issuing all Ivy identification badges and related forms.
All special
padge office equipment was shipped on 10 Jume 1952. On or about 1
September the Assistant Chief of Staff, Je2 will establish his office
on Parry Island adjoining the badge office.
Pre-shot activities will consist in maintaining required
security clearance status for all Forward Area Ivy personnel, fur- ©
nishing identification badges, and monitoring accomplishment of
current security directives.
Post-shot activities will include prow
visions for safe return of samples, duties relative to roll-up operations such as termination of clearances, termination statements where
appropriate, and return of badges.
Qne security representative will be stationed on the USS
Curtiss throughout the operation.
In addition, it is planned to
station two men on the USS Estes, one on the USS Rendova, and three
on the transport during evacuation.
As of the end of June there were approximately 1750 "Q"~=
clearances in effect for 1G 132.1 and approximately 300 in process.
The arrival of uncleared military personnel for duty at Los Alamos
has been a serious handicap to this task group and presents a morale
problem for the men concerned while awaiting clearance.
They cannot
de admitted to the Tech Area at Los Alamos and hence their services
are limited.
Training for their prospective duties is difficult.
effort is being made by the Joint Task Force to cut clearance time
down to a minimum and each case is followed up to assure that there
will be no undue delays.
It is planned that after 1 August 1952 no
new "Q"-clearances will be requested.
