Records Management Division
The National Archives and Records Service (NABS) made an informal request
through its liaison officer that CIA transfer to NABS the microfilm copy of
files of the Coordinator of Intelligence and Director of OSS. This request
was precipitated by a book by Anthony Cave Brown entitled it~iid Bill Donovan;
The Last Hero. The author states that one of the primary sources o is o0
i as micr~`ilm copy of the Director's files that he gained access to from
Donovan's former law partner. He also states that in addition to the copy he
used, which eventually will be made available to the public at the Army lVar
College, Fort Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the only other copy is at CIA. NABS
claims to have received ntunerous requests for OSS records since the publication
of the book. The Agency has informed N.ARS that we still. consider the OSS
records in our possession to be classified and that all requests should be
directed to the Information and Privacy Coordinator, CIA.
The New Products Department of the 3D4 Company briefed PFPD and repre-
sentatives from several other Agency components on its new paper and ink
process which enables the ink to be programmed to disappear at pre-established
intervals from a few seconds to five years. The new paper, which is heat
sensitive, is reusable and can be used in standard printing processes as well
as with special pens. There is interest in this prodtuct, especially for
operational purposes.~~
