After assuring Col. Adams that I had not intended to
undermine local security measures, but had merely posed
an honest question, he recommended I be more prudent in
the future. Here, we mustn't reproach Col. Adams too

intelligence axiom of "never underestimate a potential

Eustis pol~cy, a po-licy which was probably the basis for
Col. Adams's investigation:
"A great part of the information sought by
people who do not have the best interests of
the United States at heart. is obtained from unclassi
fied sources through apparently innocent requests.
Any unusual request for information concerning the
installation, our personnel, or other data, should
be brought to the attention of the Assistant Chief
of Staff, G-2." J
