Str.BJEOT: Security Clearances 

3. It is interesting to note that Dr. Ulam bas 11 Q," clearance. 

4. On 23 July .LCDR R. E. Greenwood, then Acting Chief of AFSA.-341 submitted 

to 03 a memo which stated in partz 

"Shortly after the first of June, AFSA-16 advised us that there was no record 

of ~ sort of clearance for Dr. E~ene H. Ranson and Dr. 9ha.rles Wexler. Dr. Hanson 

was well known to the Navy element in AFSA., and Dr. Wexler was well lmown to tbe 

Army- element •. I personally visited 161 and as a result o·f my visit Captain Young 

of 16 made a further search and found in some Navy- files (presumably OP202) a rather 

complete investigation of Dr. Hanson on the basis of which it was possible to issue 

a SE6.BET clearance."
