Responsibility Reassignment for Unconventional Air Vehicles

Summary

This CIA document, dated June 1954, outlines a reorganization of functions within the scientific intelligence field. The ASD (Assistant for Scientific Intelligence) is designated to oversee all available information on unconventional air vehicles. This includes coordination with other OSI divisions, which must provide technical advisory support as needed by the ASD. Additionally, the ASD will manage all related OSI files, and other divisions are required to transfer their documents and cease maintaining separate records.

The text reflects an organizational and operational approach around a subject that, although not explicitly mentioned, could relate to reports on unidentified flying objects. Centralizing information under a single office suggests an intention to control and standardize the handling of such data, a common practice in the 1950s for sensitive or strategically relevant topics.
