Dear Mr. Kinney
This is in reply to Mr. E.E. Lowry's letter of 23 April, which forwarded
to CIA for classification review, under E.O. 12065, a document found in the
systematic review of classified OSD documents.
The document is a memorandum of March 6, 1951, from our Assistant
Director of Scientific Intelligence to the chairman of the Research and Develop-
ment Board. It is a copy of the same memorandum that was one of the subjects
of your request of 20 March 1981 for declassification review. This office
replied on 3 April 1981 that the document must retain its classification of
SECRET, being exempt from declassification under paragraph 1-301(c) of Executive
Order 12065. The next review date is 1991.
The document is returned to you herewith as requested.

The Chairmen
Research and. Development Board
Atcmic Energy Intelligence Objeotives
L. Reference is made to your memorandum of 13 December 1950 which
submitted atomic energy intelligence requiramente for the Research and.
Development Board. The intelligence requirements submitted, by your
office and'others, both members and. non-members of the Intelligence
Advisory Committee, were consolidated by the Joint Atamic Energy
Intelligence Cannittee into a 'Consolidated Statement of Intelligence
Objectives in the Yield of Atonic Energy". This statement was presented
to the Intelligenee AdviSory Cammittee at their meeting of 8 February
1951 and was approved, as presented. For your information, a copy of
the approved statement is attached.
2. In ocmparing the Consolidated Statement of Intelligence
Objectives with the requirements est forth in your memorandum you will
notice that these-objeotiVes-are expressed Only in Teri' general terms.
Caisideration vas given to spelling Out these objectives more specifically,
but it vas conclude& that to do no would result in a lengthy, unwieldy,
and unnecessarily detailed. document, which would. be subject to inter-
pretation and argument-over really eloneessintial ditailsi-. It wee felt
that each information 'collecting end proceseing agency erduld break dawn
these general objectives into more sPecifio ones in accordance with their
individual capability and responsibility under National Security Council
and other 'pertinent Intelligence Directives.
k
3. The Central Intelligence Agency, primenily through the mechaniam
of the Joint Atemic Energy Intelligence Committee, will Ilene from time
to time reparbe and. estimates in the field of ethnic energy intelligence.
These reports will try to Satisfy the intelligence needs for national
security planning as expresso& by these objectives. If, at any time, you
feel that such reports as are issued do not adequately satisfy your needs,
I invite your criticiams'or suggestions and will be nnet happy to discuss
such problems with you at your convenience.

During the systematic review of all classified Office of the Secretary
of Defense (OSD) documents over 20 years old, the Declassification and
Historical Research Branch, Records Management Division, Directorate for
Correspondence and Directives, Washington Headquarters Services, turned
up the attached document(s).
The documents were either originated by your agency, contain information
for which your agency is the classification authority, or are otherwise
of interest to you.
It is therefore requested that your agency review the documents and
recommend declassification, continued classification at the present or
lesser level of classification, and/or review by other agencies. If your
agency is recommending continued classification, in accordance with Para-
graph 3-401, Executive Order 12065, it is requested that an authority for
continued classification be specified, along with a date for the next review.
The time permittedby Executive Order 12065 to reach the point where all
OSD documents over 20 years old have been reviewed, and the large volume
of over 20 year old OSD documents, make it necessary to request your res-
ponse within 60 days. In your response, you may wish to provide guidance
with regard to what categories of information you do and do not wish to
have referred to you in the future.
Your assistance in effecting this review will be most appreciated. Please
return the documents to Mr. Brian V. Kinney, Chief, Declassification and
Historical Research Branch, Records Management Division, Washington Head-
quarters Services, Room 1D517, Pentagon, Washington, D.C. 20301, upon
completion of your review.
