31 January 1949
1. A recent review by this office of the courier work being carried
on by the CIA .tail and Courier Section indicates that the quantity of work
has been mounting rapidly during the past six to eight months. Some of
this is reflected in the memorandum to Executive, A & M, dated 14 December
1948, from EAD/OCD, subject: Requested revision of the CIA Mail and Courier
Section, OCD, Table of Organization. However, the establishment of the new
OPC and the new OSI has raised the number of operating offices from four to
six making more points for pickup and dissemination of classified material.
2. Also, the amount of classified material which must be handled
daily between CIA and the other intelligence agencies by courier has
reached a staggering load. As one example, the last Pickup to the
Pentagon Building, which a year ago took one courier one-half an hour
and never amounted to more than a couple of brief cases or one small
sack, now runs around three large sacks full of material, and requires
two couriers almost an hour to pickup and reroute after returning to CIA.
The greatest need, however, is in handling the Top Secret problems of OPC
and SO. Here too, there is a growing demand for special couriers particu-
larly during the last three hours of the day.
3. Even by clearing one or two of the Secret Couriers for T.S. and
pulling them off of their regular classified mail runs to handle the
special requests of the Agency, it has not been possible to render the
fullest service requested by members of the Agency.
4. It is, therefore, requested that one additional Top Secret
Courier (CAF-5) and one additional Secret Courier (CAF-!t) be assigned to
OCD, in order to provide adequate service.for CIA operations.
