Technical Report Photography Requirements a. Sufficient motion picture and still coverage of events will be accomplished to produce the following: (1) The CUTF SEVEN visual report to the AEC and the JCS. This film, approximately forty-five (45) minutes in duration, will con- tain only a limited amount of technical details and will be classified not higher than SECRET. The extent of technical coverage will be governed by the classification conditions at the time the film is produced. It will be tailored for wide distribution to persons con- cerned with supporting the AEC but who do not require extensive ooh information (Congressmen, Bureau of the Budget officials, etc.}. (2) A short film produced after each shot to provide quick vis- ual information to Commissioners and other AEC personnel. These will be tailored to provide more detailed information than the customary post-shot statement of yield and degree of success normally provides. Speed of production will be the keynote. No classification limitation will be placed on these films. (3) Additional footage required in the later production by AEC of a film depicting the entire history of weapons development. No classification limitation will be placed on this footage, T-1
