FROM OF:R Representative,
DJECT : chief, CSR/IS Coranents on Subject of
ii'c`FEn134CES: Your memo f`16O1-3,datea 12 May 1962k
25X1
In reviewing any possible assistance I may Five in support of your
requests in above reference, it
moves with
Ion Soviet military and other,in
e pence matters. Timing and the delicate nature of your request
called for careful consideration as to the most practical a-r
achieve the objective. Tice following comments from Chief,
describe our present relationship with ID,/USAREt and offer,some.
practical approaches you may wish to consider:
1. showed me your letter asking to acquire information
from ID/ ., in support of the working group and to arrange for con-
tacts with ID analysts. Since this request falls within. the responsibil-
ities of this base in maintaining liaison with the military services, I
would like to try to explain to you the climate in which such a request
of USAREUR would have to be made.
2. "You speak of viewing "with despair this relationship". I can
assure you, Charlie, that it hasn't reached that point; at least here
we see no sips of desperation.
3. "It is quite true that USAREIJR has atte!pted to confine contacts
with this headquarters to single appointed officer who attempted to broker
our requests for us, or to take care of them in conversations to which
they bring properly qualified officers.
)E. "This has had the effect of preventing "eye ball to eye ball
contact" with analysts, but it has also had an advantage. US.AREUR con-:
tends that this method permits them to staff out fully their responses
to our requests and avoids the temptation of a single analyst to heavily
load what may be a parochial viewpoint. Be this a true reason for these
limitations or not, we really are In no position to challenge it and,
in fact, it has worked out in several instances to our advantage:

5. In this request that you have just made, we are roving into
a very delicate area. Here you are asking us to arrange contacts
with the field elements of your counterparts of the DIA/CIA working
group. USAREUR could very easily inform vs that they are keeping
their superiors in hider cornand in the field and in their head-
quarters properly informed in support of their obligations to con-
tribute to the joint working group. ?T'Ao would leave us with no
real argument for inserting ourselves at this level in the search for
information. We realize, of course, that your request is valid and
would be productive. It is just a case of how rmich we can get away
with at this time.
6. ".3ome of our friends within L'SAREUR tell us that they predict
a loosening of the formalities of our present liaison arrangements". If
this is so, it is possible that in the very near future, we might be
amble to arrange for such visits as that of which you speak, but I would
certainly not be too confident of it.
7. "You might consider the following as a possible approach which
might be helpful. If you could acquire the approval of the DIA members
of the comrt;ittee for us to make a contact here after the command had.
been properly notified or have a DIA representative come out, perhaps
with one of your people, then I feel quite sure there would be no
problems.
8. "Before doing anything we u rant to present.for your consideration
these possible approaches. We assure you that we are fully aviare of the
importance of this topic and are anxious to give you our most effective
support. We are particularly concerned, however, that in our eagerness
to get this job done we don't step on toes whose hurt might effectively
retard the achievement of the objective."
