The documents were among the personal papers of Averell Harriman and Generals Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Harold "Hap" Arnold, and Carl Spaatz. One particularly interesting document, dated 4 May 1948, is entitled "Penetration and Compromise of OSS in Switzerland and Western Europe (Allan (sic) Dulles)." Also among these papers were four folders of OSS field reports on WW II bomb damage in Germany and on the German order of battle. CRD is coordinating its classification review with the Directorate of Operations and will inform the Library of Congress of the findings. 2. The Information and Privacy Division (IPD) sponsored and conducted its first Freedom of Information Act Seminar for FOIA personnel throughout the Agency.

Two representatives of CRD visited the manuscript Division at the Library of Congress to review the classification status of a number of documents containing information of interest to CIA. The primary purpose of the visit was to review a document from the personal papers fo Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg titled "Penetration and Compromise of OSS in Switzerland and Western Europe (Allan (sic) Dulles)," dated 4 May 1948. This document was judged by CRD to contain information that remains classified and a copy was brought back and review of the document is now being coordinated with the DO. While at the Library the CRD representatives also reviewed about 20 documents of CIA interest that had been found in the personal papers of Averell Harriman, Gen. Harold "Hap" Arnold, and Gen. Carl Spaatz. Almost all of these documents remain classified because of information on intelligence sources and methods. Amongst the papers, however, there were four folders filled with OSS field reports on bomb damage in Germany and on German Army order of battle. These reports could be declassified. We will advise the Library of Congress on the results of the review we are coordinating with the DO. Should requests be made for the other documents that we judged were still classified, those documents will be processed through NARA which normally handles declassification reviews for the Library.
