3. CLERICAL STAFF FOR THE JOINT SCIENTIFIC AND JOINT TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES THE CHAIRMAN referred to a letter he had received from Colonel Burlton, in which he raised the need for a secretarial and clerical staff for the Joint Scientific and Joint Technical Intelligence Committees, readily available in Bryanston Square, for dealing with the informal meetings which were likely to occur frequently and at short notice. In such cases it would not be possible to ensure the availability of the Official Secretaries from the Cabinet Offices.
