MEMORANDUM

TO:       Members of the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation
          Experiments

FROM:     Advisory Committee Staff

DATE:     September 8, 1994

RE:       Communications and Documentation Regarding Agency
          Searches:  Department of Energy


     As discussed at prior meetings, the Department of Energy
Intelligence Division files ("Intel Files") may likely have
contained documentation of experimental work performed at the DOE
(or AEC) facilities for other agencies, and on intentional
release activities (which, such as Green Run, were relevant to
intelligence functions).  After an additional Headquarters search
and interviews with cognizant persons, DOE has not been able to
locate the "Intel Files."  As further stated in the attached DOE
report, DOE believes they may have been substantially destroyed
within the past two decades, and as late as 1989.  (Attachment 1.
