Dear Jean,
SG1A Please find enclosed three copies of a request for a modification to the Security
Classification Guide.
In retrospect, all the experimental data, results, theories and protocols collected or developed under
contract DAMD 17-85-C-5130 are not inconsistent with what is generally available in the open
literature. For example, as a result of the meta-analysis task for FY 1989, we found that our
quantitative measures are statistically inseparable from those resulting from experiments conducted in
open laboratories. Therefore, in my opinion, removing the requested paragraphs from the
Classification Guide does not compromise our program, nor does it reveal a specialized capability.
The requested minor (3 of 10 paragraphs) change is consistent with this observation. If you have any
SG1J questions regarding this request, please contactE__ I
A timely response would greatly appreciated in that it would assist us in the documentation for FY
1989. Should this request be granted, please mail a signed copy to us for our records. Thank you for
your help.

Edwin C. May, Ph.D.
