My dear Professor Tillich:

The primary purpose of the inquiry is to collect brief biographical records and estimates of individuals who can be relied on for personal integrity, disinterestedness and intellectual honesty; who enjoy a good reputation and exert influence in their communities; and who possess expert competence in their subjects or professions. Any information which you may provide will be held in strict confidence, and its source will not appear on the record. It will be used with discretion, and only to advance the declared aims and policies of the United States with regard to the several countries named, during the war and the immediate post-war period.

In supplying information, please use the enclosed questionnaire (FROM HA), and observe the following directions:

1. Questions filled or crossed (xxx) need not be answered, the information being already available from other sources.

2. Leave blank any questions which you do not deem yourself competent to answer either from your knowledge or after consultation with other sources.

3. Do not attach your name to the questionnaire, but attach the questionnaire to your return covering letter, and pencil your initials lightly at top of the first sheet.

4. Whenever relevant, indicate accuracy and recency of your information.|

5. Enter on FROM HB the names of other sources from whom you have obtained information on any given person, together with your estimate of their reliability.
