Response to the IG's Survey on Air Activities:
teed-that DPD's response to the IG's survey on air activities
was now on desk, but that the original 15 April
deadline had been delayed by two weeks. Dr. Scoville commented that
the whole subject was so much up in the air that it would make more
sense to delay a response for three months. In any event, the response
will come to the DD/ R after the DD/ P has approved it, at which time
the DD/ R response to one specific item will be added.
2. DD/ R Charter: Dr. Scoville said the Agency notice (HN 1-15)
assigning the Special Projects portion of DPD to the DD/ R had been
recalled because it had been faultily drafted. No progress has been
made between Messrs. Helms and in delineating the
division between those specific positions to be assigned, respectively,
to DD/ R and DD/ P. Dr. Scoville said he would call Mr. Helms and
attempt to re-open the subject.

Support personnel on personnel matters, it had been revealed that

7. Channels for NSA Information: I said that NSA
had succeeded in getting on the USIB agenda yesterday an item proposing
that certain range data be transmitted directly by NSA to "the highest levels
of Government" without prior distribution to OSI and SAC. The item was
referred by the USIB to the SIGINT Committee of the USIB, chaired by Gen.
SaWord. The alleged reason for this proposal by NSA was the reduction of
security leaks.
8. S&T Course: I (reported that the upcoming S&T
for DD/ P case officers is under-subscribed, as usual. If the course does
come off, he suggested that it would be useful to have at least one presenta-
tion from a high level customer (not OSI). suggested it would 25X1

suggested that 1 -1 could make a good presentation along these 25X1
lines because of his past position.

have been constituted as a subcommittee, under the Killian
Committee, to study positive and counter audio efforts.
