1. Had lunch with Matt Baird who says he has been trying to reduce his 1957 oper-
ating costs by ten per cent in order to absorb the additional requirements which he will
have in Fiscal Years 1958 and 1959. He is quite unhappy about the possibility of having to
do this however since he has just been briefed by the He feels very strongly that
the is a competitor---and a very expensive one at at- -and that it is hardly fair for
him to reduce by ten per cent when they seem to be operating on quite a lavish scale. I
tried to explain to him that the DD/P area was short some $19, 500, 000 for Fiscal Year
1958, that I didn't see how they could afford to operate on a lavish scale anywhere, and
that this should not influence his efforts to try to economize in every possible way. How-
ever, I do believe that it would be worthwhile for some objective group to stud carefully
the possibility of combining at least some of the functions carried on at the with the
Office of Training. 25X1A8a
inally estimated. I told Ken that I wouldn't quibble about this if it was due entirely to the
change in the value of currency, but emphasized that if the money was not obligated from
Fiscal Year 1957 funds a new look would be required to use Fiscal Year 1958 funds. He

3. George Carey telephoned about the airconditioning in the -room at the
Matomic Building and said that the Office of Logistics had been dragging its feet on this
for many months. I telephoned and told him to get the matter straightened
out right away one way or another. Larry Houston advised me later that he thought we
could do this under our authority; however, I am still waiting for a report from the Of-
fice of Logistics.

25X1 A9a 6. Met with Gordon Stewart, Larry Houston, and 25X1 A9,
25X1 A9a concerning the cage. Gordon had recommended that this case be put before a
board. Our discussion developed that the Office of Personnel had not really developed all
of the evidence in the case and their reason for wanting a board was to do this. We de-
cided that the Office of Personnel should develop the evidence and that we should defer any
decision as to whether a board should be appointed pending an analysis of the evidence ob-
tained.
