AI-Generated Summary
This memorandum centralizes the responsibility for monitoring non-conventional air vehicles within the ASD division of the Office of Scientific Intelligence. It rescinds a previous 1954 directive and mandates that all other divisions transfer their relevant files to the ASD.
This memorandum, issued by Herbert Scoville, Jr., the Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, serves to formalize 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 primary responsibility for conducting surveillance of all available information concerning these aerial phenomena. To support this mandate, other divisions within the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) are required to provide technical consultative assistance to the ASD upon request. Furthermore, the ASD is authorized to initiate projects within the scope of the CSI Production Program when deemed appropriate. The memorandum also centralizes the record-keeping process, stipulating that the ASD will maintain the official OSI files on the subject. Consequently, all other divisions are instructed to transfer their existing files to the ASD and cease any independent filing activities related to these non-conventional air vehicles.
Henceforth, ASD will conduct all surveillance of available information on this subject.
