The intelligence files of SSU naturally relate mainly to the Axis problem. They
include carded information on individuals and organisations (deriving from British
and Allied sources and from X-2 experience); studies and reports made by sX and X-2
personnel; cables and other coxraunications of information; lists of j a of foreign
agents and suspects in the subversive field in foreign countries, and the like. Studies
have also been made, and are being made, of such current problems as soviet infiltration
and regional political activities. The operational files include rosters of former
employees of 0SS here and abroad, with personnel and biographical data that may be use-
ful for future recruitment and investigation.
While the Committee was not authorized by CIO Directive No. 1 to conduct an exam-
ination into the Research and Analysis end Presentation Branches of 088 transferred to
the State Department, the Committee deems it desirable to note that the files of those
branches bear an importnat relation to the usefulness and value of the Files of SSU.
This fact arises from two causes; (1) During the existence of OS8 R&A was closely
geared to the secret intelligence branches as their chief customer and their chief guide
in the selection and pursuit of secret intelligence targets and the evaluation of secret
intelligence informations the total of O8S information in this respect is, therefore,
the sues of the files of SSU and of the files of RU, at least as of 06tober .1, 1945s

The co aittee notes further that files of other branches, now dissolved, of 0SS
including especially personnel rosters and reports on experience in clandestine
operations are i.rtant and should be considered as among the valuable assets of SSU.
