1. Release of Information on Soviet and Satellite Armed Forces; 2. Disclosure of Information about the Armed Forces and Defence Plans of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation

1 Jul 1951

'X' SECRET A central record of all past announcements and the name of the person who made them would be valuable and could best be kept in the Ministry of Defence. Past history would then be readily available. The Public Relations Officers to Service Ministries would probably have a good library of information already and might be able to contribute. MR. McEUEN confirmed that the Joint Intelligence Bureau already read a certain number of newspapers in the course of their normal work, but to cover fully the information required would entail a considerable amount of extra work.
