DIARY NOTES
28 April 1953
1. and Shef Edwards advised me that they were studying the
Presidents oos recent order on security and would give us a full briefing as
soon as they could finish their analyses.
2. Arranged for a switch to be installed in General Cabell's Office so
that he can hear his telephone when he is working alone. 25X1A9a
3. Also instructed to insure that outside calls to the Offices
of the Director, Deputy Direc r, Deputy Director (Plans), Deputy Director (In-
telligence), and Deputy Director (Administration) were switched to the Watch 25X1A9a
Officer when they were not answered. 25X1 A9a
t,.. After telephone calls from and. con- 25X1 A9a
cerning space for their Laboratory, met with and
Instructed them to attempt to extend the lease on the Rosslyn
property for one more year with a thirty-day option to terminate.
5. advises that General Cabell wants to push the Army and in-
sist that they order back for an interview. General Cabell
wants to call the Pentagon himself but will consult with General Morris and get
all of the details before doing so. I have alerted General Morris.
6. Mr. Pforzheimer telephoned to say that we had received a form letter
from Senator Styles Bridges requesting a report on all office space occupied
other than that obtained through the General Services Admin-
istration. I told Mr. Pforzheimer to coordinate this with the Logistics Office
but that it appeared to me that our letter should merely say that our space was
being reported by the General Services Administration. 25X1 A9a
7. Matt Baird was in to say that the information which he and
had given to me yesterday concerning air conditioning for the Recreation and
Services Building was incorrect. He stated that there were actually thirty-
one rooms for which there would be no air conditioning units installed and that
outside rooms had not been provided for at all. He believed that it might be
impossible to use some of these rooms this summer unless we got them air con-
ditioned and I reassured him of our interest in solving this problem but told
him that I frankly saw no way to do it unless Mr. Dulles could get permission
to spend more money for this purpose.

1. Returned to the Chief, General Services Office, via the Regulations
Control Staff, their proposed Notice No. STANDARDIZATION OF FILING
SUPPLIES) with the following note: "I think that the objective of standard-
izing filing supplies is a good one. However, acceptance of this principle
by Agency offices affected cannot be taken for granted. Since we are trying
to introduce the concept of a good Records Management Program, it should not
be associated with any impression that changes are being made arbitrarily
without advance discussion. Changes are always more palatable when those af-
fected have been consulted. Before publishing the proposed Notice, I believe
you should get concurrences from principal using offices." (ER-3-9598A)
