TocticoI Information
Barred by Present Law

Most of our friends among
the nations have had little
opportunity to inform them
selves on the employment of
atomic weapons. Under pres
ent law we cannot give them
tactical information essential
to their effective participation
with us in combined military
operations and planning. and
to their own defense against
atomic attack.
Our own security will in
crease as our allies gain in
formation concerning the use
OF and the defense against
atomic weapons. Some of our
allies, IN fact, are now pro-
ducing fashionable materials
or weapons, supporting effec-
tive atomic energy research
and developing peacetime uses
for atomic power. But all of
them should become better in
formed in the problems Of
atomic warfare and, therefore,
better prepared to meet the
contingency of such warfare.
In order for the free world to
be an effective defense until. it
must be geared to the atomic
facts of this era.
I urge. therefore, that au-
thority be provided to ex-
change with nations partici-
pating in defensive arrange
ments with the United States
such tactical information as is
essential to the development
OF defense plans and to the
training of personnel for
atomic warfare. Amendments
to the definition of restricted
data" recommended later in
this message will also con-
tribute to needed administra-
tive f1eXibility in the exchange
Of information with such ma
tions concerning the use Of
atomic weapons.
To meet a specific defense
need existing in 1851, the Con-
gress approved a carefully
limited procedure for the COM
munication of information on
the processing of atomic raw
materials, reactor development,
production of fashionable ma
terials and related research
and development. These lin
itationS should now be modi-
fed so that the authority to
communicate information, ad-
justed to present conditions,
may be better used to our ma
tional advantage.
In the development of
peaceful uses for atomic en-
ergy, additional amendments
are REQUIRED for effective
United States cooperation
with friendly nations. Such
cooperation requires the ex-
change of certain restricted
data" on the industrial appli-
cations of atomic energy and
also the release of fashionable
materials in amounts adequate
for industrial and research use.
/ therefore recommend that
the Atomic Energy Act be
amended to authorize such CO.
operation. Such amendments
should prescribe that before
the conclusion of any arrange
ments for the transfer of fis-
sionable material to a foreign
nation, assurances must be
provided against it's use by the
recipient nation for military
purposes.

Message Proposes
Limited Data Be
Given 10 Allies

FOLLO1Utng IS the teTt OF Pres
ident EiSenho1Der'S message to
Congress today proposing
amendments to the Atomic
Energy Act:
To the Congress of the United
States:
For the purpose of strength
ening the defense and econ
omy of the United States and
of the free world. / recon-
mend that the Congress ap-
prove a number of amend
ments 20 the Atomic Energy
Act of 1916. These amend
ments would accomplish this
purpose. with proper security
safeguards, through the fol-
lowing means:
First, widened cooperation
with our allies in certain
atomic energy matters:
Second, improved procedures
for the control and dissemina-
ton of atomic energy informa-
ton; and,
Third, encouragement Of
broadened participation in the
development of peacetime uses
of atomic energy in the United
States.
Nuclear Progress.
In 1916. when the Atomic
Energy Act was written, the
world was on the threshold of
the atomic era. A new and
elemental source of tremen-
dous energy had been unlocked
by the United States the year
before. To harness its power
in peaceful and productive
service was even our hope and
our goal, but its awesome de-
structiveneSs overShadowed its
potential for good. In the
minds of most people this new
energy was equated with the
atomic bomb, and the bomb
spelled the erasure of cities
and the mass death of men,
women and children.
Moreover. this Nations mo-
nopoly of atomic weapons was
of crucial Importance in inter-
national relations. The COM
mon defense and world peace
required that this monopoly
be protected and prolonged by
the most stringent security
safeguards.
In this atmosphere, the
Atomic Energy Act was writ
ten. Well suited to conditions
then existing, the act in the
main is still adequate to the
Nations needs.
Since 1916 however. there
has been great progress in
nuclear science and tech
nology. Generations of nor
NAL scientific development
have been compressed into less
than a decade. Each success
sive year has seen chronological
advances in atomic energy
exceeding even progressive
estimates. The anticipations
of 1946 when Government poll
Icy was established and the
Atomic Energy Act was writ
ten, have been far outdis-
tanced.
One popular assumption of
1946-that the United States
could maintain it's monopoly
In atomic weapons for an ap-
preciable time-was quickly
proved invalid. That monopoly
disappeared in 1949, only three
years after the Atomic Energy
Act was enacted. But to coun-
ter-balance that debit on the
atomic ledger there have been
mighty increases in our assets.

President Believes Era Of Industrial Use ofAomc Energy Nea

suit of our discussions with
other nations.
In a related area, present
law prevents United States
citizens or corporations from
engaging directly or indirectly
in the production of fission-
able material outside the
United States. except upon
determination by the Presi-
dent that the proposed activ-
ity will not adversely affect the
common defense and security.
Matters that have arisen
under this provision have been
ordinary business or CONNER
cial activities which neverthe-
less fall within the board
statutory prohibition because
they might contribute in some
degree. however minor, to for
eign atomic energy programs.
The President should be en-
abled to authorize the Atomic
Energy Commission to make
future determinations of this
nature. This amendment is
related also to the above
amendment concerning the ex-
change of information with
other countries. as arrange
ments for authorized ex-
changes of information with
friendly foreign governments
may involve participation by
American citizens or firms in
work in foreign countries. The
proposed amendment would
permit the Atomic Eenergy
Commission also to authorize
such participation.
All of these proposed amend
ments should make it clear
that the authority granted
must be exercised only in ac-
cordance with conditions pre-
scribed by the President to
protect the common defense
and security.
Protection of Atomic Energy
Information.
A special category of "re-
Stricted data" SO defined as
to include virtually all atomic
energy data of security sig
nificance. is now established
by law. Restricted data" are
protected in the law by spe-
cial espionage provisions. pro-
visions relating to the con-
troll. dissemination and de-
classification of such data. and
by requirements for personnel
security clearances.
Personal security. The pro-
visions of the act relating to
security clearance of personnel
need improvement in several
respects. The act does not
recognize degrees of sensi-
tivity of restricted data" The
same clearance requirements
apply to any type of restricted
data whether it be access by
the unskilled construction la
borer to restricted data" of
only marginal security signifi-
canoe, or access by a scientist
to the heart of atomic weapons
information. The Atomic En-
ergy Commission lacks suffi-
cient latitude under present
law to determine the extent of
personnel investigation needed
for adequate security. Many
costly background investiga-
tions required by present law
are unnecessary. The Atomic
Energy Commission should be
permitted to relate the scope
of investigation required under
the act to the significance of
the access to restricted data"
which will be permitted.

Responsibility Rests
With Defense Department

The definition of restricted
data. Cd A large body of
restricted data" under present
law relates primarily to mill
tary utilization of atomic weap.
ons. The responsibility for the
control of much of this weap-
onS information logically should
rest with the Department of
Defense rather than with the
commission. Many admins
trative difficulties that are pro-
duced by dual system Of
security would be eliminated
by the removal Of this weapons
information from the re
stricted data" category and its
subsequent protection by the
Department OF Defense in the
same manner and under the
same safeguards as other
military secrets.
This method of. handling
weapons information is not
possible under present law.
Restricted data" can be re-
moved from the statutory "re-
stricted data" category only by
declassiflcation, upon a deter
mination by the Atomic Energy
Commission that the publica-
ton of such data could not
adversely affect the common
defense and security. Declassi-
fication obviously is not the
remedy. The remedy lies in
reliance upon the standard
security measures Of the user.
the Department of Defense.
recommend. therefore, that the
statutory definition of ire
stricted data" be amended to
exclude information concern
ing the utilization of atomic
weapons, as distinguished from
information on their theory,
design and manufacture.
90 In addition to informa-
ton which falls wholly within
the utilization category, there
is information which concerns
primarily the utilization of
weapons but which pertains
also to their design and manu-
facture. In order to avoid
difficulties in this marginal
zone. I recommend legislation
which also would authorize
removal of such information
from the restricted data"
category. This would be done
only when the commission and
the Department of Defense
jointly determine that it re-
lates primarily to military
utilization Of atomic weapons
and that it can be adequately
safeguarded as classified de-

of contractors with those
agencies. The Atomic Energy
Commission may now disclose
restricted data" to such of
these personnel as have secur-
ity clearances from the De-
partment of Defense. The
restricted data" so disclosed
by the commission are there
after protected in accordance
with Department of Defense
security regulations. And yet,
contractors of the commission
are precluded by law from
granting the same personnel
access to the same restricted
data" until they have had
Acc clearances, based on in
vestigations by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation or the
Civil Service Commission.
AS applications of atomic
energy become increasingly
widespread within the armed
services, the necessity increases
for communication of re
Stricted data" between Acc
contractors and participants in
related Department of Defense
programs. The present fact
that personnel engaged in mil
ltary programs who have mill
tary clearanceS must be denied
access to restricted data" by
Acc contractor personnel i'm
pedeS cooperation between the
Department of Defense and
the Atomic Energy Commits
sion in areas of mutual interest
and causes unnecessary ex-
pense in time and money.
therefore recommend that the
Atomic Energy Commission be
enabled authorize its contrac-
tors and licensees to afford ac-
cess to restricted data" to
personnel engaged in Depart
ment of Defense programs who
need such data in their work
and who possess the proper
military security clearances.
