DL RY NOTES
11 August 1952
1. Talked to about a cable from the Far East on a rather sensi-
tive matter concerning which I have reported to Mr. Wolf. Messrs. 25X1A9a
will get together the first thing tomorrow and decide what to do about this.
2. I asked to continue as Emergency Planning Officer, at least
through next Tues ay, a ch time there is a meeting of the Ad Hoc Ccemmi.ttee; Bill
Peel will also attend this meeting.
3. Spent the morning with and
agreed upon implementing procedures to carry oat our financial arrangements with
their organization. Messrs. Saunders and - are working out the details.25X1A9a

b. Attended Budget Hearings for the and the Office
of Training. Eliminated several telephone opera or positi s from the badgeR5X1A6a
because of the installation of a dial system. The budget, however, remains at ap-
proximately $800,000.
25X1A1a
The Training budget is getting to be very large ... .. and
their revised 1953 estimate will make it necessary for us to free somewhere between
$400,000 to $500,000 from our reserve held by the Bureau of the Budget; Ed Saunders
will have to obtain more details in order to support this budget. One item which
amounts to from $300,000 to $400,000 involves the sending of trainees to foreign
countries for from one to two years of study, during which time they are expected
to learn the languages and areas. We have relatively little control over them.
They are not related in any way to other CIA activities in their areas and we have
no assurance, except oral commitments, that we will ever get return on our invest-
ment. I told Matt Baird that I had no right to question this as a matter of policy
bat that I strongly recommended that he write a staff study for the Director con-
taining DD/I, DD/P, and DD/A concurrences of this program as a matter of policy. He
indicated his willingness to do this.
