and was told this was not definitely decided but that possibly Dr.
Wheelon would take over.
3. The Chairman asked if we were in the new building, and
the Director mentioned that the building was full and appeared to be
satisfactory. Mr. Osmers asked if there were any danger in con-
centrating all our people in an area where they could be readily
identified, but the Director said that while there might be some
slight increase of risk, if Russian intelligence made us their target
they could develop the information anyway.
