8. Security Classification Guide for
Geneva Technical Conference
on Control of a Nuclear Test
Moratorium, dated 18 June 1958
(Available through JAEIC
representatives)
The proposed guide was reviewed by the members who agreed
that, from an intelligence viewpoint, the guide, with certain minor
exceptions indicated below, was suitable for use by the U. S. delegation
to the Geneva Technical Conference. It was recognized that some
disclosures of intelligence collection techniques would be involved,
but it was not felt that such disclosures would seriously affect U. S.
ability to collect intelligence on the Soviet Union. The consensus was,
however, that actual disclosures should be kept to the minimum
required to further U. S. aims at the Conference and be conditioned
by the degree of cooperation demonstrated by the Soviet representatives
at the Conference.
Specifically, the members agreed: (a) that ara rah 5. c. (2)
should be kept at its present classification (Secret with the 25X1
understanding that the IAC would give priority reconsideration to

declassifying specific data required if this appeared desirable as
the Conference progressed; (b) that any release to the USSR of
information on test locations under paragraph 5. c. (4) be limited
to the Semipalatinsk and Novaya Zemlya test sites; and. (c) that
data referred to under. paragraphs 5, c. (5), (6) and (7) should apply
only to the Soviet shots listed in Appendix A. In this connection, it
was understood that the members approved the recommended de-
classifications in paragraphs 1 through 5 and in paragraph 7 from a
purely intelligence viewpoint. The members also agreed that they
should not consider the declassification of the items listed in paragraphs
6 and 8, including the appended Bethe article, since the IAC is. not
responsible for -U. $. weapons and weapons effects information. The
,Chairman noted that the Atomic Energy Commission and the Depart-
ment of Defense were undertaking declassification actions with respect
to items in this guide which were properly within their purview.
