Is connection with the problem of Argue cleesification, I
attaching a minute af the President's Science Advisory (
ee
on March 16, 1953, which reflects the Committee attitade
eontinued security classification.
.
Although the basic decision on Argus classification has
been made, thers are still some questions that will need
reecived, i.e. the question of release of yield, precise
y
be
and iccctions. His hoped that we can now move forward t
resolve these questions well in advance of the meeting of
Natlensl Academy of fctences on April 27-29. Iam wri
to
Mir. Hugh Cdishaw of the IGY Committees to suggest that ef.
be made insofar as possible to accelerate the preparation
acientific papers for review and te develop the acientific
-
ments for relaxation of classification where necessary for the
understaading of the scientific data
Yam sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Cdishaw and
General Starbird.
Cordially,
