Commission on Organisation

Executive Branch of the Government
Task Force on Intelligence Activities
General Accounting
Office Building
Washington 25, D.C.
20 January 1955
Mr. Allen W. Dulles.
Director of Central Intelligence,
Central Intelligence Agency,
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Dulles:
General Mark W. Clark has asked me to convey to you the follow-
ing request for clearance of individual Members of this Task Force
and its staff:
Dlr. Henry Kearns (Member of the Task Force)
Colonel Charles C. Blakeney, U.S. Army, Retired,
(Staff Member)
These two men are members of a group of three that the Task
Force is sending to observe activities of an intelligence nature
In the Pacific Ocean area. It is requested that they be cleared to
receive information concerning and to have access to CIA activities,
both overt and covert. The departure date for this group is tentatively
scheduled on or about 5 February 1955.
General Clark also stated that he desires the same clearance for
all other Members of the Task Force and for Major General James G.
Christiansen, U.S. Army, Retired. Such clearance is needed by the
Task Force Members because in their consideration of the problem con-
fronting thorn, it is essential that they consider all the facts in ar-
riving at any conclusions or recommendations they may desire to make to
the Hoover Commission. If this is not done, a fully considered report
is impossible.
The clearance is needed for Major General Christiansen, Staff
Director of the Task Force, in order that he may assist in preparation
of all phases of the report of the Task Force.
/5/
Sincerely.
J. O. Chrtstiansen
Staff Director
