MEMORANDUM FOR:
As a cover for the attached memoranda I suggest, in
addition, an informal note to Colby from you, saying something
like the following:

I won't be here Tuesday for the Museum meeting, but

Dear Bill:
We had hoped to be able to come up with a specific
suggestion of someone who should head up the museum/
historical PTeServation effort which is discussed in
the attached somewhat more formal paper. The best
suggestion we've come up with for an historical
material czar is Hugh Cunningham, who seems to be
exactly the kind of senior officer who Mould pro-
vide the personal reassurance this program will
need that carefully guarded devices(particularly
those of the DDS&T and the DDP) won't rashly be
Tied just so they can be exhibited. Jack
talked to Hugh in these terms, and learned
hough Hugh would be interested he'll be
retiring soon and he's already overly involved in
other possible assignments dealing with history,
archives, and the larger issues of declassification.
I note a kinship between these topics, which in
turn interrelate to the problem at hand, the problem
of conserving important historical material and
declassifying and exhibiting it when these latter
actions are appropriate. I therefore hope that this
informal suggestion that Hugh be worked into the
historical material program as the man in charge can
be accommodated into any plans that are being made
for him.

If you generally agree with the approach we
have taken in the attached paper we will be glad to
make further recommendations about personnel, if
you want, although I feel that at this point recom-
mendations from the deputy directors, for which the
paper provides, would be more appropriate.
We are proceeding with the Cuban missile crisis exhibit,
timed for the 10th anniversary of the crisis, but will turn
it over to an historical material commission of one is formed.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Plans
Deputy Director for Intelligence
Deputy Director for Science & Technology
Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT: CIA Intelligence Museum
1. The Executive Director has asked me to take the
leadership in exploring the possibilities in developing a
CIA Intelligence Museum. He has agreed as a first step to
utilize the display cases now in Corridor 1 D of Headquarters
which we would move to Corridor 1 A. For our thinking pur-
poses this settles where it is and the size of the objects.
(The working measurements of a case are 15x58", two of which
have an inside height of 15", and two with an inside height
of 31".) These cases can be locked.
2. Any objects displayed will have to be either de-
classified or declassifiable. We must assume that the un-
cleared public will be seeing these materials, whatever
they may be.
3. Within the above parameters I am inviting the ad-
dressees to give consideration to those objects involved in
an intelligence activity of some importance and general
interest within their purview which might be considered for
the museum. STATINTL
4. With this introduction, and given some time tcTATINTL
consider the matter, I wn>ld like to invite
Lundahl, and others whom you ma
the steering group composed of Messrs.
Pforzheimer, and myself for a discussion of thcTATINTL
possibilitie luseum. I propose such a, meeting on
1 June at 10:00 a.m. in Room 6 E .BO. Headauar rs Building.
