2. At the Deputies Meeting, Mr. Dulles raised contractual
problem, and we discussed in general the desirability of placing a contracting
officer and a lawyer on full-time with the TSS Contractual Program. It was generally
concluded that, even though this might not be a full-time job at the moment, it
might be highly desirable to do it at least the next several months. Mr. Dulles
approved of this, and I will discuss it with the General Counsel and the Procurement
and Supply Office and see that it is done.
Mr. Dulles raised the question of the new building in which he is intensely
interested and asked me to talk to the Comptroller and the General Counsel as to
what the best way to proceed is. We were in general agreement that our strongest
points for argument were the tangible savings which we could effect by being under
one roof and the fact that we were turning back a very large amount of FY 1953
money. We must pull all of this together at a very early date in order to give Mr.
Dulles and appropriate people in Congress a thorough briefing when we are called
upon to do so. 25X1 C4a

Mr. Dulles mentioned that he was very much impressed with our
FBI Liaison man, and that he thought he was very sincere in trying to better our
relations with the FBI. Mr. Dulles also said that he wanted to call on Mr. Hoover
very early after he was sworn in, and tentatively he plans to do so next Wednesday,
4 March. 25X1A9a
Mr. Dulles approved of the extension of as a con 25X1 A9a

Mr. Dulles indicated that the heat was off a little bit, and he felt certain that
20 days would be soon enough.
I reported that the special bill for General Cabell was now at the House
and the Senate and hearings in the Armed Services Committee would probably take
place on Tuesday.
I raised the question of the position we have taken in the past that we
would not actively solicit for charitable drives within the Agency except the Red
Cross and Community Chest. Mr. Dulles approved of continuing this policy and asked
that the letter he was about to sign to the Society for Crippled Children be as
courteous as possible.
25X1A 3, Walter Pforzheimer reported that he had talked to Dick Arens, the Committee
Counsel for the Immigration and Naturalization Subcommittee, concerning their Inter
est in They indicated that they are willing
to submit questions to us and will draft a letter to the Agency. They will give us
the draft to make suggested changes prior to actually dispatching it. Pforzheimer 25X1A

6. to express some unhappiness about his auditors
still being on the was in I explained to him, which
I thought he already understood, that this in no way influences his jurisdiction
over these people, and I believe this satisfied him. 25X1A6a
He is also drafting a paper which he hopes the Director will sign on
the necessity for rendering proper accountings for money, etc. I told him that,
if the paper was brief and confined to principles, I thought it would not be
difficult to get Mr. Dulles to sign it, but, if it were too long and went into
too much detail, I thought it would be more appropriate to have it signed by Mr.
Wolf. We left the matter that we would look at it when it was written and decide
then who would sign it.
25X1A9a 7. At the request of Congressman Dewey Short of Missouri, I interviewed a
He is 48 years old and is now a GS-11 with the Veterans' Administra-
tion. He has a law degree and some CIC experience during World War II. He is
probably not "suitable for long-term employment with this Agen ." However, I
arranged to have him interviewed by Personnel and someone in shop. I 25X1A
told him that we were not taking on very many people at the moment, appreciated
his interest, and asked him to.fill out papers which we would give active con-
sideration if and when our situation changed.

the statistics which we furnish the National Security Council having to do with
the cost of our Psychological and Intelligence effort. I have asked him to get
this paper ready today if possible.
9. was in to review the agenda for the Career Service Committee.
I told him that, in nor opinion, the last item having to do with "Personnel
Categories" should not be presented to the Career Service Board until the DD/A
was prepared to endorse it and that I had not had time to study it and couldn't
say whether he would endorse it or not. I suggested that he point this out to
Mr. Wolf on Monday with my recommendation that it be deleted from the agenda.
10. of Mr. Becker's office was in to ask my advice on what to do
about Personnel Evaluation Reports made out by Mr. Becker. He said that there
were some of these that Mr. Becker would want reviewed by the Director and others
where he thought this would be unnecessary. I told him that General Smith had
indicated that he did not wish to review these and that I would instruct Personnel
that in these cases, if they were not reviewed by the Director, it was o.k.

President, on the subject of "Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of the

Impose Limitations with regard to Executive Agreements." I handed this to John

grade, which is GS-13.
19. During the past weekend it was necessary to provide clerical, typing, and
reproduction assistance to the DD/P for the preparation of a report to the Jackson
Committee. The individuals rendering this assistance voluntarily worked a great
deal of overtime in order to meet the deadlines. As a result of this.. I forwarded
to Mr. Dulles for signature,1j3 letters of commendation in behalf of these individuals.
20. I submitted our final report to the Inspector General on recommendations
made as a result of his field trip.
