SU3JECT: Critical List of 1-ustrian Scientists

TO: The Director of Central Intelligence


Attention: j), Asst. Director, OSI

1. Reference is made to JIOA letter 1034:/of 16 linreh 1949,


subject "Request for Nominations of Austrian Scientists to Critical
List."

2. This Agency has received a letter from Headquarters, USFAI


inclosin their recommendations for the Austrian Critical List.
UE:77_ has also listed specialists of lesser importance which might be
included in a denial program for Austria.

3. This Agency is calling a meeting of representatives of the


three services to discuss the nominations to the Critical List in
particular, an6 to consider the advisability of a general denial
program for Austria similar to that now in effect in Germany. The
caliber of specialists in Austria is, of course, an important
conEideration in evaluating the need for and necessary scope of a
denial program for that country.

4. The meeting referred to will be held in the Offices of JIOA,


room 2D937, Pentagon, on ,:ednesday, 14 beptember. It would be
appreciEted if a representative of CIA could be present at the meeting
to give us the views of your Agency on the preeminence of the specialists
on the inclosed lists. If you will advise us of the name of your
representative, a time for the meeting will be arranged that will be
convenient for all concerned.

S. Your nominations for the Austrian Critical List forwarded


by your letter of 13 April 1949 have been received and together with
those of the services are being sent to USFA for comment.
