It is generally agreed that the PIA and its predecessor agentlos birtkon
the lead in securing comprehensive data an Far lawtern ittldue rom Amerldan
business concerns.
They have secured info:tuition by three principal mettiods,
1. Interviews with perms who harm 'trod, traveled or worked in the hr tort,
2. Broadside requests for submittal of documents on Par Eastern indUatty Iddrivs#-
ed both to individuals and companies.
3. Detailed euanination of company tilos to secure- answers to opsoUla que*-
tions.
For the first approach they contracted for the servioes of the field staff a
the Bureau of Forelen and Domestic Commerce; the second has been partly a by
product of the first and partly has been cooducted by the Asevican Business
Firms Unit of the PIA Economic Intelligence Section; and for the Wird th
(mistreated for the services of the Economic Warfare Unit of the Dept. of Justice
until about a year ago rhen the contract was transferred by mutual agreement to
the BEC.
It seems to be agreed that OKI, MID and OM have had relatively few direct
contacts except for the searches made by all throe for pictures and maps; %rut
except for contacts made, after clearing with YEA, to secure do-tailed answers
to specific questions.
Thm only other major activity in this field is the N.!. unit of the Dept. of
? Justiee which has produced & voluminous series of reports on U. S. exports of
machinery to Japan based on the records seised by the Alien Property Custodian
in the U. S. offices of the Japanese trading companies. All the reports of the
CY. unit of Justice are in the files of OSS.
The most significant product of the TEL program is an Intelligence Source File
with about 12,000 listings of persons and U. S. companies, cross-indexed by the
area andrindustry on which they have information and including some batkground
an -the individualle activities and a full record of the material he has furnished
and the contacts which PEA and its contracting agencies have made with him. Na41**
are being added regularly to this file but I-believe there are few well informed
persons or companies that are not now listed. This PEA program has been sup-
plemented by the work of the Survey of Foreign Experts whose records have been
added to 17.Alis Intelligence Source File.

My conolusions are that:
1. We know who knows what about the Far East
2. We have access to the material that hall been callectod.
3. we should continue to rely on special interviews and company visits 4,to get
detailed answers to the specific questions which turn out to to really' La-

relatively much larger staffs to continue t'l.) broadside **arch for nen soumes

4. We must seek to get a more thorough exploitation of British resourcos in this

5. We will learn nothing by this means about either change* in the structure ar
about the functioning of :optimum industry since 1941. This is Or far our
most pressing need!
