Dear 'Dr. empner :
Thank you for forwarding copies of the Communist rropa-
ganda material which has been distributed to prisoners-of-
war in Jugoslavia. As you say, the infiltration of the
Western Zone of Germany with Communist-indoctrinated former
prisoners-of-war poses quite a problem.
I am most pleased to receive thin material and most
assuredly appreciate your thoughtfulness and your continued
interest in the Agency.
Again with thanks for your kindness, believe me,
Sincerely,
Signed & dispatched 2/8/49
