31" 3.7lCT t Exploitation of Cos uunist d Charges.
I wnnild appreciate any views you might have on my
proposal to use Professor Zirkie. The idea, rnughiy, is
this: Re is a well-known scholar on the subject of Soviet
scholarly production in the field of science-both good and
phony. If a an of his stature attacked this study as
another one of a series of Soviet "phonies',.it might have
a desirable impact in the right quarters.
If you agree to the idea of our using Professor Zirkle,
do you believe it is necessary for Ito effect 25X1
clearance an hilt? The International Scientific Commission
report, as you recur,, is unclassified. .I think I could
handle this in an innocent sort of way without dragging in
any classified material. Than-king you sincerely in advance
for your views.--Sincerely yours,
Horace S. Craig
