UNITED STATES DISARMAMENT ADMINISTRATION
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON 25, D.C.
11961
I am enclosing a copy of a letter from Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey to the Secretary of State in which
the Senator requests an updating of the compilation of
research projects on disarmament and arms control that
was prepared for him last year. The Secretary and
Mr. John J. McCloy, the Adviser to the President on
Disarmament, to whom Senator Humphrey also wrote, have
informed him that the U. S. Disarmament Administration
is contacting other departments and agencies with a
responsibility in this field and will submit a co-
ordinated response to his request.
The Senator's letter, I believe, clearly states
the kind of information he desires. However, I would
like to invite your attention to the fact that the
Senator wishes to have information regarding projects
in progress as well as those that have been completed.
Since he presumably desires that the information be
supplied promptly, I would greatly appreciate your
forwarding to me as soon as feasible relevant data on
projects of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Sincerely yours,
Edmund A. Gullion
Deputy Director

Committee on Foreign Relations
June 13, 1961
The Honorable Dean Rusk
Secretary of State
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Secretary:
Last year, in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Disarmament,
Committee on Foreign Relations, I requested from the Executive Branch a des-
cription of all research projects connected with the problem of arms control
and disarmament.
Accordingly, the Department of State acted as the coordinator for the
Executive Branch and submitted to the Subcommittee on Disarmament, an interesting
and useful compilation of studies.
The purpose of this letter is to request that: (a) the Executive Branch
bring the previous compilation up to date and (b) it indicate which parts of
the compilation are unclassified and, which, therefore, may be officially
polished.
I am also writing to Mr. McCloy regarding this request, since I assume he
would be involved in developing the information.
Copies of this letter are being sent as well for information purposes to
Secretary of Defense McNamara and Chairman Seaborg of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
May I suggest that the following types of information be included for each
project: -
- Name of sponsoring Federal agency or agencies
- Person in Agency in charge of project or private institution or company
responsible
- Amount and term of support
- Date of approval of project
- Estimated date of completion
- A brief summary of the project

 Approved For Release 2003/05/29 : CIA-RDP80B01676R000800090009-8
Any additional explanatory data which may be necessary should be provided.
In addition, I would appreciate overall statistical summaries and analyses
by major categories of the classified and non-classified data.
Finally, let me note this fact, by way of background: - in another capacity,
as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Reorganization and International Organizations
of the Committee on Government Operations, I have reported on behalf of my
associates (S. Report 263, 87th Congress) that it is essential, as a matter of
policy, for the Legislative and Executive Branches to possess comprehensive and
current "pictures" of diverse research and development work which is still in
process - and not merely on studies which have been completed and which have
been published.
HHH/f
I want to thank you for your help in making the data available.
Sincerely,
Hubert H. Humphrey
Chairman, Subcommittee on Disarmament

Honorable Robert S. McNamara
