From time to time AFIO members will send us various
kinds of material which, in light of our mission, is not very
relevant. The enclosure represents a document meeting the
above definition.
As I read through it one night the thought crossed my
mind that you might enjoy having it for your personal library.
You may be quite familiar with the incident but it was new to
me and I found it quite fascinating.
There is one particular episode to which I would draw your
attention and I have marked the appropriate page with a
paperclip. All I can deduce from it is that the U. S. Navy was
involved in clandestinity about a century and a half before the
CIA was a fact of life. You may have a vignette here worthy of
being worked into a speech before an appropriate group.
In closing, many thanks for your kind letter of 19 August
Sincerely,
Approved For Release 2010/02/03: CIA-RDP05SO062OR000100030129-6
