The Interagency Audio Surveillance Countermeasures Training
Center (ITC) was established at the instigation of this Committee and
opened in late 1968 under the executive management of CIA. The
need for such a school had been recognized by the National Security
Council's Technical Subcommittee as far back as 1962 and was re-
emphasized by the Security Committee of the USIB in their October
1964 report titled "Damage Assessment of the Technical Surveillance

: © Penetration of the US Embassy, Moscow.”

Membership on the TSCC has been confined to agencies and .
departments who are represented on the USIB. From time to time -
other elements of the Government have indicated their concern over

: | the audio surveillance threat and asked for membership on the
. Committee. In all cases they have been turned down with the
suggestion that they take advantage of the TSCC's product either :
through liaison with the security organizations of the Committee's
. members or by nominating students to attend the ITC. During |
