AIR FORCE REGULATION 205-2 (19 May 1955) C U F O N Introduction








  
Air Force Regulation 205-2
SECURITY: Laws, Executive Orders, Etc., Pertaining to Safeguarding
Military Information - dated  19 May
1955
Introduction
10-NOV-1999  -  This Air Force Regulation (AFR) is one of
the security
regulations mentioned in the Unit History of the 4602d Air Intelligence
Service Squadron (AISS), UFO-related extracts of which are available
here on CUFON.  The 4602d AISS was the US Air Force Unit responsible for UFO
field  investigations in the continental United States during part of the
1950's.  
This Regulation gives the Executive Order and legal authorities for
the security procedures prescribed by AFR
205-1.
We believe it important that materials which facilitate understanding
of the circumstances surrounding important aspects of UFO history, such
as the activities of the 4602d AISS, be made available to readers. 
It is this belief which prompts us to post this and other regulations that
bore on the security procedures and requirements incumbent on USAF
units.
Also,  persons who accept unverified
material now in circulation, (documents without proper provenance) as
"real" should become familiar with the nature and rigorousness
of security
utilized when Top Secret  material was handled.  Clearly,
it would be difficult for someone to obtain photographs or copies of highly
classified materials and the names of persons gaining access to material
classified Top Secret are recorded.  However, the lessons of Aldrich Ames and other such
individuals remind us that such activities (espionage) are sometimes successfully
perpetrated.  This raises the question of
why, if (for example) the MJ-12 material is genuine, has no one been prosecuted for
violating current security regulations and laws.
The depth and breadth of the subjects addressed by this and other
security regulations should be of interest to anyone looking into
military and governmental actions of the 1950's.
