Note page 2, lines 20 to 25 of this bill. It seems to me that it would be
preferable not to have the Agency designated as "a defense agency" as defined
in the bill. This subject requires further study, and I am merely giving my
own personal view. I assume that in any case where the Agency desired to do
so, it could arrange to have the Defense Department or some branch t} ereof
act for it in this regard. My suggestion, of course, is made in the interests
of security. I think the bill itself is a progressive step and one with w uch I
am quite familiar because similar legislation has been proposed several tirnes
during the last three years.
