Pentagon General Counsel Review of Allegations Regarding Dr. John Deutch
In February 2000, the CIA IG provided to the Department a copy of 26 journals (approximately 675 pages of text) that Dr Deutch had maintained during his tenure at DoD. The CIA had located these journals on three Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) cards which Dr. Deutch had used to store and transfer data from the various computers at his disposal. These journals include Dr. Deutch's detailed descriptions of his daily activities; they focus on his official activities, although they also include many entries of a personal nature. Although the PCMCIA cards may have been authorized for the storage of classified information, the journal entries were entered and worked on from Dr. Deutch's home computers, which were not so authorized.
