Colonel Forney indicated that it was his attitude that inasmuch as it has been established that the :tly1118 disks are not the result of any Army or Navy experi- • mente, the matter is of interest to the FBI. He stated that he was of the opinion that the :Bureau, if at all possible, should accede to General Schulgen•s request.
