M/R: The Navy requested the release of one-time tapes and pads to various 

South American Countries to secure CNO to CNO communications. The .DIR/CSEC 

after consultation with P~OD in accordance with NSA Reg 90-8 and in spite of 

the fact that PROD reserve_d its position pending further study of the ·· ... 

implications of the propos~d action, recommended that the material be re•. 

leased. This recommendation is consistent with the USCSB policy towards · 

South American nations and

base disapproval, reaffirmed to OPS and the D/DIR the original CSEC position 

that the material should be released to meet a justified operational 

requirement. The matter was subsequently referred to the COMINT Committee

requests, the Executive Secretary of the USCSB is being furnished a copy 

of this correspondence. Coordinated with Lt Col Burn., OPS. 

Mr. G. H. Fralley/CSEC-04/2129/22 Nov 6o/df 

Added M/R: CSEC doesn •.t concur on the grounds that insufficient data is,\ 

available to the DIR/NSA to form an opinion at this time; ±urtner, it 

appears to CSEC that the stimulation estimate of the SIGINT Community is 

at least tenuous if not exaggerated. NSA will probably have difficulty 

in supporting this decision if the Navy appeals the reJection. ~
