1. One of the candidates tor membership on AFSA 

Scientific Adviso:ey Board is Prof. Marshall H. Stone,, 

Chairnan,, Department of Mathema.tlcs,, University of 

Chicago. He is Consultant to wsm. 

2. AFSA-16 on::e indicated that there were clearance problems in his case and recommended against 

clearing him tor OOMDlT. Since then we have learned 

the clearance problems have been clarified so far as 

wsm is concemed but AFSA-16 wants a waiver from you 

in Stone• s case if he is to receive a comlnt clearanc 

3. I think Prof. Stone could make important 

contributions to the new Board.1 s work,, especiilly on 

an individual basis as consultant. 

4. Recommend you grant a waiver unless AFSA-16 c 

convince you it is not warranted or advisable.

operating 41v1s1ona. I tind'th&t Mr. Rovl•t~ teela that all.

cogni&anee of c~rent erypt&nalytie problema. ·r turtber t1nd 

that he ·1a inclined to favor the idea.of ea.ploying Dr. Stone 

on the l:*aia proposed tor a minimum period ot three montha. 

On the other·" b.1.nd, I find Dr. ltullb&ck and Dr. 51nkov even 

leas 1S&ngu1ne tb&n 7ou were 1n1t14lly about the result• or 

e.dvantagea ... to be expected from part-ti.a• empl!)J'Jll•nt ot Dr. 

Stone,.•1ther on· a contractual basis for conaulting aervicea 

or on a PW.AB be.sis. They teel tb&t better reaulta would . accrue to the.ASA and the Government •• a Vhole it ve could 

take the money that 1t·1s probabl7 going to coat to engag& in 

thia ventlU'e with Dr. Stone and uae it instead to employ one o~ two.competent young 1cientist• on & regular, full-time. - baa1a. '?o a large extent I abare the latter point ot v1,ew 

but, if you will recall m1·r1rot reaction to thia queat1on, I 

urged e~rioua consideration be given ·to tl')'ing Dr. Stone out 

as a cona~ltf.nt,· t.or I do not cloae my mind to the poes1b111t7 

th&t a JOElli ot Stone 'a me:o.tal stature might ~n a short time and 

with a freah&pproaoh develop aometh1'18 nev, uaetul, or even 

startling in the field. Some people b&ve entertained.the 

idea that & Jisa.n Who haa m&de bis mark prOf88ll!Onall7 in 80118 

field or knowledge or vho abova brilliance therein 11 1pao facto qualitied t,o do e2cellent work in the field of cr7pt- anal1111. Soae ot our experience 9ontrad1cta this idea, but 

here 1a a· good· cb&nee t.o tr7 the experiaent under t&Yorable 

conditions and to observe vh&t bappeaa. Such an experi••nt should then attord a uaetul basis to~ tutur• cona1derat1ona
