MEMO FOR THE RECORD OF 'THE CLARK COMMITTEE
1. In a very brief discussion (privately) with Colonel Miller
this morning, he informed me that he had a "whole stack of questions
to be answered by the Agency after the first of tha year." Evidently
after each of the Hoover c rrd.ssion's weekly staff meetings (held on
Fridays at 1600) he is handed a list of questions which must be answered.
He has been holding on to these lists until they assume considerable
proportion, and intends to deliver them into our hands after the first
of the year.
2. These questions are not the result of his (or Colonel Lane's)
tour of the Agency, necessarily, but seem to be directed to them from
General Christiansen E:s the result of crank letters or letters addressed
to the Commission from the outside. He read me a few sample questions
as follows: "How many ex-OSS employees are hired by the Agency, what
are their average grades, how long have they been with the Agency, -,nd
how* often promoted"? "How extensive are your inactive files (presumably
in Archives) and how often are they referred to"? There was also one
vague question pertinent to "Reserve Funds" which he glossed over
rather rapidly and I was unable to grasp.
3. I asked him if he intended to submit these answers as part of
his report, or as a separate rej:ort to the Commission. He stated that
he would include pertinent questions into the subject material of his
report, where applicable, but for the most part the answers would be
submitted separately to the Commission, with a copy to Colonel Lane.
These questions, when obtained, will have to be broken {down into re-
sponsible offices, and circulated accordingly. Hence his purpose in
holding on to them until they ass me their present proportion, rather
than handing they. out piece meal. I would estimate he had well over
one hundred questions on hand at this writing.
