PL86-36/50 USC 3605 

"CO?ICLlJBION: EO 3.3(b)(2) 

"16.2 This studJ' must include all sources of intell.igence 

as background. Tbe susceptibilitJ' of sQCh s1stems to interception is of the greatest importance. In addition it should 

endeavor to show trends of futurtij I 

s7stems. . . 

"18.3 The aim of this studJ' sbou.ld be to provide guidance and information without which future research and.development in the fields of interception and position fixing cannot 

be effectivel7 pursued. A top prior:itJ' requirement for this 

stud7 is in the field of anti-subma~lne warfare." 

In short, if we consider BOBESIGllT.equip•nt and techniques 

to be first generation, we are looking for information which 

can be extrapolated to provide the basis of later generation research and development, which ls necessary to keep pace with 

the most probable futurej ftrend. 

2. It ls expected that the studJ will be undertaken shortlJ i 

by the naval intelligence and associated Hl&D organizations of , 

the three countries. The U.S. Director of Naval Intelligence/ bas nominated Mr. w. E. W. HOWE of ONI and recommended Mr. j M. L. SBBETS of RBL as the U.S. representatives, and recom- I 

Mnds that this "all source" studJ' be initiated as rapidlJ !

as possible. 'l'hel liias also/ezpressed the desire 

to initiate the stud1 in accordance 1L'ith the conference recommendation. The Bead, Naval SecuritJ Group is preparing 

a letter to thel lwith the object of getting the atud1 commenced as soon as practicable, proposing •odus 

operandi, etc. It is e:xpected that the study will begin on i 

a national basis with exchange and consolidation of results l 

when sufficient progress has been made to warrant such steps.~ 

3. It is apparent that the source material includes, ve17 

importantlJ, 1Dforu.t1on which _, be available only at t.he 

national CClllil'fT centers or which DJ be coming to light a.a 

a result of current effort being applied to the problem bJ 

the national centers. The final results of the study will 

of course be provided to NBA. 

4. AccorclinglJ' it is requested that RSA llake available to 

the USN representatives such illfOl"Jlation as m&J be available. 

This might be done both b)' docuaentary material and through discussions arranged with appropriate NBA personnel. It is 

suggested that CDR John f;. BD'P.AmlS (Op-922Yl) be the :NaVJF 

contact officer at Fort Jleade through which information ma1 

be furnished or •etings arranged, in keeging with the neces .... sitJ for limited distribution of the sensitive subject matter· 

concerned. It is further suggested that this stud and HSA
