1. Reterence 1• made to positions authorized the Department 

ot the Arm7 by Public La'\f 'l' - 80th Congress. 

2. The aignal intelligence and commun1cat1on aecurity activities of the Army. including research and development necessary for 

suaoeaaful 1ntercept1on and or1ptanal7aia or foreign communications 

as vell aa ror the protection or our ovn conmun1cat1ona, are full7 

integrated within the A~Dlf Security Agency. The Army Security Agency's eftect1venese immediately prior to and during host111tiea 

will depend directly upon the extent to which it 1s maintained in 

peacetime. 

'· Spec1r1call7, the Army Security Agency has a research and 

development respons1b111ty in connection with the production or 

orypto-mecbaniame and in connection vtth intercept and crJ"Ptana.l7t1c 

equipment, devices and principles. Aa a result of marked improvements and advances in baaic cryptographic syatems, eepec1ally in the 

1ntroduct1on ot security cipher machine•. as well as the expansion in the use or automatic a7atems of high speed radio commun1cat1on, 

the technical problems facing the communication aecurit1 and intelligence starra have become much more complicated and thGJ will 

undoubtedly 1ncreaae in oomplexit7 at an accelerated pace. The 

production ot signal intelligence and the obsolute inauranae ot 

secure meana of oommunica.tiona v111 continue to place gre&ter and 

1ncreas1ngl7d1tt1cult demands upon the reaearoh and development personnel who are required to tind methods and equipment which v111 permit the derivation of intelligence trom all tfpea or foreign co:rrilflunicatione and, at the eame time, prevent foreign nat1o.na .from 

doing 11kew1ae to United States oommun1cat1ons. Thia function in· 

volves the application ot ao1entit1c principles, devices and 

mechaniama ot a complex and d1vera1t1ed character. The earr7ing 

out of these function• thus requires a·v1de range ot technical 

abil1t1ea ot the h1gheat order. The ett1c1ent execution ot theae 

reapona1b111t1ee requirea a logical, oonaiatent program vh1oh v111 

only be insured when, in so tar aa practicable, the beat ac1ent1t1o 

brains of the nation are emplo7ed. 

4. Tbe Arm7 Security Agency employs about 750 research and 

development personnel in grades ranging up to P-8 and was authorized &pproximatel7 $3,000_000 for research and development during Fiscal-Year 1948. The establishment ~r a position in the protee- •1onal and ac1ent1t1c eerv1ce aa author1aed br Public Lav 31' vould
