MORANDUM FOR: Communications Officer, Project CHALICE
SUBJECT : Use oM
Centers
by Project CHALICE Signal
1. Because there have been some apparent misunderstandings
in the past about the proper us* a I think It would be useful
if I set down my thoughts on the subject, with the hope that by our mutual
agreement we may diminish the likelihood of such misunderstandings.
The following seems to me to be a reasonable set of ground rules:
a. Th hannel will be used for selection, installa-
tion and use of communications facilities, cryptographic procedures, cir-
cuit citations, training and other similar purely technical communications
matters. which have no implications in the command structure.
b. Tb channel will not be used for subject matter
that falls within the prerogatives of established command. In particular
it will not be used for administrative and personnel matters.
25X1A c. Th channel will not be used to give advance
communications guidance an pending operations until the responsible
commander has bean notified through command channels, utilizing 25X1A
channels of minimum distribution
necessary.
Z. I believe these rules will allow you the desirable flexibility
in management of communications and yet not have us run the risk of
appearing to operate two separate sets of communications.
