Tab F-3: Post-World War II Recruitment of German Scientists, Project Paperclip (draft staff memorandum), Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, 5 Apr 1995.
Scholarship & press
The director of the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency, Navy Captain Bosquet N. Wev, bluntly put the case for recruitment in a April 27,1948 memo to the Pentagon's Director of Intelligence
Project Paperclip was a postwar and Cold War operation carried out by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency
Paperclip had two aims: to exploit German scientists for American research, and to deny these intellectual resources to the Soviet Union.
At least 1,600 scientists and their dependents were recruited and brought to the United States by Paperclip and its successor projects through the early 1970s.
The staff believes this trail should be followed with more research before conclusions can be drawn about the Paperclip scientists and human radiation experiments.
