l. The enclosed correspondence is circulated for information as 

an example of application of the referenced USCIB policy regarding 

"hazardous activities 11 • 

2. It is considered that paragraph 2 of enclosure l is worthy of 

particular note owing to broad range of situations covered and the 

fact that careful consideration of the factors involved leads to the 

conCl.usion that what appears at first glance to be a rather severe 

interpretation of Board policy is, in fact, the type of action intended 

by the reference.

Subj: Restriction of Travel of Persons having COMINT Knowledge 

Ref: (a) USCIB: 4.2/19 of 26 Apr 54 

(b) Appendix B, UKUSA 

1. In reply to reference (a), it is the feeling of this office that 

restriction or travel only in countries under Communist domination or 

control does not compJ.t with the intent of reference (b). 

2. Practice within the Navy has been to control as :far as possible 

travel in !& "trouble spot" where a possibility of capture or interrogation exists. The :following refusals concerning Class C recipients 

may serve to clarii'y Navy interpretation: 

a. The duty assignment to MAAG Indo-China. 

b. Patrol duty by an aviator in the North Atlantic where the Russian 

:fishing :fleet was active. 

c. A leave itinerary which covered a goodly part of the Far Fast. 

d. A request to travel by private automobile from Naples to 

Bremerhaven. 

e. A request to visit the American Zone of Berlin. 

3. If the above interpretation of the requirements of reference (b) is 

too severe, or not in consonance with the practices of other USCIB 

members, such information would be appreciated.

CIB # 00147 

5 May 1954 

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE: 

Subject: 

Reference: 

Restriction of Travel of Persons having CCMINT 

Knowledge. 

DNI Serial 0050-54 dated 30 April 1954. 

1. The reference serves as a full and high4r satisfactory 

response to USCIB 4.2/19 of' 26 April 1954. If you have rio objection, 

I intend to use it as an example of the manner in which the policy 

of USCIB in this instance can be administered. 

2. In rep4' to paragraph 3 of the reference, I may say that nw 

first reaction was that application of restrictions in the cases 

described in paragraphs 2c. and 2d.. may have been too strict. Upon 

reflection, however, and with the understanding that travel in both 

cases would have or might reasonably be expected to have involved 

visits in areas subject to Communist incursion or passage through 

Communist control points in 11of'f' duty11 status, it is my feeling that 

your action is in full accord with the intent of the Boa.rd in approving the ''hazardous activities 11 provision of Appendix 11B11 •
