Friday - 14 March 1952
1. Mr. Johnson, of PSB, called to state that PSB Director
Allen planned to talk to DCI regarding Mr. Berger, Special Assistant
to Mutual Security Director Harriman. PSB feels that Mr. Berger's
continuation on their panels as the MSA representative is intolerable
in view not only of his security breaches but also the manner in which
he had conducted himself. At Mr. Johnson's request I discussed with
Mr. Crawford, Chief Clerk of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,
the detailed preparation of the Committee staff memorandum entitled
"Manpower Provisions of Mutual Security Act of 1951", and find that
it was based on a written memorandum of Mr. Berger, from which
classified material had presumably been deleted by him. The initial
print, however, included certain of the classified information and was
completely destroyed. The print which was distributed still contained
certain classified information, as indicated in previous entries, and
is considered by PSB to be a serious security breach. Mr. Crawford
indicated that his suggestion had been the immediate recall of this issue
but Berger had not been willing to agree to that and desired to rewrite it.
