~" Friedr-..&n1 s inventions. 

2. Although the exact titles of Mr. Friedman1s positions 

varied from time to time, it is fair to say that all of bis 

inventions concerned in this matter were directly related to 

his Federal employment. 

.3. Since the inventions were made during the period from 

about 19.33 to 1942, when Pl.r. Friedman was a civilian employee 

in the Office of the Chief Signal Officer, documentary evidence 

in the nature of laboratory records, conference notes, and the 

like, if still available, should be among the files of that 

Office, notwithstanding the files covering the applications tor 

patent are in the custody of the National Security Agency. The 

official findings of the Signal Corps relative to the relations 

between Mr. Friedman's employment and his several inventio:ca 

are to be f'ound in the Signal Corps Patent Board minu:t.esi copies 

or which you haveo The findings (with the original evidence to 

the extent that it could be round) have been reviewed on several 

occasions by the Signal Corps and by your Office and have never 

been d~-A. f s-.: · \,,,,,:...__
