Memorandum for Assistant to the Director regarding Leon Davidson letter to the FBI

This document consists of a memorandum dated 8 May 1957 and a corresponding letter addressed to Dr. Leon Davidson of White Plains, New York. The memorandum, written by the Assistant to the Director of the FBI, outlines the administrative handling of an inquiry made by Dr. Davidson in a letter dated 21 April 1957, which was addressed to Mr. Dulles. The FBI internal memorandum notes that the agency had ascertained that the 'recording in question' mentioned by Dr. Davidson had been forwarded to GSI and was determined to be three coils of US origin. Arrangements were made with ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Center) to send a letter to Dr. Davidson explaining that the intelligence community had analyzed the recording and found it to be of US origin. The final letter, signed by J. Arnold Shaw, Assistant to the Director, formally responds to Dr. Davidson, referencing his April letter and informing him that the intelligence community had analyzed the recording and that he would receive further communication from the Air Force regarding the nature of the recording.
