I. Substantive Briefings
These should be given as needed. Present arrangement ideal.
Such briefings are generally given by Mr. Dulles, Gen. Cabell or
Mr. Amory. If Mr. Amory needs a substitute, he usually sends
Sherman Kent.

II. Briefin s on CIA Mission Functions and Organization (including
both DDI and , DP coverage to include types of operations and
sanitized examples of each)
1. Lyman Kirkpatrick (somewhat weak on the DDI side, perhaps
by choice. Good briefer, has the rank, and will not "play cozy"
with audience.)
2.1 (Professional briefer. Good balance between
DDI and DDP. No rank. Does not have experience in depth of DDP,
but knowledge of DDP more than sufficient if terms of reference
indicate conceptual and organizational presentation, sprinkled with
good operational examples. Insufficient knowledge if what is called
for is along "CIA in the Field" lines, calling for field experience;
or if what is called for is extensive coverage of specialized topics
such as "War Planning," "UW," etc. Where protocol indicates ranking
official, can be used in combination with such official--giving basic
data, leaving Mr. Amory, for example, to elaborate and to answer
questions.)
