governmental, are actively working towa:d an improvement in the

CiFCmRs:2=CEs la maict mañy escapees liná thernseives. As remedial

action is aggressively taken.

the difficulties the Communists exploit

will be seroved.

I bave read the report pciscially, and, at your convomience.

will welcame further discussion of any matters you feel are pertinen:

but were not covered in the report itself.

Sincerely,

Allen W. Dulles
