WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
May 6, 1955
Two special requests were received from Mr. Donald Irwin before
this record was begun. One of these was for the names of the Soviet
scientists on an Interplanetary Commission. These names were broad-
cast by Moscow radio and complete FYIIS ticker was supplied to Mr.
Irwin within about two hours. (Dr. Debevoise)
About a week later, Mr. Irwin requested figures on refugees
and escapees now in the United States from the European area. This
request came in about 11:30 a.m., and was not filled until about
4:30 p.m., slightly over Mr. Irwln's deadline. The information was
secured through a telephone request to FOA who found it necessary to
go to the Department of Justice. Owing to the fact that the figures
were for Mr. Rockefeller's office, and to the fact that the Corsi
affair was occupying the attention of the press, Justice cleared
the figures at a very high level before releasing them to FOA.
(Dr. Debevoise)

Mr. Stacy Aay requested that Mr. Charles Taquey secure the services
of two well-informed intelligence officers to brief him on certain
aspects of the Soviet Point IV Program not covered in earlier papers by
OIR and ORR. Through Mr. Evans of OIR and then acting chief
of ORR, I arranged for and Mr. Helmut Sonnenfeldt to
brief Mr. May. Mr. May appeared pleased and requested that the material
presented in the briefing be gathered together in typewritten form
for Mr. Rockefeller. This is being done. (Dr. Debevoise)
