Internal Memorandum Regarding Davidson and Colonel Crogan

This document is a communication, dated February 5, 1958, regarding an individual identified as Davidson. Davidson had previously sent an article to the Pentagon, which was subsequently forwarded to the agency without comment. The agency then passed this material to Colonel Crogan, the Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), with the assessment that no further action could be taken regarding the article. The core of the document is a directive to avoid any further business or contact with Davidson. The agency expresses a clear desire to distance itself from this individual, noting that he already possesses sufficient information and that providing him with additional names or addresses would serve no purpose. Furthermore, the agency fears that continued contact would only fuel further speculation. The document concludes with a firm instruction to avoid any future involvement with the matter, emphasizing that the primary goal is to protect the recipient's office from being 'off the hook' by ensuring no further engagement occurs.
