I made ~nquir.r ot the HeadqUarters ," Al'fllT Security AgeD.CT as 

to whether thq. could take 7011 on· for a couple ot weeks of actin · 

duty but 1ias told that even it you -were in the ArmT Security 

Agency Reserve the7 couldn•t do it. One ot ··associates who ia 

a major in that branch and whose active duty services were much 

needed for a special maneuvers job had a ditticult time getting 

the tour, even with ASA backiDg •. · Thq told me it would be no use . tor you to tr.v at. ASA. · · ',. 

In IJT last letter i suggestect. that 70Q: write to G-2,. the

han al.read7 done so; but it 70U _haven •t I repeat the suggestion,. 

8ddressing7our letter to the Resene·Components Branch of G-2. 

I wis'h I could be of more ~elp to 10lJ bu1' c·an· onq recommend 

that 70u not spend ant JllODeJ' on ccming down here. '!he restriction of tours of acti~ dutf' to officers who hold. mobilisation 

assigments applies prettJ' genera.lq~ I 1iDagine that 7ou·have

Dear C@lonel Friedman: 

' 

30 July 1951 

It wae a disappointment to hear from you that the Secnrity 

Agency has probably no room, since Colonel DePass bas suggested that 

outfit as a possibility. As he e:xplains it, the Budg-et Bureau has 

restricted tours of active duty to officers ~ho bold G-2 cobilization 

assignments--all filled in cr:1 grade. This, it seems, does not apply 

to the Security Agency. 

I adlilit complete ignorance of what the Agency's activities 

include, wt I have done a variety of chores that I ioagine might fit 

in, and it would be interesting work, I ao sure, if I could get in for 

a. couple of weeks or so. sometime between 10 August and 15 Septe~ber. 

Besides, even if nothing !i:Ore should develop, I need four OJre points to 

complete a satisfactory "Y"ear (anniversary date 19 October). 

Anyway, I thought it worth a staop. -~ could ru.n down to see 

whoever is concerned, any day after this week. 

Yours cordially, 

Henry Dexter Les rned.

Cll:PARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE& 5 June 1951 

Dear Colonel Friedman: 

As the years roll around another decsde, and war clouds roll in with 

them, I wonder again whether the crypto outfit could use me, temporarily 

(say a two-weeks active duty assignment for training, to brush up) or even 

on an extended active duty basis. I am back: in the A?'II\Y, where I belonged 

all the time, with the rank of colonel, and I csn still slip by the medicos. 

We are figuring on a heavy loss in enrollment next fall, ~o that it would be 

easy enough to get a leave of sbeence, letting some instructor who has not 

achieved tenure--snd gets s smaller salar:yi-o-keep a jab while I em away. 

I have a hunch you are now brigaded with the old Navy section, as 1I1f 

friend General Truesdell says "in some hideout near the Amcrtcan University." 

I bads lot of friends there, and, as always, ran into many who hated my guts. 

Or maybe they are all out across the river st that other fem sem. 

Quid plure? You are busy, and I am too: if you think there would be 

any use in my running down to Washington to see anybody about it--end whom7--

I should appreciate a note. 

Very best regards to yourself and your most charming wife. 

Yours cordially, 

Henry Dexter Learned

I recommend that you take this matter up with

At present the only vacancy for which he might 

qualify is in MOS 9600 in AFSA-02. You are more 

familiar with Colonel Learned•s qualifications than 

I and if his assignment to AFSA is contemplated it 

should be on OOA's direction. otherwise I concur

De~r C'Qlonel Friedman: 

My present com.~ission, dated 20 October 

1949. is in the Military Intelligence Division, 

USAR., and I am assigned to the ORC School (es 

11 student") at Rq. :las tern Pa. Mili taryDistrict, 

Schuylki11 Arsenal, Philadelphia 46. Our next 

higher Bq. is, of course, 2 Arcrw at ~ort Meade. 

This assignment keeps me in an active status, and 

does not demand a prohibitive expenditure of time, 

but very little of the work offered has anything 

to do with my previous active duty assignments. No 

doubt progress has been made there, as elsewhere, 

and I should like to bru.eh up--and keep up to date. 

I have summer school classee until 3 August, 

then a break until 20 September; but I should not 

mind extending this indefinitely (taking leave ot 

absence here). I should needs couple of weeks 

advance •arning. 

Yours cordially,
