The funds for operation of the Special Intelligence
Service throughout the Western Hemisphere by this Bureau will
expire, as you are aware, on June 30, 19116. In view of the lack
of additional funds for operations during the next fiscal year,
I find it necessary to snake immediate plans for ceasing operations
in the foreign field as of June 30, 19L6. It is necessary that we
start withdrawing our personnel from the foreign field in the near
future in ceder that all personnel will be returned to the United
States and all operations may cease by that date.

Sincerely yours,

It has come to ey attention that a three million dollar
it.. in the Federal Dureau of Investigation appropriation for the
coming year has been eliminated because the Congressional Cositittes
believed that it did not meet with your desire that the Federal
Dureau of Investigation engage in activities beyond the continental
limits. a
It is of the utmost urgency that the Federal Bureau of
Investigation be permitted to continue its security fiaaoticas whose
ramifications extend into foreign areas. At the present ties the
Federal Bureau of Investigation has representatives la the countries
of the Western l{emisphere, in London, Paria, Rome, Kenila, Toigo,
and in the American Zone in Germany.
The security mission which it performs may bo 1Llr/tf'ated
l1/ the Canadian investigation in ottaus which reaches JA 1110 t 4,F-
United States as will as mtgland. They are engaged in ether t .
vestigations which reach from South American ooustries into 8urope.
It is difficult for them to begin these matters at the continental
borders but essential that they should initiate their investiga-
tions at the sources from which the activities emanate.
Approv&l is requested for the continuance of this function.

letter of January 22, 1946. It is wq understanding that the National
Intelligence Authority is being given authority in the Directive to call
upon the State, War, and Navy Department to assign from time to time
persons and facilities of their respective departments to work under the
direction of the Director of Central Intelligence.
As stated in rrgr ,,revious letter, if this Directive is approved,
it would appear tonne thore would be no reason why the Federal Bureau of

Mr. J. Zdgar Hoover
Direetce

Washington, D. C.
I deegr appreciate your cooperation in expressing approval
of q proposed N.I.I. Directive in your letter of 2 July.
With reference to your comments on the statement contained
in the Discussion to Z.I.L. ,t, you will note that it was amended to
read as follows t
"This does not, of o0urset preclude the use of specialised
departmental personnel under rigid oeitral control.. as wtu-
allr sib to by the Director of Central,Int?llicen.. and
authorised departmental officials."
This ansadsd version was intended to clarify the, meaning of the sentence
in vies of the point which you raised in your letter of 25 June. It is
q intention to ..p2a in the operation in question the beet qualified
per.emesl frau all possible seems. It is therefore entirely oonoeiv-
able that I would like to use on specific missions specially qualified
parsennsl of Corsrmsent departments other than State, War and Navy. I
realise, hors.., that aep such arrangement would have to be agreed to
by the r.sp.ssible officials of those departments, as indicated in the
above amended - %once. I hope that this amendment clarifies the mean-
ing to your satisfaction.
With reference to the second paragraph of your letter of
2 JJuly ulyr Ia very pleased to concur in your offer to withdraw from
1 South America provided you are willing to postpone with-
drawal until the Central Intelligence Group is adequately organised
and staffed so that we may arrange an orderly transfer with a minimum
of interruption. As evidenced by H.I.A. support for your 1947 budget
for this activity, it is antleipated that this will involve continued
coverage of that area by you for the better part of !hat fiscal year.

BY SPECIAL MESSENGER
Lieutenant General Hoyt S. Vandenberg
Central Intelligence Croup
Dear General Vandenberg:
I am in receipt of your letter of July 3, 1946, concerning
the proposed NIA Directive Number 4, which related to, among other
things, the empowering of CIG to set up a field operational force
for the purpose of effectuating world-wide secret intelligence
coverage. I have noted your oomment?regarding discussing with me
the possibility of your utilising the services of some of the FBI
experienced personnel. Although I an, of course, most anxious to
cooperate with you to the fullest possible extent, I regret to advise'
you that due to the responsibilities and duties of the Bureau in
the field of law enforcement and the commitments made for the Bureau's
personnel, which personnel incidentally has been out considerably
since the war, I will not be able to assign personnel to you.
I wanted to advise you of this fact promptly in order that you will
not depend upon me or expect this Bureau to make personnel available
to you.
Concerning your reference to the support of the NIA for the
Bureau's 1947 budget requirements for its Central and South American
operations, I wish to observe that these funds were sought prior to
the time that any plane had been made to establish an Operations Unit
under the National Intelligence Authority. If r had known that the
National Intelligence Authority contemplated the establiahment at
this time of an Operations Unit for the purpose of maintaining secret
intelligence coverage, I would not have planned to have the Bureau
remain active in this ,field in the Western hemisphere.
In the light of your acquiescence to the Bureau's
withdrawing from Central and South America, I believe it would be
well to work out immediately an acceptable program which will permit

a transfer of the responsibilities for intelligence coverage in the
Central and South American countries, on an orderly basis. If you
will furnish to me a general outline of the program which you intend
to follow in taking over the intelligence responsibilities in the
Central and South American countries, I will prepare an appropriate
schedule for the discontinuance of the Bureaus activities on a
parallel basis in order that there will be no conflict of interest
or duplication of coverage.
With best wishes and kind regards,

Subject: Transfer of Secret Intelligence 2unetions in Latin

With reference to our conference today 1 wis.i to leave
the following points for development as the general basis for
this transfo.r:
1. tJe wish to receive from you a _;eneral outline of
existing F3I covora"e, .including the number of person-el and the
capacities or titles under which they are assigned.
2. We request that in each field station copies of all
pertinent reports of lnvesti,;ations current or closed be set aside
to be turned over to our representative; and that, in WVashin ton
a copy of all such reports prepared by FBI from these torritorios
be made available to us for our records.
3. ."e request that all office and technical equipment
now held in field stations be marked for transfer to our repre-
sentative on the withdrawal of FBI, and that an inventory of
such equipment be now prepared for our review. Such list would
include office furniture and fixtures, typewriters, filing
cabinets, and photographic equipment for development and printin..
It would be understood that sovernmental records would reflect
this transf^r, reliving FBI of further responsibility for this
Sovernraent property.
4. We request that radio corutunIcations eqa' 7r.:zont _n
field stations be preserved for transfer to our representative
in the same manner as in the preeedinC ;,ara :raph. We request
further that automobiles now 'n the field be Made available for

The Department riust consider the relationship which has
been built up betweo,n the Civil and Legal Attaches` offices and
the police and intolli,ence organizations In the Americas. These
relations should be maintained and widened since they are to our
advantage.
The present system of corm unieation should be preservooa.

Recommendation:
It is su,~,_-ested that General Vandenberg be approached
relative to any plans which CI1 has as regards assuming; irimeGiato
coverage in the American ;republics.
If there is no possibility of continuing the ;,resent ?31
coverage which, from the Department+s standpoint and that of the
various missions, would be most advantageous, then we should
request General Vandenber to arrange for us to moot with his CI!~
representatives and representatives from the _-3I in order to discuss
the over-all problem and to formulate a plan for the orderly
transition in any change v,} ich mi ht occur.

Subject: Conference at Federal Bureau of Investi'ation,
18 July 1946
1. There follows a suLimary of the subjects and aUreements
covered in a conversation held this date by representatives of
the CIG and the FBI on the subject of the transfer of responsi-
bility for intelligence coverage in Latin America. CIC was
represented by Colonel Galloway,
and FBI represent a ves present were T
.
Tatum, 1,'.r. Ladd, and his Assistant.
2. The general problem and the points of vie-w-afthe
two agencies concerned were discussed by all representatives.
The CIG expressed the followin; estimate of the situation:
a.That CIG was desirous of taking over the intelligence
coverage in Latin America at the'oarliest possible date;
that beginning from scratch it would take a reasonable
length of time to recruit, train and introduce competent
personnel and proper facilities; that the job would be
made much easier if CIG were able to capitalize on the
accomplishments and assets of the FBI and could count on
the cooperation and assistance of FBI in taking over and
carrying on the work now in pro,;ress. It was felt by CIG
that the transfer of responsibility should be a coordinated
undertaking in order to avoid lapses in operations and to
assure continuity in intelligence production. In order to
imnlement such a coordinated plan the operational desks of
CIG and FBI would necessarily work closely together. Colonel
'lalloway expressed some apprehension at the withdrawal of
7-:3I personnel without consultation and aoroement by CIG, and
requested that the withdrawal of Personnel from
be reconsidered, was agrees that this request would be conveyed to the Director,
FBI. CIq represe:tatives stressed the point that it was to
the cojnnon advantar'o of both a encies to transfer to all
its assets that could be transferred on the Ground. (See
attached meno). To this proposition the :'B1 agreed but stated
that few if any roprosontativos of 'B1 could be spared by the
3ureau and in the ovcnt of a transfer of radic equii:nent, T
would so far as poisiblis rocoiva a coiiparablo a:nou.nt of such
material in the TTntto 1 :'.tatos for their own activities.

3. I::r. Tai r expressed several times the general attitude
of the Director of the Mr. Hoover. Ile stated i,;r. -ioove-
felt that if the 231 were to get out of Latin America it should
got out as quickly and as expeditiously as possible. This point
of view was appreciated by the representatives of CIJ who in-
sisted,howover, that F3I coordinate its withdrawal with the CI-,
entrance so that continuity night be preserved. Mr. Tatum agreed
that F13I should not withdraw from a given area without consulta-
tion and agreement by CIG.
4. The conference resulted in the following arrangements.
The 173I will appoint a working committee which will meet with a
working corunittee designated by CIG. This joint committee will
dertermine the MI assets in Latin America and what part of the
may be transferred to the CIfi, the desires and plans of FBI
cove-,ring the withdrawal of their personn,,-_ and facilities. Bas d
upon the work of these two corLmitteec the Operations Branch will,
draw up a detailed plan for taking ove_ the secret intelligence
coverage in Latin America. After the approval of this plan by
the Director of CIG, it will then be submitted to the Director
of FBI for his inforri tio?i and consideration. After agreement
by the two-a::oncios this Man will be the guide for a coordinated

in Waohin;;ton, prepared by the ^4I, would be of the ;reatest
value to CIG. It was agreed that field reports world be
turned over to my reprosentatives. I an oo:-fident that
specific reports in your .. t shington office will be made
available to me whenever we co:raider it necessary. Our
field officers should also be acquainted by your special
agents with local coiitacta and sources of information which
you have developed, and arrangements worked out for possible
further utilization of these persons. Your advice on the
handling of such informants, and safeguards against untrust-
worthy individuals, will be greatly appreciated. It is
understood that these details are agreeable to you
Administrative facilities now existing in the
field will be of considerable advantage to the continuance
of operations. I refer to office furniture and equipment,
vehicles, radio communication apparatus, and the like. To
replace such equipment would entail delay which would be
difficult to justify. It is understood that such a.transfer
is agreeable to you except in the case of photographic equip-
ment, and I concur in your retention of this apparatus. I
Will also arrange replacement in kind locally for the radio
communication apparatus which you will leave in the various
stations, as agreed upon.
With regard to your letter of July 15, 1G48, I
re uest that you reconsider the withdrawal of your personnel
in It would be most
unfortunate to leave these posts vacant even for a short time.
I am sure or reprasentattvee can devise an early relief for
these particular posts and I am confident you will agree to
this.
In outlining the general policies and agreements
herein I have stressed the principle of orderly withdrawal
without hiatus, bearing in mind our several responsibilities
to the Government in this important work. You and your
representatives have boon most cooperative and I desire to
express my sincere appreciation.

You will recall that I recently decided to close our
liaison office because of the restricted jurisdiction under which we
operated there. This closing was temporarily held in abeyance at the
request of the State Department to determine whether a new working
arrangement might be effected. Since this has not been possible, I
have now issued instructions that the office be closed immediately.
In view of the plans presently being worked out calling
for Central Intelligence Group units to replace our personnel in
Latin America, I thought it advisable to inform you of this closing,
although unlike our other offices in Latin America, our personnel in
Panama performed only limited functions and I don't know whether you
consider it necessary tj replaco them.

I refer to your letter of July 22, 1946, concerning the working
out of a program for the transfer of secret intelligence responsibilities
in Latin America to the Central Intelligence Group. L' representatives,
of course, are i.n touch with lr. Penrose, Mr. Leddy, and '.r. Doyle, who
have been designated to represent you in connecticn with the details con-
cerned in the various matters mentioned by you in your letter. They will
undoubtedly be able to make satiafactory arrangements with reference to
these matters.
rBI personnel in
was informed I must advise that the arrangements for closing the FBI Offices
in these countries have already pro;;ressed to the stage where it is not
practical or possible for us to continue beyond August 16, 1946. You will
note that there is only one man stationea in each of these offices and, there?'or*,
it will undoubtedly be po;+si.ble for you to rake some arrangement, to take over
in these countries as of that date.
I am sure you will ai:roe that the transfer of jurisdiction and
respcnsibility will be ;,reatly f-tcilitatcd if the ^':i; will furnish a plan
to me at a very early date setting- forth the irtentions of the "antral rn-
