[edit] Text of memo
Date: 12/13/52
To: MR. LANE
From: MR. MARAN
Subject: Rosenberg case
On December 13, 1952 a Mr. Benjamin Bradlee called and informed me that he was Press Attache with the American embassy in Paris, that he had left Paris last night and arrived here this morning. He advised me that he was a former Federal Court Reporter for the Washington Post and that he was sent here to look at the Rosenberg file in order to answer the Communist propaganda about the Rosenberg case in the Paris newspapers.
He advised me that it was an urgent matter and that he had to return to Paris Monday night. He further advised that he was sent here by Robert Thayer, who is the head of the C.I.A. in Paris. His phone number here was Rhinelander 4-2595.
After conferring with you I advised Mr. Bradlee that before we could allow him to examine the file in the Rosenberg case, we would have to get clearance from the Department of Justice in Washington.
He stated that he was supposed to have been met by a representative of the C.I.A. at the airport but missed connections.
He has been trying to get in touch with Allen Dulles but has been unable to do so. I advised him to call the State Department in Washington, and to have them get the Department of Justice in Washington to get clearance for us to allow him to look at the Rosenberg file.
Mr. Bradley advised me that he would probably call you first to find out if he could look at the matters in the file which were public record, and if not would follow my suggestion about calling the C.I.A. or the State Department in Washington.
[ Handwritten addendum: ] 12/13/52 Mr. Bradlee displayed his credentials and desired to look thru the official public record of the trial. Mr. Maran brought it up. Mr. Bradlee worked on the record from 2:30 - 6:30.
To me this says he was a Press Attache. He knew people in the CIA, and they were (supposed to be) helping him. Rich Farmbrough 19:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Misquote?
"But if you look at the phenomena Wikipedia, for example..."
Should this be "Phenomenon" ??
[edit] Why the emphasis on ancestry?
Odds are I am a descendant of Charlemagne, too. A huge portion of this entry is devoted to the man's ancestry, yet it has nothing at all to do with his achievements or any reason he might be included in an encyclopedia. I don't think it belongs here, but if it does, it can be covered in a sentence, rather than several grafs.Goateeki (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
