9 (2) ICPC Direct Dealings with Other Agencies fhe ICPC has repeatedly tgnored the Bureau's status Gs liaison representative and dealt directly with other agencies in the United States. The Legal Attaches in Paris have repeatedly brought thie to the attention of ICFC but those offtictais have continued to deal directly with other American agenctes particularly Secret Service and Warcotics Bureau_in an effort t6 establish closer relations with those organizationa and apparently to influence Anslinger and bring him into closer affiliation with the ICPC. The most recent instance of this tendency on the part of ICPC was the conference held tn Fhe | Hague regarding counterfeit matters at which tine Mr. Baughman, the Head of the Secret Service, was tnuited directly by the I¢PC. It is noted that Nepote at ICPC headquarters advised Fest con- Jidentially that the invitation was so extended because Mr. Guy Spaman, the Treasury representative in Ports, indicated that Baughman preferred to receive the tnuitation in that manner. It is noted that in his reply to the Director, President Louwage claimed that the tnvitation had been sent to Baughman Girectly because the counter= feiting convention was organized by the ICPC on the “delegation” of the United Nations. He indicated that Baughman and Spaman did not attend the subse- quent Annuai dAssemdiy of the iCPC. The first draft minutes of the Annual Assembly, however, listed both Baughman and Spaman as delegates along with West, whose nome appeared at the bottom of the list. The explanation given for this by MWepote was that the listings were Gliphabetical. When West pointed sut that the other country delegates were not listed Glphabetically, Wepote agreed to correct the listings in the final minutes of the Assexbly. This refutes Louwage ' "s claim that Baughman and Spamnan were tnuited only to the counterfeiting conference and did not ' ; attend the Annual Assembly of ICPC. | v ? - 20 - S ‘Ve r pre
