(Secret - JGO) Met with Mr. Ralph Preston, House Appro- priations Committee staff, and discussed the Agency letter of 31 December to the Chairman relating to withdrawal from Reserves. Since Chairman Mahon is away from the city and Mr. Preston will be traveling with Representatives Frank Bow (R., Ohio), Edward Boland (D., Mass.), and Sidney Yates (D. , Ill.), Mr. Preston requested that the letter be held for safekeeping until his return to the city on the 12th. Also discussed a visit to the Agency by Mr. Preston for briefing during the week of the 12th. We will determine the exact day after his return to the city.
