r. riOi~ANDU:2 r OR: Director of Centri:LL inteIJ Bence
..UBJECP: Proposed Healy to Mr. Gordon UraYy's L?tte
=_.aced 20 J1xie 1957
1. Enclosed is a proposed reply to P W. Goraon =ray's LettFer dated
2 June x957 for your approval and sigsiat;ure.
2. Mr. Gaither has now actively alcen over the or?anization cL the
study group on the relative aa.Lue of active atnd pass.~ve measures n=or the
protection of the civil population (NSC ..ction JJ 91-o(2) ), which he
briefly discussed with you, I r. Amory kind me on i. r?Iay 1957.
Since then, there nave been a number or discussions on the scope
or the study with the Science Advisory Oonmiiz tee, soz e of which I have
HLtended. in general, the group is init:.aily assuming; a very broad scope
with the view toward selecting for detailed study ce=?Ua.in key problems
within this scope. on 24 June, Mr. Gaither indicated to me that he would
you on what specific key problems
like to have further discussions with.
you thought required major attention.
14e It is planned to spread the group into three. main sections; one
on active defense, headed by Dr. Wiesner, Nl1T; one on passive defense,
headed by Mr. Webster; and the third o1 political, social and economic
problems, which will probably be headed by W. James r`. Brownlee. There
will also be a rather high level advisory group which vI l include such
people as Mr. Lovett. Mr. Webster has asked for the part-time loan of
one individual from O/SI.
5. It is anticipated that the briefings will. be of the usual type
outlining the nature of the Soviet threat and intentions. More detailed
intelligence information may be required on specific problems as the
study progresses. This office will be glad. to arrari e the procurement
of the necessary material, but it is probable that representatives of
ONE, ORR, and perhaps otl-.er offices may be needed to rssist, in this.
