[27]_ memorandum-dated3-F I and my emorandum dated 21.
[28]Febrvary 1961) shoul bel utilized. This decisionws made
[29]‘as a result of a conversation between Mr. Howard OSBORNE,
[30]Deputy Chief, SR Division, and Mr. Jack SOUTHARD, Chief, cca/Nc.
[32]3. A meeting was called on 27 February 1961 to determine
[33]the type of cover organization that should be substituted for
[34]this purpose. After considering the matter at, length, it was
[35]ascertained that the Agency has a cleared employment) service in
[37]“(0 i ttsbureh) which could possibly be utilized as an initial q
[38]assessment. This firm, the EMPLOYMENT SERVICE CQ!PANY. 2
[39]is located in the Union Trust Building, (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,) jo |
[40]and is managed Sy (Margaret, A. KEARNEY)(see SSD File 95018).
[41]It was agreed that if the(EMPLOYERS SERVICE coupgt could
[42]provide the needed cover, two OTR psy hologists“would be docu-
[43]mented in true name with that firm in(Pittsburghhl\? ccc (Frank
[44].. O'MALIEY) will make a trip to(Pittsburgb),in the next few days
[45]to determine whether Miss (iCEARNEY, is amenable to the proposed
[46]arrangement «dg The two psychologist$ ‘selected were Doctors
[47]BRADT and McKEF on whom credit checks were recently completed
[48]ith negative results as to Agency employment.
[50]‘vs hy Tt was further ascertained at this time that Mr.
[51]{7 ~ Hoaard OSB°RIE desired that all training and assessment of
[52]REDSXIN Agents who pass the initial screening be conducted
[54]peers SCRE a:
[59]outside the Washington, D. C. area. Host of the training will
[61]be conducted in an SR safe house in New York.
[63]The SR reoresen—
[65]tative will probably request a safe house in Baltimore for the
[66]final assessment and processing of those REDSKIN Agents that
[68]are cleared in the initial screening by either BRADT or MicKEE) 06
[69]It should be noted at this point that SR Division plans to
[70]process thirty or thirty-five REDSKIN Agents this year. Time
[71]is, of course, of the essence, in view of the fact that these
[72]people will have t~ be assessed, security-cleared, briefed, —
[74]and trained, and arrangements for grants made before the sumer
[76]season.
