ORANDUM FOR: Project Security Officer
2. This memorandum will serve as rn Instruction to you to
I have only today become aware that General Truscott had
requested both TALENT and AQUATONE clearances for his secretary and
his two Staff members. The TALENT briefings have already been given,
and I believe that at least a weak case can be made that the two Staff members
have some need to know about WTAUTOMAT. With respect to the AQUATONE
briefing, however. I have today written a memorandum to General Truscott
explaining that I could not agree to have his two Staff members receive such
a clearance or receive any further briefing on the Project. Specifically, I
have explained to him that they have no need for any knowledge whatever
about organizational, support, technical, or operational matters.
thhOtd such Clearances and briefing from 25X1
I have purposely left open the case of I =I +cause of my belief that 25X1
it is usually wise to have the secretary an a ready witting senior officer
briefed so that she is in a position to receive papers and to give them the
AQUATONE Clearances for General Truscattts
Staff
toareed for AQUATONE.
I will leave this decision to you but would point out that,
briefed., she should be made aware that the two Staff
Byway of follow-up, would you please do the
a. Take appropriate action with respect to l I 25X1
be M UTOMAT personnel are
aware that k are cleared only for TALENT.
