vO RR Bente Leb e 4 “mn Januery 18, 1962 P, 0. Box 1513 Main Post Office Washington, D. C. Peer Allens At a mecting of the Executive Committees of the Board of N.C.F.f. 2 the members felt that two of the aubjects held on Joimury 3rd Letts. secussed at that tise should be called te your ettention so that you might know the views o? the Coumnittee in the event these mattcra wers broupht before you 24 & later dete. The first cercecrns » sugyection which apperently came informally from MeCluny end others in Amcomfree, thet if meens could be fourd to do so, they be allows’ to uze some of the F.P.£. facilities in Germeny for certein of their troedcasts. Since this matter was not brought up as a formal recuezt, mo action wae teken by the Committees, but the in- dividual member: unzsiuously exprecsed the opinion that this would be moct inadvisuble end thet they would be opposed to the use of RLFLF. fecilities for thie gorpoes even if time and frevuencies were avell- eble, which is not st €11 certein. Since Ameomfrce is an orgenizetion | 4t seems advisable to acquaint you with our feelinge ir. tse matter should you or. your organization be epproeched by McClucy or othera on this subject. Without going inte detalls at thia time «2 to the reasons for our feeling.in the matter, our main concern 1g thet Amcomfree's targets ore envirely different from those in which we are interested, and from the standpoint of operation from Germze e041 they eure far less likely to be agreeable to BONN. We are fearful of putting in jeopardy & presently successful operation and four t- five million dollars of etuipaent by the intro} duction of « project waich wa fuel should be kept separate and apart. The other metter which csme up for forme] ection involved the adviesbility of umiertexing Poligh programing in Germany, and the Executive Committee crantmously syreed thit R.F.%. should proceed with the plens pregerted. In brief, such plens 211 for the origins- tion of from three «2 four bourse deily of Poiigh programing from Munich beginning on or about Mey 1, 1952, and the introduction of some 50 te 60 Poles into the city of Munich for work with Re FE. to carry out this schedule. : Since this ig a salor step in the development of R.F.E. progrem- ing end more perticulzrl,; because of the forthceming negotiations be- tween representatives of N.C.F.M., HICOG, an BOKH, it was felt that you should be formelly advised of this decision. The Fxrecutive Com- mittee also wanted ts go on record to the effect that while they retlized the riske irvolved, affirm-tive action wes teken as a result of opinions given by Messra. Byrotde, Kellermern eml Streuss of the Germun Desk, Departa<rt of State, end by Mesers. Stone, Lewis and Eoerner of HICOG.
