SECRET Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : en *00789R002600170004- 2 LET ES ea International 8 September 1989 Ms. Jean Smith HQ USAMRDC Ft. Detrick Frederick, MD 21701-5012 Dear Jean, Please find enclosed three copies of a request for a modification to the [Security Classification Guide. ; In retrospect, all the experimental data, results, theories and protocols collected or developed under contract DAMD 17-85-C-5130 are not inconsistent with what is generally available in the open literature. For example, as a result of the meta-analysis task for FY 1989, we found that our quantitative measures are statistically inseparable from those resulting from experiments conducted in open laboratories. Therefore, in my opinion, removing the requested paragraphs from the Classification Guide does not compromise our program, nor does it reveal a specialized capability. The requested minor (3 of 10 paragraphs) change is consistent with this observation. If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact A timely response would greatly appreciated in that it would assist us in the documentation for FY 1989. Should this request be granted, please mail a signed copy to us for our records. Thank you for your help.
