Thank you for your letter of 24 April con-
cerning the Central Intelligence Agencyts repre-
sentation at our appropriation hearings. You ask
if the Commerce Subcommittee desires your presence.
I can assure you that they do. As a matter of fact,
I telephoned the chairman of this Subcommittee
recently on this point, and it was upon his advice
that my earlier request was made.

THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
Lieutenant General C. P. Cabell, USAF
Deputy Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear General Cabell:
You will recollect your recent letter to me in which you
outlined the views of the Central Intelligence Agency concerning
our proposed Foreign Technical Information Center. Since then we
have presented a budget request to the House and Senate Appropria-
tions Committees and have had some preliminary discussion with the
House Subcommittee on Commerce appropriations in connection with
the general budget request of the Department. I regret to say that
the plan appears to be in jeopardy. A substantial part of our dif-
ficulty lies in a feeling by members of Congress that we are
attempting to "move in" or duplicate work which your agency is
performing or is prepared to perform.
I am confident that the two lines of effort are distinct
and that we can rely on the full cooperation of C.I.A. in distribu-
tion. However, our position would be greatly strengthened if a
responsible official of C.I.A. could attend our hearings and be
prepared to describe your mission and the limitations which do not
permit you to undertake national distribution. Naturally we do
not feel that we should call on you to support the precise details
of our plan. However, a general concurrence and an assurance that
it does not duplicate work which C.I.A. is prepared to encompass
would be most useful. May we look forward to your assistance?
Our hearing will be on Friday at 10:00 a.m. in the offices of the
House Appropriations Committee.

There will be two seats available for you and Mrs. Dulles on
the Commerce plane leaving Hangar 6 at the National Airport at
8:30 a. m. , D. S. T. , on Friday, May 9th, for Hot Springs.
I hope this will be convenient for you. It is my understanding
that you will arrange your own return transportation if you have to
leave on Saturday afternoon, which I hope will not be the case.
