1. Mr. Rudolph h'foz of the New York City Youth Boarcl.
is preparing recommendatioafor Mayor Wagner in the field of
.narcotics control. He stated that one proposal he had under
consideration was to recommend Federal legislation giving the
Central intelligence Agency the specific responsibility for
obtaining information on poppy growing, the opium trade, and
other aspects of the whole narcotics problem.
2. I explained to Mr. Moz that while we and the other
intelligence agencies did cooperate with the Bureau of Narcotics,
Department of the Treasury, legislation such as was considered
would be incompatible with the present concept of the intelligence
system. Mr. Moz said he trusted that any information developed
in the narcotics field would find its way not only to the U. S.
authorities but to the United Nations for international control
action. I said this would be handled by the appropriate U. S.
representatives in the United Nations and that they would be
responsible for furnishing narcotics information to the United
Nationd authorities. I said if any recommendation in this field
were made it might be merely to stress the need for obtaining
information in the fields in which he was interested, and Mr. Moz
seemed to think this was a course he would follow. :resurnably,
therefore, the recommendations to Mayor Wagner. will include
