WASHINGTON 25, D. C. 

WDGSS-14 

SUBJECT: Proposal for More Complete Liaison between Army, 

Navy, and State Department 

TO: Director of Communications Research 

1. There are facilities now available which, with 

proper modifications and extensions, can be used to increase 

the efficiency of liaison between the Army, Navy, and the 

State Department which will result in the mutual benefit 

of all concerned. 

2. The ASA has an interest in the security of State 

Department communications through its membership in the 

Cryptographic Security Board, consisting of members from 

the State Department, the Army, and the Navy. This board 

was appoint~d by the President as a result of recommendations 

made by a joint Army-Navy ad hoc Committee. As a result 

also of this joint survey, the State Department asked for 

and obtained the assistance of Army and Mavy personnel to 

head up and operate its cryptographic section. 

3. The ASA has an interest in State Department communications as a highly important source of collateral information, 

i.e. in the way of cribs. MIS has furnished some of this 

information in the past. 

4. So far both of the ASA interests as outlined in 

paragraphs 2 and 3 have been confined to the location of 

Washington alone. It is now proposed that these interests 

be extended to include u.s. embassies and ministries in the 

various foreign capitals by making use of the Military and 

Na.val Attaches stationed thereat. These attaches would b_e 

assigned the additional function of Embassy Cryptographic 

Security Officer in the same manner as the present Army-Navy 

contingent now in the State Department. They would also be

on the watch for likely cribs, a function which is not however 

handled by the above-mentioned contingent in Weshington, but 

which might well be added, '.:..""" ,_'J"" !> _, 

5. To set such a plan into operation, provided the ,~~ ~- State Department approves, it would be necessary to prov.ide_~- ~~

S!Clmff 

a course of inst1•uction of perhaps a monthls duration at ASA 

and/or at NOA for new military and naval attaches ~efore 

reporting for duty at the various foreign capitals. Not only 

could they be taught the general principles of cryptogz•aphic, physical, and transmission security, and crib intelligence, but also what to look for in other fields of collateral 

information such as books and pamphlets. In addition, they would be "cleared" so that special requests f'or cribs and 

publications could be intelligently handled in the various 

foreign capitals. 

6. This whole program could well be set up and coordi.na.ted 

by STANCIB and STANCCIC, particularly so now that the Sta te 

Department is represented on these committees. Representation is thus present for all phases of coordination, i.e. State 

Department, G-2, ONI, ASA, and Op-20-G. The State Department will benefit from additional communicationE security throughout the world and fi•om the additional intelligence which 1 t 

will receive via military and naval cryptanalytic and intelligence facilities. The Army and Navy intelligence centers 

will get more intelligence to integrate into the whole intelligence picture, and the cryptanalytic agencies of both services 

will be furnished highly valuable collateral inforl'.!10.tion which 

will enable much quicker entry into foreign cryptographic 

systems.
