This will bring you up to date on at I have dons ooneerning
the 60 tar radio trans it ter which you have written as about on several
oooasioos.
Following your oable, In which you stated that you thought it in
Our best interests to oo ntaot the interested agonies on this subbsots
I ooutastsd both the State Department and the Departimect of he drags
neither of whisk knew anything about it. I on positive that there has
been no soordination within the State Departments Through G.1, ID?
I ended up in the Civil Attairs Division of the Department of the AnqF9
They knew absolutely nothing about this projsst and agreed to send a
sable divesting that this projsot not be tundsrtokr% without seordinstion
here in Washington. I drafted sash a cable and sent it to then for
dispatch. dlaaeet siammltaneously a Satiosal Seourity Council paper
only a few days old ear out which provided that the t itsd States
should nndortabe a broadcast progr a to Japan tram a suitably looatod
taransaitter station st on +kinefto This paper was dated
7 Ooteber 161d which enures no doubt that the original projeot with
which Colonel Martin eoofronted us and this one are separate and
independea-t. We hmare tocen the neosssary ssetion hers on a high level
to insure that no transmitter will be #noted an Okiaamma without oar
plate coordination with us in i plan station of the prograel proposed
in this National Seeu rity Counoil paper. However, du, to the fact that
this paper has cone out, the Civil Affairs Division, Department of the
An, deslirted to dispateb the original awssage which I drafted.
There is one thing of whisk I on sure and that is that the
pro3eot which we have been discussing and which Colonel Martin talked
to us about has never been ooordiaatned with anyoaze bars In Washington.
I as still very snzious to got may nova Information you have on it.
