Central Intelligence Agency · 1958-07-28 · 2 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This Central Intelligence Agency memorandum for record, dated 28 July 1958 and signed by W. E. Lexow, Chief of the Applied Science Division, records a meeting with OSI representatives about a 3 July 1958 letter from Leon Davidson. They advised not answering the letter unless Public Relations policy required a reply, and if one had to be sent, a categorical no. They also proposed telling Davidson that public law bars such operations in the United States. The letter was then to go to the FBI in case Davidson was soliciting information for a subversive group.
