 ''had a meeting with one "Stamp" (unidentified) and they visited a mutual acquaintance, "B," who was then working on a "robot plant." "B" had furnished to Schevchenko information concerning the production of robots. From the information available we have definitely ascertained that the robot in question is the JB-2 robot bomb, commonly known as the "buzz bomb," the production of which commenced about July, 1944. The principal contractor the manufacture of these robots was the Republic Aircraft  Long Island, New York. The identity of "B" has not been established.

A review of the Bureau's files reflects that this individual is probably identical with George Andrew Beiser, who was born July 5, 1909, Neenah, Wisconsin. He was employed by the Bell Aircraft Corporation in Buffalo, York, from February, 1942, to August, 1946, and during a  of this period he was loaned to the Government by the Bell  Corporation and had miscellaneous assignments overseas. We a record reflecting that as of February 28, 1948, he was  by the National Military Establishment, Research and Development Board, Pentagon Building, Washington, D. C.

This matter will be closely followed, and if he is still employed the Government a decision will be made as to whether he should be investigated under the Loyalty Program.''
