cases to give parties for their own employees, particularly new arrivals. It was agree
that this was entirely inconsistent with the spirit of the instructions permitting him to en-
tertain Americans and that he should be told to stop this without further delay. h At
also they have been charging salaries of servants to Station
overhead. This also is wrong and must be stopped. However, this is a problem which
I found on my recent trip to be generally misunderstood and we are in the process of pre
paring instructions which will make it very clear as to what charges should be made against
representation as opposed to operations.
3. John Tietjen brought over for a few minutes. I was
well impressed with both of them. - is at the monent in charge of our Psychiatric
Program and he impresses me as being a very mature and level-headed individual around
whom we might rebuild our organization. I also discussed with. John the use of-
as a consultant. - with, the people in DD/I where he has been carying on a group therapy
program;, decided, without consultation with Dr. Tietjen, that the program would be dis-
continued for the summer. Tietjen proposes to re-evaluate this program. and possibly not
renew it in the Fall. I told him by,all means to do this and to discuss the matter with Bob
Amory. I, personally, do not think this program is worthwhile and unless Amory insists
we whould terminate it. I told John, however, that we should not terminate ~s a
consultant too abruptly. There is a distinct likelihood that-will fight our program from
the outside and I impressed John that we must for some considerable time to come keep him
as a consultant and send him a patient now and then in order to minimize the chances of his
moving against us on the outside. In the long view, however, I think it is definitely in our
best interests to discontinue his services.

5. and I met with the Director and Fred King to discuss a proposed
change in the building plans. Specifically, Harrison & Abramovitz now proposes to
eliminate the enclosed above-ground cordidor from the bus stop in front of the building and
substitute an underground corridor from the building to the auditorium. While I think putting
the corridor underground will improve the appearance of the building and should not be
anymore expensive we made it clear that we wanted to corridor to run all the way to the
bus stop and that we did not want the busses loading and unloading immediately in front
of the building. The Director left the final decision in this matter to me and I requested
to study it further with Harrison & Abramovitz.
