3. Although final epproval for the creation of a new Task Group (7.5)
was not given until March 1953°), the new organization of TG 7.1 was based on
the assumption that there would be a fifth Task Group.
Accordingly, the AEC

Task Unit (TU-11 of TG 132.1) and the J-2 staff section were eliminated.

was planned that all aspects of physical security at PPG, such as badges,
access lists, fencing, guarding, couriering, etc., would be the responsibility
of the new task group(©) e
A new staff position, Security Liaison Officer,
was created to handle general security matters which were formerly the responsibility of geo’),
