AI-Generated Summary
This memorandum centralizes the responsibility for monitoring non-conventional air vehicles within the ASD. It mandates that all other OSI divisions transfer their relevant files to the ASD and cease independent filing activities.
This Memorandum for the Record, issued by Herbert Scoville, Jr., Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, serves to formalize the administrative handling of information regarding non-conventional types of air vehicles. The document explicitly rescinds a prior memorandum dated 14 June 1954. Under the new directive, the ASD is designated as the primary body responsible for the surveillance of all available information on this subject. To support this centralization, all other OSI divisions are mandated to provide technical consultative assistance to the ASD upon request. Furthermore, these divisions are required to transfer their existing files concerning non-conventional air vehicles to the ASD, effectively ending their independent filing activities on the matter. The ASD is also tasked with requesting projects of the requisite scope for inclusion in the CSI Production Program when deemed appropriate.
Henceforth, ASD will conduct all surveillance of available information on this subject.
