g. The Chief of Naval Operations and the Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission monitor the selection of official observers, extend invitations and issue appropriate instructions and guidance to the Department of Defense, and to those selected by the Atomic Energy Commission respectively. h, The Military Liaison Committee be designated as the intermediary to handle correspondence regarding observers between the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations and the Atomic Energy Commission, i. That the invitaticn to each individual include pertinent security instructions as to the classification of the operation, and that each individual be requested to sign a security acknowledgment statement, j. That the names, titles and official addresses of selected individuals be forwarded by the Chief of Naval Operations to Commander, Joint Task Force SEVEN not later than 15 March 1956, k, Commander, Joint Task Force SEVEN will be charged with the issuance of orders, reception, scheduling of military transportation, quartering, messing, and the issuance of necessary administrative instructions to the observers, 1, That no other official observer program be authorized, m. No representatives of the press or public information service be invited. 2, In formulating these recommendations the fact that the schedule for shots in REDWING will exceed previous ones by a factor of three was the most dynamic feature involved. This factor has necessitated the organization of a considerably larger Task Force than in the past. As a result, a most critical shortage of accommodations will exist in the Pacific Proving Ground, The maximum number of official observers that can be accommodated at any one time is twenty (20), I believe that other interested agencies can obtain desired information through post-operation viewing of documentary films and reference to the history of REDWING which will be prepared. In the past a separate group of individuals loosely described as "project participants", was recognized in the tests. I realize that agencies such as Division of Military Application, Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, and the Armed Services have a real need to incorporate certain persons into the program, But in view of the foregoing urgently recommend that no such ancillary category of unorganized personnel be recognized. If it is deemed absolutely necessary that such personnel take part in all or part of the tests the parent organization should work these individuals directly into the Task Groups concerned ~ within these group's ceilings, and under the group's direct control, in coordination with this headquarters.
