360. Letter From the Deputy Secretary of Defense (Duncan) to the President’s Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs (Aaron)1
Washington, June 18, 1979
Dear Dave:
(S) The Director of DIA is allowing resumption of photographic missions using the attache aircraft effective 1 July 1979. New procedures will require coordination [less than 1 line not declassified] and approval by the COM or their representatives for each mission. In addition pertinent DIA regulations have been amended to more clearly define security procedures for transfer and storage of aerial cameras, film, and associated equipment.
(S) These procedures should provide adequate safeguards against a repeat of the South Africa incident.
Sincerely,
Charles
