NOTE FOR GENERAL.

in Dr. Hall's office called with reference

to t att s udy of ocean surveillance capability. We

had agreed on Monday that the study would be conducted at

the TIC level; however, Dr. Hall says that it really must be

conducted at the BYEMAN level because numerous ocean surveillance studies have been done already, they are b y the

study group, and they are BYEMAN. Dr. Hall asked,

for the names of the people requested to be cleared for the

study, so he could call Dr. McLucas on the subject. He also

reported that contrar y to the initial request for all members

to be cleared , it ha cided that the

common clearance on y nee s 411111011 6 be

MEMORANDUM FORNDOD/DIA arrIN: Mrs.

7 September 1973

SUBJECT: Request for BYEMAN Accesses

NEM

REFERENCE: COMNAVINTCOM Message DTG 302003Z Aug 73

The NRO does not concur in COMNAVINTCOM's request for

BYEMAN accesses to accomplish Dr. Hall's requirement for the

Navy to conduct a comprehensive study of the entire U.S.

ocean surveillance capabilities including applicable NRO

assets.

Since studies of this nature involving NRO assets are

usually conducted under NRO direction, it would be appreciated

if Dr. Hall would inform Dr. McLucas of the nature of this

study so that appropriate arrangements may be made to fulfill

Dr. Hall's requirements.
