsky. To the degree possible, the documents in this volume are organized according to the date of subject matter, so that a February 1963 document discussing a September 1962 event will appear among September 1962 documents. In general, support documents follow documents that summarize a sequence of events. To conserve space and speed declassification, excerpts have been taken from some of the lengthier entries."
