(2) It does not include highly sensitive "Q Information" such as numbers
of bombs, methods of manufacture, and other more carefully compartmentalized
information.
(3) This permission by Mr. Dean will avoid getting full Q clearance for
many people who don't need it.
(4) Persons to receive "Type B" will be only those recommended by Dr.
Chadwell, they will be carried on a special dissemination roster, and the names
will be rechecked with I&SS.

Decanbcr 26 .* 1 ftio
Reference is made to your letter of November 14, 1950, in which
you furnished additional information in connection with the re-
quest for authority to disseminate "Type B Restricted Data"
within the Central Intelligence Agency on a "need to knew" 'basis.
The Atomic tergy Commission is working gout new arrangements
ho Department of Defense under which a distinction between
"Type At' and "Type B Restricted Data" would be eliminated. Con-
sequently, the request concerning the dissemination of "Type B
Restricted Data" would have no further meanings upon the conaum-
of this new arrangement which is expected to go into
on in the near future.
go note in your letter that the investigations of applicants for
employment with your Agency are conducted by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and other governmental investigative agencies.
The AEC would normally be able to grant a "Q" clearance to those
CIA employees who have been investigated by the FBI upon receipt
of additional copies of the investigative reports. Such clearance
could be granted without any appreciable delay. it would take
approximately sixty to ninety days to obtain background investi-
gation and AEC "Q" clearance for those CIA employees who have not
been investigated by the FBI.
Since you have indicated that less them( (professional
analysts are involved, we recommend that for the present time
your Agency process for "q" clearance, in accordance with estab-
lished procedures, those employees who will require access to
"Restricted Data."
