Memorandum for The President:
It is my understandin that Mr. Acheson sent
you a memorandum dated August 30, on the subject, "Interim
Exploitation of German and Austrian Specialists in the
United States", recommending approval of the policy decided
on by State, War and Navy.
I believe that it would be most advantageous to
have the policy approved. Approval will be of benefit in
two ways: first, in negotiating extensions for German and
Austrian specialists already in the United States, the fact
being that some of these contracts expire this month and we
are having no success in negotiating extensions in the ab-
sence of an approved policy; and second, further procure-
ment of these specialists from Europe for utilization in
this country will be reatly impeded unless prompt action
can be taken. For these reasons, I hope that you can see
your way clear to advise the State Department of your
approval.
