General Smith directed me to plan his strategy in obtaining the building with the Bureau of the Budget. Broadbent was to talk to Staats either L. or 5 However, he finally accepted my recommendation that we attempt to get the Navy Building now since we can't request money for a new building 3. I have had several talks with the Director, and Mr. Broadbent of the Bureau of the Budget and Mr. Ziernicki of PBS reference trying to get the Navy Building. Due to the long delay involved, the Director gave some consideration to renewing our efforts to get a new building. IL. We have also had several discussions with the Bureau of the Budget reference super-grades. The Director has just a roved my staff study on super-grades which provides for a ceiling of Mr. Lawton of the Bureau of the Budget has indicated his informal approval with the understanding that any increases above this figure would be cle ared with the Bureau of the Budget.

He has told me to discuss this with the Bureau of the Budget. I have not yet had an opportunity to do so. 5?

Dr. Tietjen disapproved for a two-year overseas 25X1A9a assignment.

This is not $nal, however, since if John is to go and fully understands the circumstances, as does his wife, it might be just as well to go ahead and send him on FCS now. In this connection, however, when I told General Smith that was go, he expressed a 25X1A9a preference for an sai that John was a little "light" for this assignment. This is fairly delicate in that I have already made a commitment to John. 7. was discussed at the DD's meeting this morning, and the Director indicated very positively that he would not approve of his becoming administrative officer for _ 8.
