DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
Washington, October 30, 1958.

The Honorable the COMPTROLLER GENERAL.

DEAR MR. COMPTROLLER GENERAL: Reference is made to your letter of September 10, 1958 (file B-107366, B-134192), by which you forwarded a copy of a letter you had sent to the chairman, Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives, concerning your earlier request for a copy of a report prepared by the inspector general of the Air Force titled "Survey of Management of the Ballistic Missiles Program," and my reply thereto.

In my letter to you of July 30, 1958, I set forth the considerations which compelled me to conclude that the public interest would best be served by not releasing the report which you have requested. I nevertheless stated that I would furnish a summary of the findings of fact contained in the inspector general's report. In my letter to you of August 13, 1958, I forwarded a summary of the essential findings of the report.

However, in your letter to the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives, you stated in part:

"The summary report consists of a list of general conclusions in various areas of management and organization, budgeting and funding, procurement and contractual relationships. The summary does not include specific data on the operating conditions and management controls or a summary of the factual information on which the conclusions are based."

It is my desire to cooperate as fully as possible with you in connection with the carrying out of your responsibilities. I believe the Air Force record in this regard over the past years amply demonstrates the high degree of cooperation achieved. Accordingly, while I am unable to comply with your request for the inspector general report itself, I am forwarding for your information a statement of the facts contained in the report. Opinions, conclusions, recommendations and other advisory matter contained in the report have been omitted for the same reasons which underlay the decision, reflected in my letter to you of July 30, 1958, against furnishing the inspector general report itself.

The overall security classification of the inspector general report is secret. In preparing a statement for your use we have been able to declassify most of the material and the statement enclosed consists of 35 single-spaced typewritten pages of unclassified matter. Such material as we have been unable to declassify has been summarized and is being transmitted under separate cover. By reason of our declassification action, this classified material has been reduced to only two single-spaced typewritten pages. I believe this separation of classified and unclassified matter will prove to be convenient for all concerned since it avoids marking the entire statement secret.

I trust that the material which you receive will serve your purposes.
Sincerely yours,

JAMES H. DOUGLAS.

COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES,
Washington, November 7, 1958.

The Honorable the SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE.

DEAR MR. SECRETARY: Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of October 30, 1958, in further response to our request for a copy of a report prepared by the inspector general of the Air Force titled "Survey of Management of the Ballistic Missiles Program." Your letter transmitted a statement of the facts contained in the report, but specifically omitted "opinions, conclusions, recommendations and other advisory matter contained in the report.”

We appreciate the spirit of cooperation which prompted the transmittal of this additional information. However, it seems quite evident that some misunderstanding exists as to our need for access to complete reports of the various internal reviews performed within the Department of the Air Force, as well as the basic data from which the reports are prepared. Perhaps an amplification of our position will assist you in understanding our needs for access to, and the
