U. S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE Detention Station IN REPLYING PLEASE REFER TO THIS FILE NUMBER Mr. W. F. Kelly, Chief Supervisor of Border Patrol, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Washington, D. C. Fort Missoula, Montana, May 8, 1941 Dear Mr. Kelly: Herewith, in duplicate, "Surveillance Order No. 1* which is being published today* The crew officers are now preparing a preliminary order in Italian which we will publish for them outlining the situation. Copies of this latter will be handed members of the crew (if finished in time) when the train is enroute from Missoula to Missoula Siding in the morning. Me have our group of officers ready to meet the train at Missoula. We have the highway police guarding the roads to the siding, keeping cars out that have no business in that area. We are going to keep the entrances to the Post closed to all but necessary traffic. I believe that the arrangements are thoroueJx and that nothing will come up which we have not anticipated. I sh^ll get the boys together tonight and give them a talk and go over the order. Of course, this is a preliminaiy order. This will be followed when our organizational set-up is complete and that of the crew is complete, by detailed instructions covering every phase of the activities and showing y$ho is who. At such time I shall prepare an organizational chart of the entire set-up. Needless to say the aires are again hot far permission to take photographs of the camp and the detraining o� the crewmen. I teve dx^foiroed everybody that such permission would come from Washington. I recanmeMi^ving permission to photograph the detention area until it is completed, the towers constructed, etc. Mr. Miller authorized me to ask for lists of eligibles for the positions listed in my letter of the 4th instant and to send in nominations. We must get moving on this. We are having trouble getting male stenographers. Mr. Wat kins has had little luck in Spokane but we have a young fellow in Billings that Insp'r Gates is looking over today. He looks good from his letter. We can always lean heavily upon the CCC until we get set up. Major Sullivan is cooperating beautifully, as is every one, so we will make out somehow. There is considerable property here which belongs to the post exchange and individual organizations which can be bought for a small fraction of what it originally cost. For instance, the large 30� power lawnmower of the hospital detachment; intercommunicating systems; furniture, etc. etc* Is there any way that we could buy some of this? Mr. McLau^ilin and I are going down to look over the siding where the cars will be qpotted and I will mail this at the same time. Regards, Cffffif '7
