LVICE,ANDUI1 FOR ADIIMAL SCHUIR1111/1.
Subject: Document Research.
1. I have forwarded to you today a memorandum requesting
certain officer and enlisted personnel from the Navy for re-
search work on air documents, purduant to the agreement between
the Service members of the Joint Intelligence Committee approved
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 2 August 1944. In atking this
request I was cognisant of the problems confronting you in con-
nection with Japanese linguists.
2. The purpose of this memorandum is to request your agree-
ment to the establishment at Camp Ritchie of a JoInt Army-Navy
document research set up to handle all documents tram all Theaters
opposing the Japanese. We are confronted with a situation where
best use must be made of the limited personnel available qualified
for Japanese document work. By pooling our trenslators and es-
tablishing the activity at Ritchiesttere we are free of the restric-
tions imposed on personnel in the District, we can make the most
effective use of our resources. I gathered from our conversation
a few days ago that you would favorably consider such an arrancement.
My document section at Ritchie is functioning and is being expanded.
3. I would greatly appreciate your concurrence or comment on
this proposal at the earliest practicable date.
