    Memorandum on Upgrading Security at Federal Facilities
    June 28, 1995

    Memorandum for Executive Departments and Agencies

    Subject: Upgrading Security at Federal Facilities

        I have received from the Department of Justice a study entitled,
    ``Vulnerability Assessment of Federal Facilities.'' In order to ensure
    adequate security for Federal facilities, I am adopting immediately a
    number of the recommendations of the Department of Justice Study.
        I hereby direct that:
        1. Each Federal facility shall, where feasible, be upgraded to the
    minimum security standards recommended for its security level by the
    Department of Justice Study;
        2. All executive departments and agencies (``agencies'') shall
    immediately begin upgrading their facilities to meet the recommended
    minimum security standards, to the extent possible within currently
    available funding;
        3. By October 15, 1995, the General Services Administration (GSA),
    those agencies with facilities in Security Level IV GSA space, and the
    Office of Management and Budget (OMB) shall identify funding, no later
    than in the FY97 budget cycle, for the cost of upgrading Level IV
    facilities to the minimum security standards recommended by the
    Department of Justice Study;
        4. By February 1, 1996, GSA and all agencies shall consult with OMB
    regarding funding mechanisms for upgrading all remaining Federal
    facilities to the minimum security standards recommended by the
    Department of Justice Study; and

    [[Page 965]]

        5. All agencies shall adhere to the attached timetable for
    implementing this directive.
        I also have directed OMB to review the remaining recommendations of
    the Department of Justice Study, and to advise me within 30 days from
    the date of this memorandum concerning the implementation of those
    recommendations.
