1. It is realized that NSCID 7 may possibly increase our activ-
ities in the field of alien interrogation. It is not believed that such
increase requires any substantial increase in our existing facilities in
conducting this activity.
2. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has indicated that it
has no objection to our interrogation of-aliens on a highly selective
basis -- providing that "prior to interviewing such individuals, you clear
the matter with the headquarters of this Bureau, inasmuch as any one field
division may not always b cog in zant of a pending investigation by this
Bureau in other field divisions."
3. With specific regard to your memorandum of 1 December 1947,
listed as Reference A., above:
a. The establishment of an Alien Interrogation Unit at
this time is not favorably considered. It is desired that full
use of the administrative and reports facilities of the 25X1A
be utilized in carrying out our functions pertaining
alien interrogation and that there be no increase in personnel
for the purpose. This does not preclude your requesting addi-
tional personnel if and when the work load in this regard proves
such increase necessary.

b. We cannot justify, in the present stage of our
development, the permanent acquisition of a '*safe house"
either through lease or purchase. When necessary to provide
wuch a facility we will utilize hotel rooms or guest homes.
4. Effective at once, all clearances with the Federal Bureau
of Investigation with regard to.the interrogation of aliens will be done
thru the Washington headquarters of the Bureau and in writing.
