information concerning the site or Its occupants. On the oontrary, the report did oontain tho basio elements of the oovsr story. Therefore, the planning and maximum precautions taken in the use of this safe site wore Dore than Justified, assite had served aa the waak-long meeting plane for CALLIGERIS anr*F ellonferenceill red by project personnel during thefr meetings with these two principals. Tho site alsoighly sensitive teohnioal installations,evelation of wbioh would have seriously embarrassed the project.
Nevertheless, the report from the FBI, who had previously been ad vised aa to the general use of this siterecautionary measure, servedarning or danger signal that could not go unheeded. Taking into consideration all of the security, technical, and operationalof thoites originally obtained for this projeot, lt was decided that immediate steps would be taken to aoquire newhich would better serve our needs and at tha sane time afford better security and operational faoillties. With the approaching end of the "winteroro suitable sites are available anduoh more eobnoaloal rate.
