Letter from DCI to The Secretary of HEW
dated 13 May 1961
Letter from Secretary/HEW to DCI dtd 16 May 1961
1. A meeting was held on 23 May 1961 from 1400 to 1450 with
Mr. James M. Quigley, Assistant Secretary to HEW, in Room 5264
HEW Bldg.. 330 Independence Ave., S. W.
2. Pursuant to reference (b) I met with Mr. Quigley to discusF
the possible allocation of NIS Sections 43 and 46 to HEW. On this
occasion I gave Mr. Quigley a copy of the NIS Standard Instructions,
a copy of Section 43 on NIS 16 (Austria) and of Section 46 on NIS 3 (France).
3. Mr. Quigley was unfamiliar with the purpose of the NIS program
and its general nature. I explained these facets to him. He showed interest
in further exploring this subject with his staff. I pointed out to him that
HEW was already doing Section 45 in a special staff under the International
Health Division which should give him a fairly good grasp of the kind of
relationship and arrangements which would obtain if these additional
allocations were made.
4. As an initial impression he indicated HEW would like to take
on this work, and that they could produce the kind of intelligence which
would be called for in Section 46 and in Section 43. He questioned
whether or not they could develop proper capabilities for the Religious
and Public Information aspects of Section 43, but that they would have
a better view of this after the project was staffed in his department.
He agreed, after studying the matters, to get in touch with me for a
definitive discussion with his staff relative to this subject.
