AI-Generated Summary
This memorandum reassigns the responsibility for the surveillance and documentation of non-conventional air vehicles to the ASD. It centralizes file management and mandates inter-divisional technical support for the ASD's efforts.
This memorandum, authored by Herbert Scoville, Jr., Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, serves to formalize the internal administrative responsibilities regarding the study of non-conventional types of air vehicles. The document explicitly rescinds a prior memorandum dated 14 June 1954. Under the new directive, the ASD is assigned the responsibility for conducting all surveillance of available information concerning these phenomena. To support this mandate, all other OSI divisions are required to provide technical consultative assistance to the ASD whenever necessary. Furthermore, the ASD is authorized to request projects of appropriate scope for inclusion in the CSI Production Program. The memorandum also centralizes the record-keeping process, stipulating that the ASD will maintain the official files on this subject. Consequently, all other divisions are instructed to transfer their existing files to the ASD and cease any further filing activities related to this topic. The document concludes with a distribution list indicating that copies were provided to various internal offices, including AD/SI, Eloc/SI, FSA/SI, DAD/P/SI, CS/SI, C/SI, and the ASD Chrono file.
Henceforth, ASD will conduct all surveillance of available information on this subject.
