Its Assistant Deputy Director
for Intelligence
Lbii ti es with respect to the 06records, T be-
which you have carried out the assignment.
In view of the lack of clarity surrounding rights
.th you, and I vent to express appreciation for the
I have closely studied your meacraandum of 6 February,
as above. It appears to cover admirably the setter I
pray should adopt as policy that individuals
orisesd (lavernnt officials trio not have access
files. If we are challenged as to the legality or
PropLo- $t this stance the burden will be on the plaintiff
r find sasses mean of obliging us to alter our position. Ad-
ditionally, this will obviate the necessity of our providing
staff a sistance to research for aaterial which is filed in no
seed ter. It should have the effect of ma;Intaining the
qty of on sources and of preventing revelations about
the conduct of persona still alive.
3. 1 recognise that air position is bound to be contra-
versial. Nevertheless, there has been a good deal already
atten about the Office of Strategic Services, its people, and
its operations. The bloom would s'eea to be off the rose. Any
further xumnagtug in these files for research purposes will
have to have a reason of national alVdfieanee.
