Release to Canada of NSASAB Report Entitled 11The Potentialities of COMINT for Strategic Warning". At the 15th · meeting of USCIBEC, 28 May 1954, the Director, NSA, 

requested approval of release of a "sanitized" version of 

the so-called "Robertson Report" to Canada. USCIBEC 

approved release of the report, subject to certain additional deletions, which were to be forwarded to the 

Director, NSA, via the Executive Secretary. All members 

were advised of these "additional deletions" by USCIB 3.5/7. 

On 21 July 1954 (USCIB 3.5/8) the Director, NSA, 

informed the members that, since the recommended deletions 

were so extensive as to vitiate the purpose of the Report 

and did not bear upon CCJllINT, thereby indicating no 

objection to release for COMINT reasons, he proposed to 

release the report as originally submitted to USCIBEC. He 

added that, in the event of vote sheet objection to this 

action, he would ask further consideration at.the 105th 

meeting of USCIB. As a result of objection by members 

representing the Military Services, the matter has been 

scheduled for further USCIB consideration at this meeting. 

USCIB 3.5/9 contains a tabulation of recommended "additional 

deletions", and comments bi the Executive Secretary.
