Subject: 

Additional Item (Item 4) of the Agenda for the 105th 

Meeting of USCIB, held on 13 August 1954. 

Clearance for Category III COM.INT (WALTERS - USCIB 13.2/25 of 12 August 1954). 

The ACTING CHAIRMAN introduced this item, adding that clearance had 

been requested by NSC and asked for comment. 

GENERAL CANINE asked what the mission of the Net Evaluation SubCommit tee is. 

The ACTING CHAIRMAN explained that it is to make an assessment of the 

net capabilities of our enemies to do us serious injury. 

MR. SHELDON added that by this action we wi..iuid obviate the need for 

clearance of some 25 other people comprising the Committee. 

GENERAL CANINE moved that the Board agree that Mr. Walters has a 

"need to know11 for Category III CCJ"1.INT. 

MR. GODEL stated that Mr. Walters has had a full field inve~tigation 

and has both TOP SECRET and 11Q11 clearance now. 

The motion was carried unanimously. 

DECISION: (13 August 1954) USCIB agreed that Mr. Ralph T. Walters of the 

NSC staff has a need to know Category III COl>UNT for the purpose of 

enabling him to perform his duties as Executive Secretary of the Net 

Capabilities Evaluation Sub-Committee of the National Security Council and 

that the CIA member should undertake appropriate administrative action. 

The meeting adjourned at 1626 and went into Executive Session.
