On the recommendation of the TEAPC? Planning Group in Headquarters,
AYER?, a eeparate TEAPOT Siling cysten was established withia the
Directerate te facilitate the ineorporation of the Group's files
with Ghose of the Directerate's at « later date. In coordination
with the Directorate of Weapons Effects Tests (DNR) Security
Offi{ear, a systen ef quarterly inventaries of Secret documents was
eetabiiched within the Directorate which aecamplished two main objoetives; namely, the status cf accountability of doouxents within
the Dirgctorate and a eiseble decrease of classifies uaterial in
eenvenience and working files. As of 50 dune 1854, the status of
aii Seeret material has been determined sexoept for that material
whigh is charged to the Seelmical Division. Since it was neceszary
fer TUe1$ to take a substantial percentage of material from the
Zechnical Division files overseas and, since material was reovived
from vericus sources by the Task Unit while orerseas during Operation
CASTLE, it was neovesary te process all vaterial through the Dn?

expeditiously as possible so that inno way would 4+ delay the pre-
paration of the preliminary reports of Operation CASTILE. The Yech=

Directorate ts somewhat unique in that tho whole Directarate or a

periods, ware stringertt control of classified material must be enforeed Chan would normally be expected. The above actions, where
