Project ZRCORSET (Training site for Foreign Nationals) -
the establishment of AEC cover appears definitely infeasible
and an alternate plan for Armed Forces cover.is under develop-
ment for presentation to the Department of Defense. In
pursuing the possibility of AEC cover, we found that AEC
would require assurance of CIA's continued support in the
former confrontation with the Congress and the press. Both
- Col. Edwards and Col. Hansen advised informally that we' could
not give significant support to AEC in a cover story and "
that AEC appeared to be quite justified in its unwillingness
to furnish such cover. Hence the action-now under way to
develop an Armed Forces cover plan.
