My dear Roscoe,
I have a young*
in about 1931, names
While having dinner with him when in Washington att.,endin ;
the recent Commandants' Conference, he stated that the ,utfit
for whom he works, rhich is a mapping agency, had been ' rans-i
f erred from the Ste+t;e Der artment to the Central Intelli ,'pace ;
Agency.
He stated that he had received several forms to fill out
from your agency and that he had given my name as a ref.-rence
While he did not seem to know the reason for th i irterro? -
gation, he gathered that nerhaps it was a loyalty test.
If that is the case, I can assure you that he i:9 a loyal;
native born ','ashingtonian with no tendencies toward he so-
called Left Wing.
Hoping that you are enjoying your new duties and with be
regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
