1. In discussing the paragraph 3 requirement in

reference A for names of the Chiefs

and Deputy Chiefs of

the 6 Research Section in 1960-62 with one of the former

Deputy Branch Chiefs

of SR-6, le were made aware of

the fact

that SR-6 had a Section called the Research

Section which

later was called the Operational Support Section.

We had been

• under the impression

that the MISCA was

interested in the

dentities of the Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs of SR-6, which was

provided under reference C.

as we can determine at this time, the

Research Section of SR-6 had

no Chief or Deputy in 1960.

Mr. Rudolph Balaban was made Section

1961-62.

Mr. Balaban resigned in 1970 and we have no

address. He had been

assigned to the Section from August

1960 to

April 1964.

3.

One of the ranking officers in the Section and an

Acting Chief was Mr. Donald E. Poole, retired, c/o Marvin
