Lt. Colonel H.J. Veazey
Director of Training
Camp Holabird, Md.

Dear Colonel Veazey,

I recently received my reserve commission as 2nd lieutenant in Military Intelligence. My academic year would allow me to go on active duty from about June 1st to September 30th. Since you know my capabilities and since intelligence teaching is a major interest with me, I wanted to take this opportunity to offer my services to you. I feel that my experience in the field, coupled with my year at ECIS might be of value to your command. In the past year, moreover, I have taken courses of instruction dealing with specific political and economic problems in Europe.

I would be very grateful if you could advise me on the possibility of active duty with your headquarters.

For the past year, since my return from Europe, I have been attending Harvard University. It is interesting and what I wanted. Yet I can not help but think with a certain nostalgia of the, now so far-away, days of Oberammergau.

We have a miniature ECIS here: Lt. Bass, Mr. Springer, several former students, and Chaplain Boozer nearby. Occasionally, of course, we meet and speak of the " good, old days."

Dear Lieut. Kissinger:

Reference is made to letter, this office, dated 14
July 1949, relative your indebtedness to the United States
Government, in the amount of $7.00, for overpayment of pay
and allowances.

To date, the above-mentioned correspondence has not

amount due.

In view of the length of time which has elapsed since
said indebtedness was incurred, and in order that same may
be cleared with the least possible delay, it is again re-
quested that you favor this office with remittance or reply
as to when same may be anticipated.

Your prompt attention to this matter would be

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

During the period 1 July - 28 September 1949, Second Lieutenant Henry A. Kissinger has been assigned to this branch of the Counter Intelligence Corps School in the capacity of researcher-instructor specializing in German history.

Lieutenant Kissinger's services, personal comportment and character have been reproachless throughout this period. Should he become available for work of this nature in the future, I should feel indeed fortunate in being able to use his specialized knowledge and experience in accomplishment of the mission of this organization.

29 September 1949

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

1. For the second year in a row 2d Lt Henry A. Kissinger has been on a tour of temporary active duty as an instructor in European history and politics in the International Survey Branch of the Counter Intelligence Corps School, Headquarters Counter Intelligence Corps Center, Camp Holabird, Maryland. During both tours, Lt. Kissinger's performance of duty has been outstanding, and the sincerity with which he has devoted himself to his job has been highly commendable.

2. Lt. Kissinger has brought to his teaching a store of deep knowledge of European institutions and a highly versatile and excellently disciplined mind. In addition, the enthusiasm he has displayed in helping students destined for service abroad gain an understanding and appreciation of European political and social problems and in explaining with telling effect the psychology of the European - and of the German especially - has been definitely praiseworthy.

Lt Kissinger/aa/3130

In compliance with paragraph 4, Procedure Memorandum 1-4, CIC School, 14 January 1953, Subject: Training of Mobilization Designee, the following comments are submitted in regard to my two-week tour as mobilization designee with the Department of International Affairs, CIC School:

1. My present tour of duty has been invaluable to me both from the human as well as the professional point of view. Nobody can appreciate better the helpfulness and friendliness of the personnel encountered at Fort Holabird than someone who spends the remainder of the year in the tense atmosphere of academic life. I have come to Fort Holabird every year since 1948. I am always impressed, and this year more than ever, by the efficiency with which one is made to feel that one "belongs." No time is lost in acquainting the mobilization designee with new procedures and new courses, and in turn the mobilization designee finds himself encouraged to make his maximum contribution. Credit for this is due to every branch with which I have been in contact. The Reserve Affairs branch handled its part with quiet dispatch and the staff sections of the Counter Intelligence Corps School could not have made my stay more pleasant. But I am especially grateful to the staff of the Department of International Affairs for their patience and helpfulness, particularly to Major Sala with whom I was privileged to work.

2. I had two major tasks. I reviewed the program of the course on Document and Publication Analysis, and I prepared a lecture for the Advance Course. I confess that I approached the Document and Publication Analyst Course with some misgivings. I was not sure whether it would prove possible to find personnel of the sophisticated understanding to determine the subtler forms of ideological penetration. And in its absence I was afraid that the program might do more harm than good. I am still in no position to judge the quality of the personnel which will take the course. I can say, however, that the course prepared under the supervision of Major Sala should give them the maximum amount of understanding attainable in a limited period. I was struck by its superior blend of theory and practice, by the fact that before dealing with Communist subversion, it explains the functions of propaganda and the nature of the Democratic system, so that the student will be able to see the Communist ideology in its proper perspective. I was also struck by the seriousness and sincerity with which certain officers, such as Captain McDevitt, whose own knowledge of the subject was initially limited, applied themselves to their task and prepared in a relatively short period of time lesson plans of exceptional quality. If the student body comes up to the caliber of the program, the Document and Publication Analyst Course will represent one of the best efforts undertaken by the Counter Intelligence Corps School. Because of Major Sala's sophisticated understanding of the problem, my own role was essentially confined to reviewing the program and concurring with it.

3. My contact with the Advance Course was limited to one lecture and a question-answer period, lasting two hours. I was very much impressed by the extremely high caliber of the students. The questions put to me were as good and better than any I have had for similar lectures in advanced courses at my university. Here, too, a word must be said about the quiet efficiency with which the staff of the Department of International Affairs prepared the technical aspect of my talk, such as producing maps, etc. The physical plant for the Advance Course was a great improvement over its previous location.

4. Altogether my tour of duty strengthened my association with the reserve program and the Counter Intelligence Corps. I should consider it a privilege to return here next summer.

SHIGEH TSUBOTA
Major, Inf
Exec Officer

Memorandum for the Assistant Commandant.

1. The following memorandum is written at the request of Capt Miller, Chief, Research and Analysis Branch, CIC School.

2. The undersigned officer concurs completely with both Capt Schnackenberg and Capt Duke that report-writing represents the ultimate criterion of an agent's ability. No information he collects will be meaningful unless it is expressed clearly, concisely, and exactly. The undersigned officer further agrees that the three handicaps mentioned by Capt Schnackenberg regarding specialization, length of assignment, and deficient personnel place certain limitations on the scope of instruction by the CIC School.

3. Nevertheless, the undersigned officer believes that these limitations are not insuperable. The undersigned officer does not maintain that instruction in political science should supplant the technical subjects but that the latter should be taught in terms of political situations. It is undoubtedly true that a knowledge of the fundamentals of investigative techniques must precede any other orientation. But on the other hand, investigative techniques can not be conceived apart from the general security situation.

4. The selection of informants, the development of "leads," the general procedure of investigation all depend on the psychological, political, and social components of a particular area, not on merely formal definitions of technique. For example, the penetration of any organization must be preceded by an understanding of the objective of the investigation and the general tendencies of the group to be penetrated. Otherwise, the investigation might defeat itself. One can not ordinarily send an individual as an undercover agent into a group the social composition of which differs very profoundly from his own background. Moreover, in order to maintain control of the informant it is usually advisable to brief him on the general nature of his mission. This again requires an understanding on the part of the agent of the political and psychological components of the security situation. (See basic memorandum, paragraph 3.)

5. Similarly, an interrogation is not merely an exercise in outwitting the suspect. It consists, rather, of an attempt at psychological domination. This, however, becomes impossible if the suspect realizes that the interrogator is merely groping for a correct combination of questions. A pretty complete knowledge of the suspect's background and an intimate awareness of the area in question seems a prerequisite to successful interrogation. This must be coupled with an appraisal of the suspect's psychology, for an interrogation is effective only to the extent that it takes the psychological factor into account.

6. If these general observations are correct, the problem of the CIC School is not a decision between incompatible alternatives but in determining

from patient research particularly in the local press and a state of
mind which appreciates the deeper meaning of political events. To
utilize informants for anything but filling in the gaps of such an
analysis represents a waste of manpower. The assumption that political
information is inherently "secret," to be obtained by means of involved
investigative procedures underestimates the vast amount of political
information contained in books, periodicals, newspapers, governmental
statistics, official records, etc. "Secret" information should merely
provide the connecting links in the knowledge of the general situation.
Indeed, without such a general knowledge, the CIC agent will be unable
to estimate the requirements of possible investigations.

5. The undersigned officer believes that the MRA (6 July 1950) illustrates the above observations. The introductory sentiment of Par la speaks of a "new political movement called the Nauheimer Kreis (Circle)." This represents a somewhat inaccurate estimate. As a matter of fact, the Nauheimer Circle has been in existence since the fall of 1948. It was organized as a supra-party group designed to influence the conventional parties in the direction of a united Germany. Since, however, Russia's policy presents the chief stumbling block to German unity, many of these nationalistic groups have advocated some arrangement with the USSR to end the impasse on Germany. This thinking is reinforced by a Prussian tradition which historically sought to insure Germany's freedom of action by means of an understanding with Russia. In this respect, the Nauheimer Circle is in the tradition of Frederick the Great, of Baron von Stein, Bismarck, Brockdorff-Rantzau, a tradition exemplified by the treaties of Rapallo and Berlin which enabled the German Army (The Black Reichswehr) to test weapons prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles in the USSR. It must be stressed that the political orientation towards Russia advocated by these groups is on a nationalistic, rather than on an ideological, plane. For these reasons the statement in Par la of the MRA dated 6 July 1950, that the investigation was to determine whether Noack was nationalist or pro-Soviet, posed an incorrect alternative. The significant feature of these groups is that they are pro-Soviet because nationalistic. Indeed, one of the most serious threats to the US position in Germany inheres in the danger of the amalgamation of these nationalistic groups into a political party which makes a Russo-German understanding the keystone of its foreign policy.

6. An examination of the background of the leaders of the Nauheimer Circle discloses that there can be no question of pro-Soviet sympathies on the Communist ideological plane. Noack is a professor of history in Wuerzburg with a record of nationalistic efforts and no previous Leftist ties. The representative of the group for Northern Germany, Hermes, is a leader of a moderate conservative party from the time of the Weimar Republic. He is, moreover, a point of contact between the Nauheimer Circle and the nationalistic organizations including the group of Major Remer, who was decorated and promoted to Major General by Hitler for his part in foiling the plot on Hitler's life on 20 July 1944. Though these groups

2

cannot be said to advocate a consistent policy, they all contain strong
elements advocating an understanding with the USSR on a national basis,
as a condition for German unity and freedom of action. It is also
significant to point out that the Nauheimer Circle represents the most
active, best educated, and economically responsible element of the popu-
lation. This has a bearing on the method of penetration discussed in
Par 8 below.

7. The undersigned officer wishes to stress that the above analysis is based entirely on unclassified information. It is felt that if this type of evaluation precedes efforts to penetrate political organizations a much better conception of the possible objectives of the investigation will be obtained. It seems almost impossible to select the proper type of informant or to accomplish his most efficient briefing, if the controlling CIC Detachment treats political events as "cases," to be activated simply as "incident investigations." In the report under discussion the informant seems to have been given a task that could not, in the best circumstances, be very fruitful, because the objective of his task appears to have been incorrectly stated.

8. Though it is difficult to judge matters of this type in the absence of more complete information, certain questions as to the method of penetration presented themselves to the undersigned officer. The cover story of the informant described in Par 1b seems unnecessarily involved. Overlooking the formidable technical difficulties in implementing this cover in a country of very exact population registry records, a number of problems remain.

a. Why should a free-lance journalist be utilized as editorial advisor by a group of such intellectual composition as the Nauheimer Circle? If the journalist was well-known, the only circumstance which would make his employment psychologically explicable, his cover story could not be maintained. If, on the other hand, he was, as described, free-lance, then it becomes difficult to understand his utilization by the Nauheimer Circle. The possibility suggests itself that the informant might have been used by the Nauheimer Circle as a channel of communication to the US authorities.

b. The advisability of utilizing an informant to "cover" material that is at any rate designed for publication (as described in Par 1c).

c. Can information on long-range aims of a political group be obtained by having an informant "bait" the leader as described in Par 1c? Political organizations evolve their goal usually in a somewhat more sophisticated and involved manner, and represent programs impossible to be adequately defined in a fit of anger. Moreover, a group with the avowed

purpose of working through existing political parties, will, in the nature of things, adapt its program to changing situations. The most significant developments are, therefore, likely to elude spot-investigations as described in the MRA, since they always picture as static a situation really in constant flux. Only an aggressive program of penetration that concerns itself with the psychological and social composition of a movement coupled with an analysis of the total political pattern can yield a correct picture of the security situation.

9. Though it is quite possible that a complete report of the case would produce a different picture, the undersigned officer, nevertheless, feels that the CIC School could aid the Detachments in the field by stressing somewhat more the political aspect of CIC investigations. This requires an indoctrination which will produce agents who regard the security situation not as a cycle of incidents, but as a meaningful total pattern and who aggressively attempt to dominate the security situation by an intimate knowledge of all its components, political, economic, social and psychological, instead of passively waiting for something to happen. The undersigned officer believes that the School could assist in producing this state of mind by the following measures:

a. The present curriculum tends to emphasize the "technical" aspect of investigations by defining the formal components of interrogations, the classification of informants and many useful technical aids. Many students thereby acquire the idea that the technical aspect represents the essence of investigations instead of providing the frame-work. Many of these "tricks of the trade", moreover, seem almost unteachable. An inwardly-alive individual will know how to put a subject of interrogation at ease. Another person will never learn it.

b. The method of teaching interrogations by supplying the student with a statement of facts tending to establish suspicion, and of having the student attempt to "break" the instructor by more interrogational technique makes the instruction somewhat unrealistic and sometimes reduces it to a battle of verbal wit. Actual interrogations rarely occur with only the bare facts of suspicious circumstances. Successful interrogations result from the psychological domination of the suspect achieved usually by impressing him with the futility of lying to an agent who obviously is very well-informed. Since most substantial subversive activity occurs as the aspect of a political situation, only an intimate knowledge of that situation and the psychological attitude of the suspect can achieve such domination.

c. The CIC School could emphasize these concepts by judging a correct interrogation not by the success in establishing the

directed to the 66th CIC Detachment by the CIC School:

a. Had a background investigation of Noack been accomplished prior to the attempted penetration? If so, had an evaluation of this investigation been utilized in selecting and briefing the informant?

b. Was an analysis of the leadership of the Nauheimer Circle accomplished prior to attempting its penetration?

c. Was an analysis made of the relationship of the Nauheimer Circle to other nationalistic groupings?

d. Why did Noack associate with journalist? If the journalist was well-known, how could he maintain his cover story? If not, what was his value to the Nauheimer Circle?

e. What, in general terms, is the journalist's background? What is his motive for carrying out this mission?

f. Has the information supplied by the journalist been evaluated? If so, what are the conclusions regarding Noack's group?

11. The undersigned officer realizes that the MRA, 6 July 1950, is merely fragmentary and may not by itself constitute a reason for such sweeping recommendations. However, it is felt that the need for in-doctrinating CIC personnel with a greater awareness of the political, economic, social, and psychological components of the security situation exists apart from this particular report. Since future tactical operations are likely to be conducted in territory containing sizeable fanatic Communist minorities, only an intimate awareness of the psychological and political variables of such activities can enable the CIC agent to effectively combat these subversive activities.
