FROM I (Writer's last name) (Date) 

(Seniee. division, or ortaniation) (Location) (Telephone ntenaion) 

1. .An opportunity for the personnel of B II to hear Mr. Friedman. discuss cryptography and cryptanalysis, in conjunction with his 

slides, would be highly desirable for several reasons: 

a) As a training measure 

b) As a means of revitalizing the spirit of the personnel 

at this important phase of the Japanese War and thereby speeding up and increasing their contribution to it. 

c) The morale effect resulting from the opportunity to see 

and hear from an individual who speaks with the authority in this 

field which the Director of Cemmunications Research has established 

through his experience as pioneer, technician, teacher and mentor. 

2. It is therefore respectfully requested that the Directer 

of Communications Research specify a date meeting his convenience 

and B II will try to arrange for the use of the Post Theatre in order 

to accomodate as many as possible.
