BUDGET DEFE"NCi OF )02* PEOPIE FOR SECURITI DIVISI<li :>-

Dur.inc the war, it was vital.q necassal"J' to ~ on CUl!llUDications 

ef strateaic and operational illrortance. :Proteotion ot the contents et 

these •ssages against loss to the ene117 was the respo:n.sibilit7 of United. 

States cewmmication security •X}Arts. This need tor securit7 in Artq 

cemm.nications is still paramount a£ter the nr. 

It is aost d.e~irable t'roa the standi:oint ot national eecurit7 that 

all possible steps be taken to :ma.int.:lin the supremaq et the United St!ttes 

Arrq in the C1")1Jtographic art. To achieve this securi t;y cryptographic 

a;ysteas &.ad deTices ha"VW beon and are being deTised and distributed ror 

the use of the Ar113. It is the function ot Securit7 Division to supervise 

and to coordinate all activities connected with eoJlllllUllication securitJ'. 

Policy, ioctrine, procedure and techinques llUBt be .formle.ted to assure 

security of comnmica.tions ap1nst all forms or analysis. Securit7 evaluations of our oun crypto•chanisma &ad a711teas 11USt constantq be underwa.7. Distribution and accounting procedure& tor close control ot the uae 

et all cryptographic documents and materiel is the responsibilit7 ot the 

DiTision ••• it 11USt see that the proper 11!'1.teria.ls get to the proper using 

teraes in the f'iel.d and in the occru.-l>tltion zones at th• proper time, se 

that secure collllUnication channels throughout the world are open tor th.ea 

and to the•, 

Securit7 Division produces through printing, lithographic and other 

p-aphic arts all ot the s)"Steas •terials that are used. bJ' the Arq. This 

actiTi'tJ' can not take place elsewhere if security is to be maintained. 

fh8 DiTision is responsible £or special in-job training for personnel 

•npged. in communication security and diri3cts th• preparation ot technical 

•terie.l and training courses. Equipm .. ,,nt must be planned caretul.17 and well. 

Pec·l.'.liar as to its application, and certa.inq rareq a consumer end-item, 

this equipment r~quires considerable time to produce, since secreCJ' and 

lack ot a large protit aotiff in its 111Bnuta.cture -.ks ciitficult the 

proble11 ot finding a commercial avelopnent l&borato17 or contractor. 

Theretere, the equipment 11USt be kept to minima types with etrecienq 

and security such that the deTices can be used over a period or 7ears. 

During the loq, extended. period deToted to the denlopm.ent ot new 

cryptoFaphic •Dd-item.s, it is essentil\.l that existing equipment be 

ca.ratall;y rehabilitated, stored and prepared tor e .. rgenc7 operation, 

were war to occ:ur. 

The division inspects and repairs all crY}>tomechaniDS prior to !&sue.nee 

to usinc units and upon return theretro11. At. the end or the war the Division 

was tlooded with returnl9d crY}Jtomachines to be repaired, rehabilitated, 

aodernimed and stored. At the present time, about 81000 cryptographic items 

are-in the backlog for rehabilitation. Based OD that pa.rt of 302 em.plo;yeea 

that can be allocated to t..1rl.s specific job, it is estimated that it will take 

upwards of 5 years to complete the rehabilitation progrllll alone, under the 

mst ta:vora.ble cirCU11Sta.nces. In the event ot impending e:mercency, it will 

be necease.ry to accelerate this prograa. 

The Division is responsible tor the initiation or requests tor the 

d.evel.opaent or crypt.om.echanisas and devices, based on its Comimnication 

Seeurit;r Plan for the J.riq and on expressed tirm Basic Military Requirements
