Consequently, it is most respectfully suggested that
the generic idea of the establi shment and maintence of a
permanent Bureau of Strategic Research and Development
be given prompt consideration, thus enabling the U.S.A.
to be and to keep abreast of, in fact in the vanguard of,
international trends, strategically.
FUNCTION
This suggested Bureau of Strategic Research and
Development during peace time would serve as an advisory
and coordinating group pertaining to all matters of stra-
tegic planning deemed of interest to the President of
the United States and/or of the Special Congressional
Committee.
MODUS OPERANDI
The Bureau would provide the President of the U.S.A.
and/or the Special Congressional Committee with strategic
information, plans, reports, reviews, and recommendations
for consideration and if and when approved these various
suggestions would then be executed through established
or authorized channels.
The primary objective of thi S Bureau is to insure
that all matters of strategic importance to the National
welfare are constantly maintained, also that these fact-
ors are coordinated and available in usable form, as and
when deemed expedient.
