N. Y. HENRY V. POOR DIRECTOR AND GENERAL COUNSEL May 11, 1961 Hon. Allen W. Dulles 2130 E. Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. Dear Allen: Recent news stories make one feel much like an old grad whose alma mater's name is being un- justly sullied, and who wants desperately to rush to her aid and to that of her president. (What these same events make you feel is awful to contemplatel) However ineffective an aid, this letter carries my strong support, reiterates my admiration for you, and expresses may earnest hope that all works out as you would wish. The Cuban affair created a need for a scape- goat. What better than one that couldn't answer back? T'm keeping my fingers crossed at the idea that any appreciable part of the alma mater's func- tions will be turned over to the Pentagon. This transfer would be a great mistake - please let me know if any of us would be helpful in building up resistance to such an idea. Very, best wishes. Faithfully yours, A Approved For Release 2003/03/28 : CIA-RDP80BO1676R003500210019-3
