necoomienc1ation 20 - *intain a firm and consistent P()licf to control 

o.nd regulate the transfer of' personnel fa.mi.liar with the_ I 

I I problems to other activities with a view to mo.inta1¢ng 

the highest possibl.e degree of continuity of' the ·several efforts 

involved •. Due regard should be given to the psychological and career 

development .factors L""J.Volved. 

Recommendation 21 - Augment the existing sta.fi' of these high-level 

problems by several additiona.l top-flight o.nalysts, utilizing 

psych<m.etric methods .of' proficiency evaluation end selection. 

In line with the committee's recommendations, PROD has, during the 

... month of Se tember. conducte.d a. -r.i -level review of t c 

-._...,~-r---'-'pr.__o_ib_l....,em. As a consequence of this renew, the staff working 

on problem is beina augmented w:ith the addition of about 

eight eX.per ence and competent c:r:ypto.na.lysts. This ha.a been accomplished 

w:ith due reaard to the career development factors involved 1n the rotation of personnel both 1n a.nd out of tlie problem. ·It is anticipated 

th.at the tratt1c o.na.1ysis etfort on the r / wi11 be 

transferred :rrom the Of'Zice of Exploittdlion to the Ctt:tice of Analysis. 

Recolilillendation 22 - Increase the speed of conveying information to

a.. Contimie detailed time atudies of traff':lc delays wi tb 

a view to: 

(l) Reduction of' procesoing times 1n messaae centers 

at all echelons .. 

{2) Routing overseas tro.f:f'ic throuch the best possible routes. 

b·. Reduce transit tilne of high j_lrecedence and other traffic by 

studyi."18 and adopting some of the pr1nci11les nmr o.w.ila.bl.e {including 

those reported by the Progro.ms Research Unit of the JoJ:m Hopkins University). 

No comments at this time. 

Recommendation 28 - Study carefully the entire concep'ti of m111to.ry1

a.. Reveal. those aspects of the communications networks Which 

are most susceptible to cOlDlllWlications intelligence a.ctivit.ies. 

b. Relate the value of the intelligence gllined through

Recommendation 35 - Provide direct commw.1ica.tions between field ELil'iT 

units o.nd the nearest field CQl.ffilT unit. 

In the case of Navy s.nd Air Force field units, ELI'l~T s.nc1 CQI.IIUT 

operations a.re generally coJ.locnted, and few ·problems of 1lrovidin5 for 

direct communications bnvc :irisen. Arnry units o.re net ~01.loca.ted, but 

in view of the possibility that the Arm:y may provide a colllI!lOn ordanizational subordination for CCMDl"'i' and ELDlT operations, it is felt fui.•ther 

action on this problem should be deferred until a.ftc:c this pol:i.cy 

determination. 

Recorimiend.ation 36 - Provide adequate coordination and cooperation 

between EI.INT and C<liIDiT 1.lll.its o.t all echelons. 

The Al"SS plan for close support of COHAD calls for the tlcploymcnt 

of ca.~:mT/ELIIIT units, colJ.oco.ted with ADC control centers, thus providing for the coordino.tion and cooperation desired on this pho.se of the 

Early Wa.rnine; Problem. Fu:i:-ther, it h.a.s been possible in nony instances 

to arrange for pre-f'lif;ht alertinB of' COMIHT resources when SESP and 

other sensitive flights are schedulcil. This h.a.g enabled o.ll authorities 

concerned to obtain maximum coveroge of the rei"lcction of such i'light 

activities. 

Recommendation 37 - Include dn.ta derived from i~LIHT in all pertinent 

camrr processes, studies, a.nd developments. 

In general, the i'ina.l product derived. from ;::1n-TT a.ctivities is 

m.de a.vailo.ble to the C a.IDJT authorities, primarily f'or inclusion in' 

CQv!JllT end-product reports. However, there is a rcquiremi~nt for 

operational use of ELilI"f cJnta in conductinc current CCl·IIHT opera.tions 

and perf'orm.:l.ng detailed studies. Hco.ns of oo.tisfyinG this requirement 

more fully than a.t present will be investigated. However, under the 

present division of COl·IDlT o.nd EJ,INT reoponsibilitics, it is doubtful 

·~r.~ther such Cct.m·lT requirements ca.n be achieved fully because of 

the laborious coordination necessary, the involved commo.nd channels, 

and the varying policies encountered.
