In case the developnent does work out it will be of the utmost importance--if only as a source of neutrons and tritium. He favored a high classification. He believed with Dr. von Neumann, although somewhat less broadly, that ‘some of the theoretical hydrodynamics aspects should have a much lower classification. Dr. Rabi asked about the Commission's plans for its Office of Intelligence Office Plans Intelligence. Mr, Strauss answered that they did not yet have a replace ment “for Dr. Colby, but that the policy was that there should be such a man, for the benefit of both AEC and CIA, wouldbe welcome, * oO meena oe - Any suggestions from the GAG - Denartment of Energy * Historian’s Office _ ARCHIVES _ 10
