For About IS Minutes

Francis Carr. executive director
of the Senate Permanent Sub
committee. conferred with Sec
rotary Stevens for approx
mately IS minutes. The purpose
Of the meeting was to discuss
in some detail plans for the Fort
Monmouth Investigations. Dur
ing the course of such discus
sions Cohn asked the Secretary
about an assignment in the New
York City area for Schine, when
indicted. Cohn stated that it
was desirable to have Schine
available for consultation to the
staff Of the committee to COM
plete certain work with which
Schine was familiar and that
the Army must have several
places in the New York City
area where Schine could per-
form Army work. The Secretary
did rot agree with this sug-
gestion and pointed out that
Schine should follow the same
procedures for assignment as
any other private in the Army.
Z. 14-17 October 1953-At some
point during this period, Cohn
requested Secretary Stevens to
assign Schine to temporary duty
in New York after his induction
for the purpose of completing
committee work. Secretary
Stevens suggested that Is days
Of temporary duty might be ar
ranged between induction and
training for the completion of
committee work.

the course of hearings in the
courthouse in Foley Square in
New York in mid October, 1858,
at one time, Senator Mccarthy,
Mrs. Mccarthy and John G..
Adams, Department Of the Army
counselor, were together. Sena-
tor Mccarthy at this time told
Adams that Schine was of no
help to the committee but was
interested in photographers and
getting his pictures in the paper,
and that things had reached the
point where Schine was pest.
Senator Mccarthy further said
that he hoped nothing would oc-
cur to stop the ordinary processes
OF the draft procedures in
Schine's case. Adams requested
Senator McCarthy's permission
to repeat the Senator's statement
to Secretary Stevens. Senator
Mccarthy stated that he hoped
Adams would promptly tell Sec
rotary Stevens his views.
8. Mid October, lesson the
next occasion when Secretary
Stevens, Senator Mccarthy and
Adams were together, which was
within a very few days. Adams
raised the subject of Schine.
Senator Mccarthy told Secretary
Stevens and Adams that Schine
was a nuisance but that Senator
Mccarthy did not want Cohn to
know Of these views on Schine.
10. 18 October-3 November,
1953.-During this two week
period Cohn and Adams spoke in
person or on the telephone al
most every day concerning an
assignment for Pvt. Schine to
the, New York City area. On

Transfer Expected
To Investigation School

TAG stated further that quite
probably Schine would be trans
ferred at the conclusion of his
eight weeks basic training at
Fort Dix to the Provost Marshal
General School at Camp Cor
don. Ga, for training in the
Criminal Investigators School
Length Of the course was
eight weeks.
Following these discussions
Adams went to Stevens and dis
cussed the results of the qualifi-
cation testing with him. Adams
stated that an assignment to
Camp Gordon for Schine would
be the normal course of action
that would follow from the quail
if1cation testing.
On 81 December Adams called
Cohn on the telephone and told
him about the probable assign
ment for Schine. Cohn re-
peatedy asked If the reassign-
ment would be to New York.
Adams told him that he did not
know and that he was not able
to discuss the future assignment
of Schine.

/. Mid-July 1e53-Maj. Gen.
Miles Reher, then chief of Army
legislative !iaison, received a
phone call stating that Senator
Mccarthy desired to see him. He
went to the Senator's office and
Senator Mccarthy there in
formed Gen. Reber that he was
very interested in securing a
direct commission for G. David
Schine, a consultant to the Sen
, ate permanent subcommittee on
investigations, on the basis Of
Schine's education, business ex-
perience and prior service with
the Army Transport Service.
Senator Mccarthy said that
speed was desirable since Schine
might be indicted into the
armed forces under the Selec-
tive Service Act. During the
meeting Roy Cohn. chief counsel
of the subcommittee. came in the
room and emphasized the neces-
sity for rapid action.
2. is July 1953-Schine called
the Office Of the chief Of legis-
lative liaison. Department Of the
Army, on the telephone and
asked whether he could come to
the Pentagon that afternoon and
"hold up his hand" He was
advised that it would be neces-
Sary to submit an application
for a commission He came to
OCLL in the Pentagon where he
was assisted in completing the
necessary application blanks. He
was also taken to the Pentagon
dispensary for a physical exam
nation.
8. 1880 July 1953-Schine's
application for a commission was
considered by the chief Of trans
portation, the provost marshal

general of the LIST Army. All
three determined that Schine
was not qualified for a direct
commission and he was SO noti-
fed by letter dated July 80. 1853.
from the LIST Army and confirmed
by Gen. Reber. During the pc
Rod from the time of the initial
request by Senator Mccarthy
concerning the commission for
Schine to the time of the final
decision that Schine was not
qualified for q commission. there
were inquiries from the commit
tee staff Of OCLL as to the
status of the application.
4. ! August 1953-Cohn re-
quested OCLl to explore the pos
sibility Of obtaining a reserve
commission for Schine in either
the Air Force or the Navy. These
explorations were undertaken
with negative results. Cohn was
so advised during the month of
August
S. 80 September. 1953-Cohn

Nee orthy Shows Interest
In Schine Assignment

During the course of the
luncheon. however, Cohn asked
when the Army would be able
to arrange for a New York City
assignment for Pvt. Schine
Senator Mccarthy also stated
that he was interested in Pvt
Schine's receiving a New York
City assignment and suggested
that Schine might be sent to
New York with the assignment
of studying and reporting to the
secretary on evidence Of pro-
Communist leanings in West
Point text books. Cohn also re-
quested that Pvt. Schine be
made available for committee
work while he was undergoing
basic training at Fort Dix.
Stevens said that. if necessary
to complete pending committee
work. Pvt. Schine would be per-
mitted to leave the post on week
ends after his training was con-
cluded If the committee
staff found it necessary to con-
suit with Schine during the week
about committee matters, they
might go down to Fort Dix and
meet with Schine on the post in
the evening at the conclusion OF
Fvt. Schine's training after first
clearing with Brig. Gen. Cor
nelius Ryan. Stevens also said
that If a matter of urgency In
committee work developed
Sehine could be given permits
sion to leave the post for that
purpose in the evening after
training. -.
Normally soldiers in their first
four weeks of basic training al
Fort Dix are not permitted tc
leave the post in the evenings,
nor are they given weekend
passes. This rule is a local one
and is subject to modification to
permit new arrivals to meet per-
sonal emergencies. family needs
or to close out commitments.
The statement of Secretary
Stevens, therefore, authorized
Private Schine to be given passes
if needed for committee business
on the first four week ends when
he might otherwise have been

and that he hoped that Schine
would be treated the same as
other soldiers. Mccarthy also
said he would ask the committee
staff. to observe the same rule.

cember 1858, was written by Nc

obligation to 100000 other men
being drafted every year and
that Schine wasn't the only coll
lege graduate to serve as a pri-
vate.
| It was on these occasions that
Mr.. Adams first stated that the
national interest required that nc
preferential treatment be given
to Schine and explained to Mr..
Cohn that he was fifteen years
older than Mr.. Cohn and could
speak from a wealth of expert
ence as Senate employe and in
the Pentagon on this very SUBJ
ject. Mr.. Cohn replied that. if
national interest was what the
Army wanted he'd give it a little
and then proceeded to outline
how he would expose the Army
in its worst light and show the
country how shabbily it is being
run.
Adams attended executive ses-
sion Of the subcommittee in New
York. Cohn discussed Schine's
assignment in the Army several
times with Adams.
II. 3 November 1853 - Schine
was indicted into the Army and
was placed on Is days temporary
duty in New York Ito complete
committee work. The day fol-
lowing, Senator Mccarthy said
to Adams that members Of the
press and others might ask why
Pvt. Schine was still in New
York. Senator Mccarthy re-
quested Adams to have the tenn
porary duty in New York cam
celed. At that time, Coiln sug-
gested to Adams that as long as
it was the middle Of the week
the temporary duty be continued
to the end of the week and
Schine report the first of the
following week. This was done.
IL. 3-6 November 1953-Some-
time during this period. Cohn
had a conversation with Adams
in which Cohn stated that men,
bers of the committee staff would
have to go to Fort Dix to con-
clude certain committee work
