Security Service (MI-5) and the British Secret Service
(MI-6) has begun. in London, foreshaobwing closer functional

M. Pierre Boursicot, Chief of the French Secret Service.
Gen. Carolet, now in Berlin, was mentioned as a candidate
for the position in 1947, when M. Boursicot was appointed.
A misunderstanding between OSO/Hanoi and the local U.S.
Military Attache, which arose from the latter's misconception.
of OSO raw intelligence reports as infringing upon his
responsibility for evaluated military analyses, has been
fully clarified, with close and infoiaed cooperation expected.
