#!EMORANDUM FOR THE ESTIMATES GROUP, ORE
FROM: WESTERN EUROPE BRANCH
SUBJECT: ORE 64
REFERENCE: ('a) TS MEMORANDUM OF 2)4 DECEMBER 1947
ENCLOSING CRITICISM OF ORE 6).
Reference (a) is hereby returned because its tone, substance
and uncertain representation of departmental authority render it entirely
unacceptable.
No useful purpose is discernible in the conference proposed by
Reference (a) and the suggestion is therefore rejected because the captious
attitude which has become characteristic of OIR offers no basis for fruitful
negotiations.
Enclosed, are two (2) copies of WE's final draft of ORE 64 which
represents the coordinated views of CIA, Army, Navy and Air, the last three
of which are enthusiastic about CIA's estimate.
In view of the foregoing, it is strongly recommended that a copy
of ORE 64 be forwarded to the Department of State, for such action as it
may deem advisable, with a request that the anticipated dissent be in ORE's
hands not later than 7 January 1948 since publication will then have been
delayed by the Department of State for thirteen (13) days over and above
the time allotted to all supporting agencies.
