SUBJECT: Meetsug with PHS Officials 5 May 1958
3. It was explained to Public Health Service staff that:
a. They could not undertake additional portions of Section 45
presently assigned to Army without the concurrence of Army, 25X1A9a
and this matter would be looked into by with a view
to suggesting that Army give fiscal support to PISS for those
portions of Army's Section 45 commitments which PHS could
appropriately do; that is, all portions of Army's responsibilities
except for military organizations.
b. They will be assigned only four areas for FY 1959 and
FY 1960 with the plan to expand their commitment to eight areas
in FY 1961, with a larger staff approximating that indicated in
reference (b) for FY 1960.
c. We cannot permit them to use our drafts directly for
their own purpose because of security requirements; however,
we agreed they could use the unclassified files and field observa-
tions developed for NIS contributions for their own purposes.
This explanation was entirely satisfactory to the PM people
who agreed to this restriction on NIS drafts.
4. It was my impression that PBS staff was desirous of continuing
on NIS work and that with the augmentation envisioned that they could do
a first-class job on NIS contributions, particularly in view of the travel
by PHS people in the areas on which they were writing to focus recent
information. It might be added that the reason for the augmentation
from the previous four-man staff to the present five is because part of
their staff had previously been paid by ICA funds which are no longer
available for this purpose. Before the meeting adjourned I indicated
that we were desirous of having PBS do a major portion of NIS Section 45
contributions, and that it was our intention to build up their capabilities
to the extent necessary to provide as a minimum an eight-area coverage
per year on a continuing basis.
