report would be issued daily. A negative report will be issued if no 

OAK report is available. It was further agreed that there would be no

upon the substance of the interpretation until the OAK for the day is 

produced. Inquiries into PIC on previous days' OAKs should be avoided.

transmission directly with Project Communications . (Scheufele to 

check with Thomas on slug for transmission to SAC with necessary 

coordination with Colonel Winterbottom). It is agreed at this time that 

there will not be transmission of OAK to Theater Commands because of 

the sensitivity of the material and the fact that secure arrangements have 

not yet been established for T-KH material overseas.
