capabilities comparable to the Type 31. It is entirely possible that
the Soviets might equip such an aircraft for photo and radiological
recomiaissance if a sufficiently high priority exists for this require-

ment,

d. Conclusions. Espionage, sabotage, observation and unauthorized
instrumentation are considered most likely to occur under conditions
existing today. The declaration of war, overt action by vessel or
aircraft and raids are less likely possibilities which could take

place in the event of open hostilities between the U.S. and the USSR.
Security.

Security of classified information is the normal responsi-

bility of any commander but this responsibility must be reevaluated
in Operation CASTLE where the operation is dealing with atomic energy,
a development which played an important part in terminating WW II and
which constitutes such importance that it has been regulated, controlled and protected by Federal Law. The responsibility of each individual in properly safeguarding classified information concerning
atomic energy and in preventing its compromise by careless talk or
correspondence must be understood by all military ranks and civilians.

General Conception.

The general conception of the measures to provide

security is as follows:

a. The ENIWETOK-BIKINI area of operations will be closed to all
vessels, aircraft and personnel except those participating. Access

to this area will be in accordance with regulations established by
CINCPAC Serial 020. All areas within the ENIWETOK-BIKINI operational

area will be designated in accordance with the degree of security
required.

b. Personnel participating in the operation will be cleared for loyalty and security in accordance with the varying degrees of responsibility.

ce. The ENIWETOK-BIKINI area of operations is under the general protection of CINCPAC.
d. Regulations governing security published by the DOD and AEC continue to apply to members of the joint task force.-
