152fORMI:11 FOR ADEIRAL SCHUIRMANIT.
Subject: Document Research.
1. I have forwarded to you today a memorandum requesting
certain officer and enlisted personnel from the Navy for research
work on air documents, pursuant to the agreement between the Service
members of the Joint Intelligence Committee approved by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff on 2 August 1944. In making this request I was
cognizant of the problems confronting you in connection with Japanese
linguists.
2. The parpose of this memorandum is to request your aggreement
to the establishment at Camp nitchie of a Joint Army-Navy documemt
research set up to handle all documents from all Theaters opposing
the Japanese. We arc confronted with a situation where best use
must be made of the limited personnel available qualified for
Japanese document rork. By pooling our translators and establishing
the activity at Ritchie, where we are free of the restrictions imposed
on personnel in the District, we can make the most effective use of
our resources. I gathered from our conversation of a few days ago that
you would favorably consider such an arrangement. y document section
at Ritchie is functioning and is being expanded.
3. I would greatly appreciate your concurrence or comment on this
proposal at the earliest practicable date.
