CAPTAIN HILKEN, referring to the letter from D.N.I. under consideration, said that the U.S. Director of Naval Intelligence, Admiral Espe, had made the point that the Central Intelligence Agency felt that by stopping the activities of the American Interrogation Unit in Hong Kong we were stopping a useful source of intelligence. It was quite clear from what Colonel Stevenson had said that our own resources were inadequate to derive full value from this source. It seemed a great pity to him to prohibit American participation in interrogation in Hong Kong if they were willing to help.
