Memorandum for Record: FCDA Meeting
AI-Generated Summary
This memorandum records the scheduling logistics for a 1953 meeting between OSI representatives and the FCDA. It confirms the involvement of Dr. H. P. Robertson, the Chairman of the Robertson Panel.
This memorandum, dated 23 April 1953, documents a coordination effort regarding a meeting with the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA). Philip G. Strong, Acting Deputy Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, records a conversation with Ted Babbitt concerning a meeting proposed in a letter from Governor Val Peterson. The parties agreed that Babbitt would explore the possibility of scheduling the meeting for 30 April. Strong informed Babbitt that Mr. Clark would represent the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) at the meeting, accompanied by Dr. H. P. Robertson, who served as Chairman of the Panel. Strong further suggested that if Governor Peterson were to attend, the meeting should be held in the Governor's office, but if a designee were sent, it would be more appropriate to hold the meeting at the OSI offices. Babbitt was expected to provide an answer regarding these arrangements later that day.
I told him that Mr. Clark would represent OSI, and would be accompanied by Dr. H. P. Robertson, who served as Chairman of the Panel.
