362. Letter From Allen W. Dulles to Robert Blum of the Office of the Secretary of Defense0

New York, February 8, 1949.

Dear Bob: Many thanks for your letter of 7 February 1949.1 I agree that we should take no further action with respect to the matter of handling the report until we have further details. If the position of General Irwin, Park Armstrong, etc. is accepted, there would certainly be no reason for us to raise our voice on the subject.

I enclose for your files signed receipt from Matt Correa for copy No. 21 and I enclose my own receipt for copy No. 22.

Also enclosed is a copy of a letter2 I just received from Justice Jackson with regard to Gisevius. It is possible that he may call on you as I gave him your room and telephone number in the Pentagon.

With best regards.

Sincerely,

A.W. Dulles 3
