Office Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO sst. to the DCI DATE: 16 January 1958
FROM : Chief, WE/3
SUBJECT: Appeal for funds to the DCI from Exil et Liberte
1. Subject organization has an impressive list of names on its
letterhead, but it is of little influence. The DCI was informed in a
memorandum from Chief, 10, dated 16 April 1957 concerning the same
subject, that the organization was receiving $100 per month from the
Free Europe Committee. A recent communication from Paris indicates
that the Free Europe Committee will terminate this subsidy sometime
in January 1958, since it does not consider the organization even
worth this nominal sum.
2. In view of the above it is recommended that DCI not
acknowledge the letter from Exil etg Liberte . Since the communication
is a form letter, sent to many individuals, there is no reason for
an answer. The same recommendation was made to DCI in the
16 April 1957 memorandum cited above.

The International of liberty must go beyond the stare. of its
