The purpose of the meeting was to provide the NIO
with a quick verbal update of TACANA project progress.
The information presented is identical to that appearing
in the TCT report of 5. March 1976.
The second purpose of the meeting was to discuss
security aspects of the Avian Program and establish some
firm security guidelines for future project activities.
The following security guidelines were established for
the project:
1. Labels will be developed and attached
to the camera reauesting their return to
in the event of inadvertant
loss.
2. The training and demonstration
procedures used in the TACANA program will
stringently avoid any photographic targets
that could even remotely be considered an
invasion of individual privacy.
3. All practice targets will be U.S.
Government installations or contractor mockups.

4. These targets will only be used after
obtaining the express permission of the host
Agency.
5. At no time will the camera be left in
the hands of the contractor. Agency employees
will control and operate the camera system
during each phase of testing. This also
applies to the film used in the camera.
6. A log of film useage will be maintained.
7. Only target related pictures will be
retained in Agency files.
8. Non-target related pictures (if any are
obtained) will be examined for technical purposes
and then be destroyed.
These procedures have been established in coordination
with Mr. Barry Kelly to ensure that TACANA training efforts
in the United States can in no way be construed to be a
form of "domestic spying".
Just prior to the conclusion of the meeting Dr. Adkins
presented a description of camera development progress to
date and displayed a number of excellent pictures that
had been obtained in a recent flight (bird and camera)__
of the camera systems.
