NITED STATES
ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION
WASHINGTON 25. D. C.
7 August 1958
Dear Allen:
I have your letter of August 4, 1958, concerning the suggested
amendment to Section 143 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which
you sent to us early this year for our consideration as an in-
clusion in the Commission's 1958 legislative program. I regret
that our staff consideration of the proposed amendment has not
been coordinated with your agency as we indicated would be done
in our letter of February 10, 1958.
I have been informed that staff discussions relating to the
problem of access to Restricted Data by CIA employees have taken
place on several occasions prior to your referral to us of the
proposed amendment to Section 143. These discussions included rep-
resentatives from both the legal and security organizations within
our respective agencies. In view of this I have directed our Office
of General Counsel and Division of Security to discuss this matter
with your staff without further delay.

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE DIRECTOR
Our proposal of 17 January 1958 to amend
the Atomic Energy Act so that we could certify
for access to Restricted Data without having our
people reinvestigated has been acknowledged but
never acted on. Informal queries to AEC lawyers
produced no results. The new Space Agency was
given this authority in the bill that just passed.
There are some technical amendments now before
the Joint Committee and it would be a, good thing
if this could be released for consideration this
session. The attached letter to Chairman McCon
is fo;~f his pose.R~caL mend signature.
