This Central Intelligence Agency file is a compilation of Top Secret Director's Log entries from September and December 1951. The entries are daily reports from CIA offices such as OSO, OPC and OO on covert operations and intelligence matters. They cover leaflet drops over mainland China, agent teams sent into Albania and Bulgaria, plans for defector detention centers in Panama, liaison with British, French and Spanish services, and the opening of the Trotsky papers at Harvard. None of the entries mentions UFOs.

TE OF DATE
CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
ITEMS FROM COL. HANSEN
Conversed with Drew Pearson at Doctors Hospital- late
yesterday afternoon. He is growing increasingly interested
in psychological warfare, though he presumably has no
information on CIA involvement in this activity. He had
suspected our association with the Kerensky group, realizes
the sensitivity of the business, but is unaware of our
relationship with RFE.
Mr. Chapman Pincher of the London Daily Express called on me
this morning for a background fill-in on CIA to be used in
an article he is preparing for that publication. I provided
him with those materials we have available and suggested that
he check his story for accuracy when completed.
