Scientific Intelligence tepresent4itive in Departtn::nt of Statres
1. We have discussed the mechanics for carrying out tt.e propc.,sai
of 051 that a full-time acd.enttfjc intell.ig tce represeni;ativ'e assume
specified duties in the Acquisition and Distribution Diviaicn, Office
of Intelligence, Department of State. As indicated to you orally, tha
proposal in your staff study of 10 March presents certain te?nical.
objections.
2, to underPUM that the Department of State agrees teat the
basic responsibility is theirs, but that they lade funds at Y.hs pr*se~it
tine. We further understand that 0SI is anxious to have this position
filled and is wtUing to provide funds for it initially, but that Vie
Department of State is to assume responsibility for salaxy m en its
budget permits, informed us that has agreed 25X1A
to arrangements whereby CIA wcu. _d detail a representative f e f, the
above duties for the time, being.
3. In disc*aasions with the Deputy Director for Administration
and the Josiptroller, it was agrv*d that such a detail was a eshift
and that the Department of State should be encouraged to undertake
finirsiail responsibility at the earliest amt. If, however, the
position remained pprs ently with CIA, it would have to be 3haarged
to the CSI T/O And cei:`Li*ag. It was, therefore, agreed that we should
suggest making the detail a temporary arran ent v d only until
30 J=O 1952, the end of the fiscal, year, without oharge to the ()ST
cei1:i , and that as of 1 July either the state Department would unior-
take to have the individual traz starred to their payrolls or the po i-
tion would be char rd to the 05I ceiling. If this is satis.fi:,ctory ,to
you -and the Deputy ]Director of Intelligence, you may proceed with the
processing of the individual, provided appropriate arrang is can
be made with Security.
