Fri day - 5 October 1962
Talked with Gerald Ford concerning the
land told him frankly that while the individual had
looked good to our irtervicwer and his record was good, when he
had been examined by our medical people it was their opinion that
he did not meet Agency standards based on a psychiatric evaluation.
I indicated that, of course, we necessarily had high standards in
this regard since individuals could be placed in positions subject to
great strain. Ford added that he .h.o,ped we did have high standards.
He said he appreciated our being frank with him and wanted our
suggestions as to how he should advise the individual who had come
to him asking Ford's guidance as to whether or not he should reapply
in another year or so after ha had college under his belt. Ford inquired
whether it would be inappropriate for him to reapply and I indicated that
while very likely he still would not pass, nevertheless we would look at
him and give hin'. appropriate tests if he reapplied. Ford said he would
not encourage this with the individual but indicated he did not want to
have to face up to trying to answer why the individual could not reapply.
2. met with senator Jacob K. Javits at the
Director's request. ea emoraadum for the Record.
3. I ITalked with Mrs. Kiernan, in the
office of Representative Thomas F. Johnson, and advised her that when
our medical staff contacted for further medical
examinations, he advised them he had taken another position. Mrs.
Kiernan said she was aware of this and thanked us for our efforts.
