There is attached hereto copies of two memoranda dated July 24, 1947, and July 16, 1947, concerning Byron B. Savage, Field Engineer, Radio Corporation of America, Dallas, Texas, 416 N. W. 29th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Kenneth Arnold, Box 387, Boise, Idaho. These memoranda were made available to Special Agent S. W. Reynolds of the Liaison Section by General Schulgen of the Army Air Forces Intelligence. General Schulgen requested that the Bureau conduct a background investigation of these two individuals mentioned in the attached memoranda since they were among the first to sight the alleged flying discs. He indicated that he desired that the investigation be directed toward ascertaining whether or not either of these individuals have any subversive background and to ascertain whether or not they had any ulterior motives for reporting these sightings.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that this memorandum be forwarded to the Internal Security Section.
