Career Corps Program, emorandum dated 5 September 1951
1s In discussions concerning my memorandum on the Career Corps
Program, I find that the term "cor1missioned services" as used by me
has been subject to a bit of misunderstanding. Several people have
inferred that I meant only a military officers corps like the U. S.
Army or Navy. Such is not the case.
2. 1 had. been advised that the term "commissioned services"
applied equally to the Foreign Service of the State Department,
the Public Health Service, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the 7. S.
Coast Guard and the officers corps of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
It was with this meaning in mind that the term was used.. I find
now that the State Department is not generally included.
3. It is my personal belief that the intelligence service of
the United States should be an officers corps in CIA modeled along
the lines of the Foreign Service of the State Department.
