He reported that the Assessment and Evaluation Staff and the Psy- chiatric Division had now exchanged briefings and that it was his honest opinion that in the overt and semi-covert fields there were no conflicts or duplications of effort. He still believes that the covert assessment area is the area in which competition is likely to continue and in which it will be most difficult to coordinate thoroughly. However, it is his opinion that the A&E Staff is not, in fact, doing very much in this field at the moment and he believes that Dr. are two personalities that are not likely to have great dif- ficulty about small matters. b. I talked to him about "full-duty/general" having a different meaning for a JOT than it does for the normal employee. His explanation, I thought, was quite logical,sAd t he knows exactly where an employee is going to be used; for example, he might qualify a Communications Technician for "full- duty/general" whereas he would be reluctant to qualify a JOT with the same physical limitations. This, I think, is reasonable and proper and he has agreed to make a presentation to Matt Baird and others if25X1 Aga they so desire. 25X1A9a c. He was highly complimentary o as a result of seeing him in action on his recent trip with General Cabell. 25X1A9a 3. - reported that Mr. Pahl, General Accounting Office, wanted to go much deeper into our activities, particularly in the Finance Division, than we had agreed to let him go. Mr. Pahl is about ready to go back to Mr. Samuelson and report that it is impos- sible to conduct a meaningful audit and to recommend that they pull out the audit team al- 25X1A9a together. (On Wednesday, 6 January, Larry Houston, and I met to discuss this matter and agreed that we would not retreat from our earlier position. However, we all emphasized that we must go out of our way not to withhold things from him that were in support of vouchered activities. In this connection, we agreed tentatively to give him the Audit Manual and to let him see the Audit Report on the Fiscal Division. I also arranged to see Mr. Pahl to talk with him about the over-all approach.) 4. I lunched with Matt Baird and filled him in on my thinking concerning an Executive Development Program within the DD/S area and also discussed the Notice announcing the formulation of an Agency Retirement Board. I told Matt, however, that he should not take any firm position with regard to his people who will be affected until the Retirement Board Aporeth * r Release 2001/03/22 : CIA-RDP76-00183R000300060282-5 Approved For Release 2001/03/22 CIA-RDP76-00183R000300060282-5 25X1A9a 5.

I told him very frankly that I thought this was an extremely bad practice, that I resented it very much and regarded it as an act of non-cooperation with the DD/S rather than coopera- tion. He professed to have handled the matter in this way merely to save my time. I told him that if this were true he could have at least had the courtesy to pick up the squawk box and discuss the matter with me or have sent me a courtesy copy. This encounter concluded by his saying that he thought I was being overly sensitive but if an apology ~' thwere in ink that hi.srapology wasea ncerold if him that it was quite difficult he didn't think that one was in order and that it really didn't mean very much to me. c.

With regard to his major programs in 1960 which will be of primary interest to DD/S, he proposes to undertake immediately a survey of the Agency's training requirements and our ability to meet them. This will include a good hard look at our Language Program. He will also do a survey of the Office of Security, probably starting in the spring. I told him that I would like to consider with him what personnel should do this survey and that there were, fact, parts of Security which I thought I would ask him to do personally. My principle that I do not think it is proper for member become familiar with some activitieswho is going to rotate back to other units carried on by that Office. He understands and will cooperate. His third survey will be of the Office of Logistics which he will start in late summer or fall after the Management Staff has finished their study. f. He also said that he was quite frustrated as Chairman of the Agency ted Manpower Task Force and that he Cabell were in agreement. I explaned and whether the Director and General to him that I did not think we were going to be able to make more than the 3% reduction in DD/S and that, in fact, if the Director approved the new COMINT Close Support Program and the expanded JOT Program, the reduction which we will make by 1 July would be wiped out during 1961 and 1962.
