MEMCR;:l~DUM FOa GENERAL BERG 

SUBJECT: 'lile Handling of Certain Types of NRP Information 

Relevant Especiall~ to the Photographic 

Interpretation Agencies . 

May I suggest that when you have familiarized yourself 

with the attac~ed papers that Mr. Mazza and Colonels Worthman, 

Carter, and Howard and I sit down with you to disCuss them. 

In a recent discuSSion with Colonels Worthman and Carter 

it appears that their preference would be to stay with the 

conclusion reached by General Stewart in his memorandum. I 

find this both unnecessary and impractical. I guess the issue 

really lies in paragraphs a. and b. of my left-hand memo and 

I in paragraphs 1 and 2 of the dra±'t memo to COMOR. I f we were 

to ~nsist on the selected operational messages not going to 

the PI centers, I suppose we could rewrite the critical information needed in the messages and make it available to the 

PI centers. In the case of the manuals, if we have included 

information not needed in the manuals published up to now, I 

guess we could republish them excluding the information which 

is mutually agreed does not need to be there. However, to 

put that type of manual in the BYEMAN System at this juncture 

after about five years of practice and in view of one of the 

recommendations of the JIIRG report bearing on this subject 

would raise an outcry of major proportion. The definition of 

planning information in c. of my le1t-hand memo (para 3 of 

the memo to COMOR) could be, no doubt, modified. At the 

moment it is language suggested by Colonel Howard which he 

might wish to refine a bit. 

It is, interesting that this exercise started with a proposal by DIA which they made in order to meet the needs of c., 

namely, planning--an area where they had h.ad difficulty in

satisfying their own people w~~n enough BYEMAN clearances. 

'The trend of opinion within t~e office, beginning with Dr. Flax, 

has been to'rearrange those areas in which D1A was not dissatisfied, namely, operational messages and manuals. 

In the course of discussions on this subject, the questions have been raised "Why have a BYEMAi'l' System at all?" or 

tfWha t! s left in the BYEMAN System?!!. At this point in time, 

it is quite clear to me that the BYEMAN System or its likes 

is necessary as long as we require security in the participation of the industrial community. As to the second question, 

my answer would be ITA great deal.!! 

In <1-ny event the problem that we must face is the need 

to develop a security interface with the consumer which 

enhances his ability to exploit what we select and does not 

entail unreasonable administrative burdens in achieving that 

objective.
