tion with a Management Training Course.

advised that Project AQUILINE material had actually been down-
graded to CONFIDENTIAL and made available to various U.S. mili-
tary services. He saw no objection to making the requested
material available to OTR.

ments in Project AQUILINE to prepare various sections of a

would not be used by the students in the course but would be used
by the instructor to compile course material. For instance, he
said sections under project history, project requirements, project
technical problems etc, would be produced from an analysis of
project documents. As a result this request was really for per-
mission to deal with the substance of project documents at a
SECRET level.
