SOME PRESS COPY FROM NEWSMEN ABOARD SIXTH FLEET STILL BEING
RECEIVED NATIONAL MILITARY COMMAND CENTER FOR RELAY TO NEWS
MEDIA CONCERNED. SUBMISSION OF NEWS COPY THROUGH THIS CHANNEL
IS NOT AUTHORIZED. REQUEST THIS PRACTICE BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY.
IF COPY IS BEING TRANSMITTED TO NMCC FOR SECURITY REVIEW
PURPOSES, SENDERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT SUCH REVIEW IS NOT
CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED IN WASHINGTON. SECURITY MUST BE EXERCISED
AT THE SOURCE. THERE IS, OF COURSE, NO OBJECTION TO VOLUNTARY
SECURITY AGREEMENTS WITH NEWSMEN AS SUGGESTED IN REFERENCE,
ALTHOUGH SUCH AGREEMENTS ARE BEST LOGICALLY OBTAINED PRIOR TO
EMBARKATION AND EXPERIENCE HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT SUCH AGREEMENTS
ARE NEVER COMPLETELY BINDING AND CANNOT BE ENFORCED ONCE THE NEWSMAN
HAS LEFT THE SHIP AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON.
