the Director this date.
2. At the invitation of Mr. Walsh, Staff Director of the House
Baltic Committee, I met with him and Mr. Abbott Washburn, of USIA,

Mr. Walsh that we would be glad to allow to accompany him
on his trip to Newfoundland in search of films on the Soviet take over. In

films, particularly in their subsequent commercial exploitation under
USIA auspices.

report that Congressman Pat Hillings (R. , Calif..) had made extremely
