309. Memorandum From the Assistant Director for Policy Coordination, Central Intelligence Agency (Wisner) to the Chief of the Economic Cooperation Administration Mission in France (Bruce)0
[6 paragraphs (19 lines of source text) not declassified]
The Department of State has instructed Mr. Caffery to take up with the French Prime Minister the question of removing the ration on newsprint [Page 735] in France and making it freely available so that at least part of the pre-war large Paris information press could get going again. Mr. Caffery has not yet reported the results of his démarche, if any, to the French Prime Minister, but a telegram has gone forward to him in the last few days requesting him to please press the matter. If this is not successfully completed by the time you get back to Paris, I should be grateful if you would do what you can to press it.
