CAPTAIN GROSSIOPF reported that the Navy Depart-
ment considers this project to be in the British sphere of
operations, and therefore believes *that the Free French
should request the six P. T. boats from the Admiralty.
Took note that COLONEL DONOVAN would discuss
this project with representatives of the
British Admiralty.

EXCERPT FROM
JPWC SUBCOMMITITE
MINUTES
August 111 1942
gg.W.SJwDlUgAgLMILEAAMGt
COLONEL DONOVAN introduced MR. W. A. ROSEBOROUGH,
who stated the details of a proposal to furnish the Free
Frendh with certain materials in return for their cooper-
ation in setting up and developing communications with
FRANCE, both occupied and unoccupied. He recommended tie
projects:
1. Establishment of a radio network of one
station in BELGIUM and three stations In FRANCE,
to remain latent until combat operations begin.
2. Establishment of an operational base at
GIBRALTAR for the purpose of maintaining under-
ground communications with SOUTHWESTERN FRANCE
and NORTH AFRICA; this would also serve as a base
for subversive activities.
As a quid pro quo the Free French services want
(1) about 50 radio sets, most of which 0.S.S. can furnish;
(2) five or six vedettes or PT boats capable of operating
in the English Channel under adverse weather conditions or
of covering the considerable distances involved in the GIB-
RALTAR plan; (3) some small planes. The last request is
not regarded as feasible.
Following MR. ROSEBOROUGH'S departure, CAPTAIN
GROSSKOPF raised doubt as to the availabllity of any U. S.
PT boats for this project and suggested that the British
might better be able to spare six boats of this type.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE:-
a. Agreed that the plan had merit and should
be further investigated as to feasibility
of providing the material desired by the
Free French;
b. Requested CAPTAIN GROSSKOPF to ascertain
if the Navy could make six PT boats avail-
able for this project.

OUBWBOT: Problem of OU 1rin Materiel for the Development
of our A4tiVIt 7t440404
k
DAM
1, Our efforts to date or the development of our
Inte1ligence aetivitiee in France have been directed to
sending agents in, the Unoccupied Zone under plausible pri-
vate cover. It ban become rather e3ear that the Vichy
Government in not likely to grant Ontg7 its to any
American eitizen going to lranee for private or business
reasono, Mould we sueceed in placing men in Francis, it
is obvious that the effectiveness of thoir operations will
depend upon the presence of a Ohief Agent In Vichy,
2, In view of the difficultiem eneountered Do
tar in reference to obtaining visas, 444 considering also
that OUV relations with the Vichy regim4 may eventually
deteriorate to the point of diplomatic rupture, we must
envisage other m04710 of establishing and maintainlmg cow?
munications with Franee, both Occupied and Unoccupied,
through elandestine and underground obanne)n. The possi-
bility of eetting up und developing ouch communioationa
with the cooperation of the Preto Yronob 3pacia1 SrAtioaa
and othf4r undoreround groupn has boon closely glxamined and
we have mftdo contecte with reprenentativom of the Free
Irrench Barvioom in thin country and with other pernone
connected with undorgromnd reeietancie activitlea in Franco
). Two detailed project have been prepared in.
volving the following:
a. :Jetting up a kadto network in nevorl
nectorn in Fronee and Belgium tor the tr4nnt4inaion or
otrategic Information at the time a ln4ini in mndo on
the continent. The ammential feature of Wait projeet is
that the fretwork woul6 remmin dormant until combat oper-
ationn uotuully begin. Thia would innure obtaining rapidly
emaential military inrormation at the mont critical moment.
D. Nottlne, up an opertitioni home at Gibraltar
for the purpooe of maintaining underground oommunioatione
with Uouthwentern rrance and riorth Africa.
Yor the projecto to be carried out it
aential for un to be in a baranininv. ponition no that we
can offer a quid pro quo to Lila 'erne Yranch :iervicon or

certain materiel either to raollit4te the aotivitiob or
the Free rronah 4erv1ootat if live deoide to viork with them,
or to act to ingepeneent Nativitiea with July other group
or organization. The materiel which we munt be in n po.14

material from a special allotment within a relatively
short time
b. Making available to those who will osoper-
Ate with us both at the 7ag1an4 base or at Gibraltar, a
total of five or six vedettes capable of operating ta the
Channel under atverse weather conditions, or of covering
the considerable distances involved in the Gibraltar plan.
e. The problem of having available amall planes
for the transportation of personnel has also been raised,
but it is felt that this problem will have to be examined
more earefully before any request is presented.
5. One of our representatives is to leave shortly
for London to examine the possibilities of carrying out
these various projects, arrangements have been made for
him to discuss these projeets with the representatives of
the Free French Services and other groups in London. In
order for these conversations to lead t:d concrete results,
it is most important that this representative be prepared
to discuss the problem of material with the assurance that
we can carry out our part of any arrangement concluded.

DATES kuguat 5, 1942
FROM' Leen Dostert
TO; Major David K. Bruoe
SUBJECT; Extent of collaboration with the Free Franc*
The projeoto submitted for the development of uotivitles
in Franco indepondently of any diplomatio *gout in Viohy, em-
phaeize the importanoe of establishing close and praotical
collaboration with the Free French Speak' Services. Thin plan
should be oonstrued *a tentative until the representative of
the jestern European aeotion has had sn opportunity to examine
in London the feasibility and soundness ot this contemplated
oollaboration.
On the basis of information reoeived from various nouroes
it appears that the Free Prerieh Speoial Services have not al-
wayn proved as reliable and as effootive as the oiroumstsnoos
require. In examining the various possibilities for carrying
out these projeots and setting up these oommuniontion networks,
it was thought that we should first examine the possibility of
?loco oolloboration with the Free Frenoh Special Services. how-
ever, ti those Services do not work effectively or their dis-
cretion cannot be trusted, we must be prepared to carry out our
projects throu6h other connections with underground organIsa.
tions. We aro now in a position to establish oontaot with various
resistance groups independently of the Free French Special Services.
Furthermore, we have learned that in London we may be able to
make oonneetions with former members of the French Intelligenoe
Servioes who are not directly connected with tte H.Tie French
Speoial Services.
Should we &wide after examining the eituation that it
? would be best to prooeed without tying up with the Free French
Special Servicoa, we would have even greater nee6 of the materiel
mentioned in the projects for the trannvortstion of personnel
und the establishment or communietttiono, knd m4ht eine need the
ansiatanoo of Navy personnel. The neceocity for s prompt decision
on the question of policy In reference to the materiel needed
for implementinv, these projects would not, therefor be effected
by a later decision not to curry them out in oollehorativn with
the Free Yronoh Speiat Services. No matter whom we work with
in the realitation of those proi.)eib wt, w111 have to be adoured
of the meteriei needed to carry them out.

W.14`Z
The last progress report on Freneh Projeoto eibmitted late
in Jwae emphasised the difficulties eneountered in appointing a Chief
Agent for France under official cover, as a member of oar Bilbassy
staff in Viohya and the obstacles we had not in sending agents to On.
occupied France under unofficial cover through the refusal of the
French Authorities to grant visas to mash persons. Sine* that time
we have endeavored to overoome both of these obetaoles and to earry
forward various projects. Tb q following is a brief outline of our
plans for Frances
1. The problem of appo1ntin6 a Chief Agent under of-
tioial clover is on the point of being solved and latest reports indicate
that the A.N.A., who is to assume the direction of our activities in the
Un000upied Zone, will shortly obtain the necessary visas to proceed to
Lisbon. Thera ho will meet with it representativo of this branch who is
to acquaint him thoroughly with our contemplated proomm and plans in
France. It is expiated that this mectint, will take place in Liabom
about the middle of August and that shortly thereafter oar operations
in France will develop along more concrete lines.
2. The problem or obtaining visas from the U04y,
authorities for agents proceeding under unofficial cover rotas un-
solved. One agent, for whom. a definitely plausible and legitimate

1. Setting up an operational bane at Gibraltar which,
through the msdium of a network developed by an underground Franoh organi-

serious consideration loading to effective steps for its realisation,
2. Organising a radio network in Belgium and In three

find it most difficult, ir not actually impoasible, to con, 110
their activities when military operations begin. In short, any
active information network Which we may succeed in setting up
in the immediate future is likely to find its operations largely,
if not on.kirely, stopped at the very time when Information win
be most urgently needed.
II. OBJECTIVES
The present project involves the organization of a Radio
Network which would cover Belgium and r:orthern? Central and
Southern France, The essential feature of this project is that
once the operators have been recruited, traLned and located in
various communication cantors in these areas, they would rematn
dormant until landing operations begin.
The information to be [;athered and tranamItted by these
agents wolad be combat and traffic Information. The iranamission
wo?ad prosnmabl.; be made directly to a Neceivin,- Center set up
wItiA the Armed Forces and wo'ild, therefore, 1Joco:m3 L. .diatoly
available to the Headquarters Staff. This Network would thus
make it possible for our forces to obtain rapidly up-to-date, In-
formation on troops and materiel movement in the areas back of
the lines of operations.
III. GEOGRAPNIC SETUP

.31, Perhaps the greatest handicap under which es have
hitherto worked has bean our vIttually total dependance upon the
State Department, both for cover for our representatives and our
communications. This ham meant that our represeatatives and agents
have been under the primary control of the State Department and that
both they and the contents of their messages have been known to a
relatively large circle within thie Department, both horn and abroad.
The risk to their security and that of their informers and sub-Agents
is obvious. It has aeldom been poneible to complete an exchange
of cables with our agents in less than a week, even when the
officials of the Department have been disposed to tooperate to the
limit rendered posaible by their administrative regulations, which
has not always been the case.
The effective value of secret information secured in
the field varies in almost direct proportion to the reed tte
lecrecy, with which it can be transmitted to the point which 1.4 is to
be acted upon. In many caeca the tranemission of information which
might be of great value results in far mere harm than good if it is
transmitted by ineecure means or, in trahomieelon, becomes known
to parsons Jai-able of even unconscious indiscretion.
On the other hand, information obtained in one area may
be of great value to agents in other regions if received by them
promntly. It may be of little value i1 received only after the
lapse of the time required to transmit a. passage from the point
