Committee in the next ten days or so, he would like to finish out his.work
with Senator John C. Stennis (D. , Miss.) on the upcoming hearings on the
1947 Act,. In this connection he reviewed a number of the names in the

or experience in the subject matter and, in response to his request, I promised

8. Received a call from Thomas J. Reckford,
Staff Assistant on n e igence, Commission on the Organization of the
Government for the Conduct of Foreign Policy, who asked if I would check
whether a security clearance has been granted for Lt. Col. John Moellering,
a White House fellow, who is working for Ann Armstrong, one of the
Commissioners. After checking with the Office of Security, I told Reckford
that we have no record of any clearances or contact with Lt. Col. Moellering,
I told him also that as a matter of policy we do not clear personal staff members
for access to compartmented information. I suggested to him that if it is
necessary to deal with Lt. Col. Moellering on classified information that his
request for clearances be forwarded to the Department of State for processing
by them. Reckford thanked me for the advice.
