Sandia Atomic
Base In Military
j
Top Secret
WASHINGTON, (AV-The army
and navy said yesterday that con
struction and operations at the
Sandia base near Albuquerque, N.
M., are top secret undef the atomic
energy act of 1946.
The services made the statement
jointly in refusing the confirm or
deny reports published in the Den
ver Post that huge caverns are
being dug in a mountain range
near Albuquerque for atomic war
defenses.
The Post’s copyrighted story
described the project as a “super
defense measure.’’
The army and navy linked the
cavern report with construction at
the highly secret Sandia base in
ibis joint release:
“On July 24, 1947, the war and
navy departments released infor
mation regarding the armed forces
special weapon project, in that re
lease it was stated that ‘the prin
cipal field installation of AFSWP
is Sandia base located at Albu
querque.’
“Construction and operations at
this base fall in the category of re
stricted data under the atomic en
ergy act of 1946 and are also clas
sified military information.
“Therefore amplification of the
above quoted statement is consid
ered undesirable.”
In the original announcement,
the government said the armed
forces special weapons project
“will discharge all military serv
ice functions relating to atomic
energy.”
