TELEPHONE: READING 72742 TELEGRAMS AND CABLES: BROADCASTS, TELEX, LONDON 29th December 19599 Dear Roger, You will remember that when you were here in October I mentioned to you that I thought it would be useful if John Sheringham were able to visit Washington and make a tour of your Bureaus on the West Coast and in the Far Fast, and I am now writing to ask you formally whether you would agree to this, because if so, I would propose that it should take niece from about 25th February to the end of i'Miarch. I an sure it would serve a very useful purpose both in giving Sheringhnrr, an insight into the FibIS organisation and work, and at the same time allow an opportunity of our particular needs being represent- ed both in Washington and in the Bureaus. My suggestion would be that he should spend perhaps eight days in Washington and then go on to the West Coast, Tokio, Hokkaido, Okinawa,, Saii on, and then home. I would be grateful if you could let me 'Pno w by signal whether you would agree to this in principle, and I would then work out a suggested itinerary and send it to you for your agreement. I am now able to give you more information about, our monitoring project in East Africa. The position is, that the project has been approved and finance made available and we are proceeding to have built a small monitoring station ,some eight miles from ldairobi. I have no firm estimated date yet as to how long it is likely to take to build, but I hope that we may have something in operation not long after the 1st fpril. As I told you, the object of this operation will be to monitor trans- missions in African languages primarily, although we will also take some English, Arabic and Amharic transmissions which can only be monitored there. The material will he edited on the, snot and sent by teleprinter direct from Nairobi to Caversham where it will be fed into our main stream of monitored material Approved For Release 2009/07/09: CIA-RDP80-00765A000100050049-6 Approved For Release 2009/07/09: CIA-RDP80-00765A000100050049-6 0 0 - 2 - -",;th December 19E~ and made aveilahle to your London Bureau in the normal way. I am very glad that at long lest we have been able to mtkl some firm pro,oress on this front, and in view of the activity in broadcasting both to and from West Africa I shell he most interested to hear of any proggres:s you are makinD in your ideas for monitoring in that area. We all enjoyed seeing you on your vi.eit, here, which I are sorry was so short, and I hope that you got a good rest when you returned home because I know from experience how tiring these tours are. With ail good wishes for, 1960, Yours sincerely, J. T. Campbell Head of Slonitoring Service Chief, Fi-,IS, '470 E: Street, N .4 . , Washington 25, L.C. U ?.A_.
