Dear Mr. Dulles,
The Department of State is currently examining the problems
involved in a possible US-USSR agreement to ban the production and
deployment of long range ballistic missiles. In order to explore these
problems it is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of developing an
inspection program designed to disclose any Soviet violations of the
agreement.
On the basis of preliminary conversations with representatives
of your agency, it was concluded to approach the problem of inspection
in the following manner:
a. Select a group of individuals from government
knowledgeable on the subject.
b. Convene a symposium of these individuals.
c. Prepare a report summarizing the pertinent
conclusions of the meeting.
I should like to request, if in your view it is feasible, that CIA
act as executive agent for this undertaking. The Department will assist
in any way possible, especially in obtaining the services of individuals
who may be selected.
Sincerely yours,
Philip J. Farley
The Honorable
Allen W. Dulles, Director,
Central Intelligence Agency
