SUBJECT: Dulles Papers
1. In moving toward a final disposition of the Dulles
papers, I invited Commanding Officer of
OSS, to examine that portion of the Dulles papers dealing with
his OSS activities.
2, following a cursory examination of the
papers, in icatec t at they mainly contain notes and backup data
which appears to have been used for the basis of formal communi-
cations to OSS headquarters. After some discussion, we agreed
that it would be advisable to keep the Dulles papers in tact for
a period of at least three years and then consider breaking away
the OSS portion for permanent retention with the OSS files. The
advantage of this concept lies in the fact that if any question
as to the contents of the Dulles papers arises it will probably
occur during that period. The resolution of such questions might
be simplified if such a course is followed.
3. I asked if our forwarding the Dulles papers
to the CIA Records Repository at
would meet with his approval. He stated that it would particularly
because many of the OSS documents are presently retained there.
