At the NSC meeting on 15 November, the Director was asked by Mr. Flemming of the Office of Defense Mobilization about the production, import and uses of titanium in the Soviet bloc, and primarily in the Soviet Union. The question arose as a result of an item in the Director's intelligence briefing of the Council that the Hungarian government was negotiating to build an arms factory in India in exchange for titanium ore and other products. 2. The Director has asked that I prepare a reply to Mr. Flemming for his signature. Consequently.
