~uties and assiqned less sensitive duties. Adverse suitnoilitv
information was' Qleaned froM official records and 07ficial Sour.ces
and brouoht to thE attention of ~1r. Carroll. rlr. Carroll, in turn,
requested an investigation of the individual froM USAINTC. -
d. In still another instance, adverse suitahillty infonnation

for a sensitive position both at Fort Ritchie and the AJCC. Adverse
suitability information was qleanerl from official records and
Official Sources an;! brounht to the attention of both COL t1i1nniinq
and t'lr. Carroll. -Prior to an "investiaation lJeinq requested by
Mr. Carroll, the individual concerned aQain became involved with
1.:.\.}en70rcment aC]encics and, after counsell ine by COL '~anning ,.
offered to resian fro:n th~ US Arrr;y. The afore!Tlentioned incident
was particularly delicate as the individual concerned was a graduate
of the US !',il i tary .I\cademv and possessed a di 5 ti nl1ui shed COlilbat
recorrl in the Republic of Vietnam. eOl ~anninn and Mr. Carro11 both
expressed co~plete satisfaction in the manner in which the PLO
bro~0ht the adverse suitability information to their attention and
concurred \'lith PLO in recomMendations offered.

e. Hhile drua abuse, per se, is not \-lithin the investi(Jative

purviel'/ of IISAWTC, the issue does involve suitability of the
individuals concernerJ to hold security clearances and occupy

to the aforementioned, action was taken to disseminate infon~ation,
criminal in nature, to the appropri'lte military and civilian
authorities. COL Manninq and Mr. ~arrol' both expressed satisfaction
in the decrease of druQ abuse relaterl incidents durina reDortin~ period and

d. Useful Information Obtained:

<, (1) At an undetermined time ~ithin the past year, the Pentagon
, Telecommunications Center (PTC) requested that the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(JCS) Communications Center provide the PTC with a magnetic tape con-
taining test messages recorded by the Burroughs DB25 Automated Message
tf,: Processing System, a system used by the JCS, in order for the PIC to

of technical factors.
Center could not provide the test message tape because
This led to the Telecommunications Directorate,
I . Site R, Ft Ritchie, receiving the tasking for the test tape preparation.
A number of innocuous, unclassified messages were prepared by the commu-
nications personnel at Site R on a 2,500 foot reel of magnetic tape, which
~as sent to the PTC, where, because the messages were unclassified, it lay
in open storage, unsecured, for about six weeks. During the processing
which followed to make the two systems compatible, it was discovered that
the tape also contained fragments of highly sensitive, classified messages
which had been picked up from residual magnetism on the drums or reels of
the Burroughs equipment when the test messages were recorded. A source
of this ICIP reported this information believing that a compromise could
have occurred when the test tape was not secured. The information was
reported to the Commander, US Army Communications Center Operations Co~
mand, who initiated an investigation of the incident which resulted in a
change of security procedures for the handling/storage of computer tapes,
reels, and discs. Since the FTC is a secure area .in itself, it is believed
that the information in question had not been compromised.

(2) During the reporting period, SOurces surfaced adverse suitability

information on 47 individuals assigned to Fort Ritchie and the Alternate
Joint Communications Center (AJCC) , Site R. In the majority of instances,
the adverse suitability information dealt with drug abuse. Information
was brought to the attention of tbe ICIP Coordinator of the supported
command. Individuals concerned are being monitored, and an investigation
wag requested on one individual.

e. Operational Status:

(1) The revised CANARY EFFORT Operations Plan which reflected target
realignment resulting from reorganization of the USACe into the 7th Signal
Command was approved by the ACSI on 15 September 1975. A request has been
submitted for assignment of an additional Great Skills PCO to provide more
adequate coverage of the increased target areas which have resulted from
this reorganIzation.

(2) On 1 July 1975. CPT Richard E. Graff, Project Liaison Officer

.
(PLO). CENSUS TDIE, was introduced to COL Donald E. C lar k, Coanander, USACe
.
.- Operations Command. at the AJCC, Site R. COL Clark had been previously
briefed on the ICIP on 18 March 1915, but the purpose of this meeting was
to acquaint COL Clark with tbe IClP CENSUS TIME which is conducted at the
Pentagon Telecommunications Center (PTC) , prior to his assumption of com-
mand at the PTC. On 1 August 1975, the CENSUS TIME and CANARY EFFORT
Project Liaison Officers briefed COL Clark at the USAeC PTC on both of
these ICIPs since both of thero involve USACC Operations Command and its
subordinate ~lements.

(3) On 18 August 1975) tbe CANARY EFFORT PLO and COL Stubblebine,
Commander, 90Ld HI Group, visited the USACC East Coast Telecommunications
Center (ECTC), Ft Detrick, MD, fora facility briefing, since the facility
,.. is now being covered in the revised CANARY EFFORT OPLAN. The introductory
briefing on the ICIP was presented to LrC Jackie L. Manbeck, Commander,
USACC ECTC, and CW2 George S. Trivett, OIC, Security Division) USACCECTC.
The CDR, 902d MI Group, and the PLO also made a courtesy visit to ooL J. A.
Pastore, CDR, Fort Detrick.

(4)On 27 August 1975, eOL John s. Eberle, CDR, USACC Site R Tele-
communications Center, was provided an introductorybriefing on the ICIP
CANARY EFFORT.

(5) On 18 September 1975, the Quarterly Progress Briefing was pre-

sented to the CDR, USACC Operations Command, COL Clark, at the USACC
Operations Command, USACC PTC, Wash, DC, in conjunction with the CENSUS
TIME Quarterly Progress Briefing because of the inter-relationships of
both ICIPs.
(6) On 25 September 1975, the PLO presented the Quarterly Progress
Briefing to tbe supported command with the following in attendance:
eOL Harold G. deKoya, CDR, Ft Ritchie; eOL John S. Eberle, CDR, USACC
Site R Telecommunications Center; COL John J. Plossy, Jr., Deputy CDR,
Fort Ritchie, and ACSl&S, 7th Signal Command. All of the above offi-
cials expressed their appreciation and continued enthusiasm for the IClP
and made laudatory comments concerning the counterintelligence support
rendered during the reporting period.

, improprieties and mental instability. As a result of the information
furnished, four individuals had their access to classified information
suspended; investigations were requested on three individuals; and the
: r,~ activities of the other individuals are being monitored.
.
(2) Information was reported concerning an individual who resembled a
suspected KGB member. The individual has paid an inordinate degree of
attention to the activities of a US civilian firm and a sensitive ship-
ment destined for Fort Ritchie. Another individual reported conversations
tbat occurred in August 1974 in a bar in Waynesboro, PA where he learned
that a.n individual believed to be a contract employee claimed to have
ha.d contacts with Soviets who worked in Hagerstown, MD. Both incidents
were reported to the FBI with a request for investigation.

e. Operational Status:

(1) On 25 June 1975. the PLO briefed COL Harold G. deMoya, Cdr,
Fort Ritchie, and COL John J. Plosay, Jr., Deputy CdT, Fort Ritchie.

(2) COL Donald E. Clark assumed command of the 7th Signal Command
(which includes the Pentagon Telecommunications Center) on 18 July 1975
and was briefed on CANARY EFFORT. The 902d HI Group which is conducting
the IClP at Fort Ritchie prepared a revised operations plan reflecting
changes in mission and target areaS which resulted from the reorganization
of the US Army Communications Command (USACC) into the 7th Signal Command.
Prior to the reorganization. the Telecommunications Directorate, located at
Site "Rn and thle primary target for the ICIP, was under the operational
control of the Cdr, Fort Ritchie. Under the neworgani~ation, the
Telecommunications Directorate, as well as the telecommunications centers
throughout CONUS, are under the operational control of a new established
activity, the USACC Operations Command.

d. Useful Information Obtained: An lCIP source reported that a PTC
civilian emp1oyeE:'s effeminate gestures and high pitched voice were respon-
sible for office gossip that the employee was a homosexual. The employee,
who is currently employed as a relay operator, was transferred from the
coding and decoding section because he allegedly coded an obscene message
that was to be sent to an overseas user. The ICIP source provided other
information concerning possible security violations involving the employee.
The employee's d()ssier was examined and it was noted that during a back-
ground imrestigat:ion conducted approximately ten months ago, there were
recon:tnendationsthat the employee not be considered for positions of trust
and responsibility. "Investigative.efforts are continuing to verify or
refute allegations concerning the employee.

e. Operational Status: The reorganization of the US Army Communica-

tions Command at Ft Ritchie into the 7th Signal Command has had an effect
on the operational status at the FTC. COL Clark, who has a positive atti-
tude toward the lCIP assumed command of PTC in July, and was given a full
progress report t:>f this operation. All personalities in the operation
have changed. 1]0 addition to the new commander who is amiable to the
program, there is a new security manager, CPT Richard Pederson, who gave
the program support previously when he was assigned to the Defense Language
Institute, East Coast. Washington) DC. A new PID has also been assigned to
the operation. With the above personnel changes and COL Clark's encouraging
attitude. this ~CIP is now afforded an excellent opportunity to expand and
be more productive.

(1) Confidential and conventional sources employed in the operation

surfaced information or. adverse suitability pertaining to 86 employees
at Fort Ritchie, all of whom had security clearances and access to one
of the sensitive activities supported. The suitability inform~tion
included the entire spectrum in this category - alco.bol and drug abuse,
moral improprieties and mental instability. In these instances investi-
gative action was taken to refute or substantiate t1:LeallegatiDns or the
individuals were removed from access to classified information. About
50% of the cases reported involved some degree of drug abuse; these ~ere
referred to the Criminal Investigation Command (CrD) for action.

(2) Two separate reports were received concerning suspected Soviet

Intelligence presence and interest in the activities of .the supported
installation. Details of these reports were provided the FBI in May 19i5.

a. Location: Fort Ritchie. MD

b. Confidential Source Utilization: Three

c. Information Obtained or Reported on Non-Affiliated Civilians:

None

d. Useful Information Obtained:

(1) On 15 January 1976, the PLO, as a result of a liaison visit

with the Baltimore Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
obtained data on the presence of Sino-Soviet Bloc personnel travelling
within the environs of the target areas and information on tbose Sino-
Soviet bloc personnel residing temporarily in the environs of the
target area.

(2) On 28 January 1976 a member of the 572d Military Police Co,

Ft Ritchie, was approached by an unidentified individual at Hagerstown
Junior College, Hagerstown, MD, who claimed to be employed at Site R.
The individual described Site R in general terms, but made no attempt
to elicit information from the soldier. Investigative efforts failed
to identify the individual. All available information was provided the
Hagerstown Resident Office of the FBI. A USAINTA investigat:~on of the
incident is continuing.

(3) On 28 January 1976, an unidentified individual appn)ached a

soldier assigned to the US Army Communications Command East Coast Tele-
communications Center (USACCECTC) and requested a tour of that facility.
The individual appeared interested in the antenna configuration of
Satellite Communications/Direct Communication Links (SATCOM/OSL). The
request for the tour was refused; the soldier reported the incident.
All available information was provided the Hagerstown Resident Office of
the FBI. USAINTA investigation of the incident is continuing.

(4) During the reporting period information was developed on a

Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) employee who is a bartender. employed at the
Ft RitchYNCO Club. The bartender allegedly claimed to patrons that
she was in the employ of both "Military Intelligence" and the "CIA."
An investigat:Lon is being conducted by USAINTA.

(5) On 18 March 1976, a US Army NCO assigned sensitive duties in

the Alternate National Military Command Center (ANMCC) volm.teered
information concerning his entering into correspondenc.e with an agency
of the East German Government. The NCO, who has been researching his
family history for the last six years, was attempting to obtain a record
of the military service of his great-great grandfather in the period
circa 1810. In the course of an inquiry to the Federal Republic of

advised to contact the German Historical Central Archives in East

matter of official record in the event he should be contacted in anv
fashion by East Germany in the future. The Chief, ANMCC, was provided
information on the above. The NCO was given a SAEDA briefing under
the provisions of AR 381-12 with special emphasis on reporting proce-
dures. The NCO ~ll provide Army Intelligence with copies of any
correspondence he receives in this regard. At present the opportunity
for further exploitation appears minimal.
