WILLIAM F. FRIEDMAN 

310 SEOOND ST., SE WASHINGTON 3, D. C. 

14 January 1958 

Mr. Shel.by L. Patterson 

Director of Training Services 

National Security Agency 

Fort George G. Meade, Maryland 

Dear Mr. Patterson: 

Accompanying this letter is a dra.f't outline (in duplicate) of a. 

proposed contract for the production of certain training materia.:!.. i'or 

the tecll!l..ical orientation of nei;v NSA em:playees along the lines of our 

brief discussion recently. This dra.i't follows quite accurately the 

nording o£ my previous contract w1 th NSA, a copy of which is attached. 

I have left blank the amount of money involved, since I tli..iDk this 

shouJ.d be discussed after it has been decided by NSA whether it wishes 

to enter into such a. contractual. arrangement with me. 

This contract wouJ.d be the first of' two or more contracts i'or the 

production of cl.assified a.nd more advanced material for cleared employees who have been newly assigned to their jobs, and for employees 

who have been in NSA for severaJ. yes.rs but wish to broaden their technical education. 

The first contract envisages the production of r.iaterial for a 

series of six periods of instruction an.d./or six lecture periods using 

voice-recorded texts prepared and spoken by me and ilJ.ustra.ted with 

lantern slides based upon material preps.red or colJ.ected. by me or 

already on hand in my private collection or unclassified ma.teriaJ.. 

At this writing the six lessons and lectures wouJ.d embrace drama.-

tic or instructionaJ. episodes which occurred in the following periods 

in cryptologic history: 

(1) Ba.sic texmino1ogy and an account of cr,yptology f'ram 

the earliest dz:ws o:f' the invention and development 

of' secret writings, and devices or mea.n.:ii for secret 

communication, and of means and methods of' soJ.Ving 

such uritings, devlces, and means for secret communications. 

(2) Cryptology in the 15th and 16th Centuries. 

( 3) Cryptology (American and British) during the period 

of' the American Revolution and the period therea.fter 

up to the time of the U .s. War Between the States 

(Civil. War). 
REF ID: A6385. 

/ 

( 4) Cryptology (Federal and Confederate) during the Ci vi.l 

War. 

(5) Cryptology in the period f'ran. the end of the Civi1 

War to the end of Wor1d War I. 

(6) Cryptology in the period from the end of Uorld War 

I to the end of' World War II (Unclassified. materie.l 

on:i:y). 

It is possible and probable that in ea.ch lecture there wou1d be 

something oi' interest said about certain of the highlights and sidelights 

of cryptologic science--how battles were won or lost by good and bad 

cryptology. 

It is my thought that the initial contract, if' it eventuates in o. 

manner satisfactory to NSA and to me 1 wou1d be iolloued by the type of 

contract described in very general terms in paragraph 2 above. Some 

oi' the material. therefor woul.d. come from my pri va.te collection of unclassified books and papers; but more would come from NSA fiJ.es and I would 

probably have to spend a. good deal of time a.t NSA. 

With regard to the material referred to in the preceding paragraph, 

I assume that NSA can provide facilities for processing film or other 

recording media under conditions required by regulations governing the 

production and handling of classified material. However, the material 

contemplated in the first contract would, as stated above, not be classified., or wouJ.d, at most, be handled as ''For Official Use Only". 

In closure

Very truly,
