SUBJECT; ;,, ;-;asings on Cargo

Investigation reveals that paper shipped on subject cargo had been
procured from the U. S. Government Printing Office. Although repeated
requests have been made to G.P.O. not to mark shipments of paper to CIA
with CIA markings, they still continue to do so. It has been the practice
of our warehouse personnel to clip out these markings from the wwrrappings'`
each ream of paper. It is apparent that some of these markings were
inadvertently overlooked. The responsibility for seeing that'supplies
are not shipped outi beaa}x 9IA markings is vested in the Chief and
Assistant Chiefs.-maker-Caster. They have been instructed to inspect
all such items to assure that such incidents do not happen. The
seriousness of this oversight has again been emphasized to those
employees responsible.
It appears that the most definite means of precluding this happening
again is to make a special request to the G.P.O. to discontinue marking
packages of paper delivered to CIA. Further, all purchase requests
directed to G.P.O. will carry a note to the effect that all shipments
must be free of CIA markings.
