absolved of responsibility for biographic data on foreign
tific personalities reeceiv ,byjthem from other a ncies0
received by t hem on war Department orM6tate par ent forms . )

methods, all such d;:"ta received; and would incorporate the
actual abstracts in its files*
Go Participating aencies would therolafter call upon the
Biographical Intelligence 'Regist.er, C. I. A?, for biographic data
on foreign se;ie tic personalities (just as all now call upon
the War Department r data on foreign military personalities,
andupon the Navy Department for data on foreign naval person-
alities and upon St-ate for political persena.ities ).
It is thought that this might be a... practical step of advantage to
