PURPOSE
The purpose of these arrangements is to detail the administrative
procedures to be followed by the United States and the Government of
Italy in the implementation of the Agreement_,Between the Government of
the United States of America and the Government of Italy for Cooperation
on the Uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense Purposes (hereinafter
called the Agreement).
A. The Joint Atomic Information Exchange Group (JAIEG) acting for
the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC),
and the Sezione Coordinamento Atomico (Se.C.A.) or its: representative in the
United States located in Washington, acting for the Defense General
Staff (DGS) will be the principal agencies for carrying out the administra-
tive provisions of the Agreement. It should be noted that civil uses

the Government of Italy with a request for classification determination.
Such requests may contain the recommendations of the requesting government.
In the case of the classification of documents containing both Italian
and United States atomic information the highest classification level as
required by either of the two governments involved will apply to the
documents.
REPORTS
