the eras Wont, o nemoranclum of October 15.
1. In order that we may offectLvely work out 1 program for
the physical arrangomonts with the radio companies :Cdr the use of nwi-
litios, we agreed that r jol.nt committee should be sot up under the
chairmanship of yourself and aallace K. Harrlson, Assztant Coordinator
of this office, which would moot rog-ularly once A W,91( At A ,itated tame
and which should be presided over alternately by you eind 1r. Harrison.
Mr. Don Francisco, Chairman of our Communications Diviolon?
and three assistants will represent our office on this committee? And
it was your thought that Ur. Poynter and three assistants wou34 repr-
sent your office. The committee will agree upon a program fart
(1) the physical arrangements for Lho t24.711 of facilitloo
(2) u time schedule for short-aave broadcasts.
As the plan L; agreed upon, joint negotLations will be undertaken and
conducted with the companies.
II. It will also be necessary to work out a plan by which
our respective offices can exchange inforumtion for short-way, broad-
casting and other purposes. We are designating Ntr. jainieson of our
office to work this out int cooperation with your representatives who
I understand will be Mr. Joseph Barnes and Mr. Irving Pflxum.
III. We will establish liaison between our respective strategy
committees and between whatever other groups experience Indicates 13
advisable in order to insure most effective implementation of the
President's over-all objectives.
I am looking forward to the closest cooperutAon with Colonel
