2. I approved of Dr. Tietjen p with the USPHS to establish medi- 25X1A7b
cal support for all Contact Division and
overt CIA travelers in the United States. The USPHS will also give me ical sup-
port to line-of-duty employees returning from overseas. This is a big step in
our medical support program and there is no indication that we are going to be
asked to pay for the service. Dr. Tietjen fully understands that no commitments
involving transfer of funds are to be made without further approval.

3. Dr. Tietjen, and I discussed Dr. TietJ'en's pro- 25X125X1A9a
ject for medical supplies and it was agreed that would o DD/P
concurrence or comment. Dr. Tietjen assured us that rega ess of the realism
of these estimates none of the supplies he was asking for would be wasted. He
is very convincing and I believe that if the DD/P concurs in the project Dr.
Tietjen has a reasonable chance of selling it to the Project Review Committee.

5. Conferred with General Davison, re-
garding the request of the Office of the Secretary of Defense for more etailed
information concerning our Fiscal Year 1953 IAC personnel requirements. They
asked for a more complete breakdown than we have furnished heretofore, according
to projects where possible. They still say that this is purely for budgetary
purposes but imply that it is their desire to wrap CIA requirements up into one
package. This, coupled with a remark which the G-l budget representative made
to me a few days ago to the effect that he did not understand why CIA did not
reimburse the Arm`y' for our personnel, leads me to believe that there might be
a move in this direction. In this connection, I recommend that you and/or Gen-

While we are going into this re-examination, I think that we should try
to come up with more realistic estimates. Due to the personnel ceiling estab-
lished by the Director we can revise our previous estimates downward without
losing too much face. However, if the Director holds to this ceiling, we cannot
possibly undertake all of the projects envisioned; furthermore, I do not think
that we have the facilities to process anywhere near the number of personnel es-
timated by the end of Fiscal Year 1953. I will pursue this with the Personnel
people. 25X1A9a
6. OPC, was up to talk to me about our request for a date
on which we can expect to receive OPC requirements of the Department of Defense
for Fiscal Years 1953 and 1951. He requests that I arrange for a conference be-
tween representatives of OPC, Procurement, and G-I, Armor, in order to make sure
that we all understand how these are to be submitted. I will do this. Inc-- 25X1A9a
