submarine.

b.

Conclusions.

Capability (1) is considered the most likely to occur

under conditions existing voday.

Capability (2) is a possibility but

is less likely and capabilities (3), (4) and (5) most likely would be
exercised in the event of open hostilities between the United States

and the USSR,
It is believed that information as to the operations of
JTF SEVEN and the ftesults thereof would be of more practical value to

the Soviets than hindering or impeding the operation.

Security.

Security of classified information is the normal responsi-

bility of any commander but this responsibility must be reevaluated
in the Pacific Proving Grounds where these operations are dealing with
Atomic Energy, a development which played an important part in terminating World War 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.

3e

General Conception. The general conception of the measures to provide
security during the non-operational period are generally the sam as
during operational periods except where local conditions render them
inapplicable.

&

These measures are as follows:

ENIVETOK ATOLL is under the general protection of CINCPAC.

b. ENIWETOK ATOLL is closed to all vessels, aircraft and personnel
except those cleared for access in accordance with the provisions

established by CINCPAC Serial 020, dated 1 April 1952,

c.

All assigned personnel will be cleared for loyalty and security in

accordance with the varying degrees of responsibility.
