DIARY NOTES
DDS
7 July 1961
1. Dick Bissell telephoned advising that he was in complete agreement with the
memorandum which I wrote to the Director concerning the failure of the Bureau of the
Budget to approve of our request for a release from the Contin nc Reserve of
25X1A2D1 $501, 000 to defray certain expenses in connection with Project during the month
of July. We agreed that we should take up this matter at the next Deputies' Meeting
and urge the Director to have a talk with Mr. Bell not only about this particular case
but the Bureau's philosophy in general. Dick feels, as I do, that it is grossly unfair to
other projects and programs to require us to continue on this basis.

3. John Tietjen alerted me that he had disapproved for employment one of the
blind linguists in the -Project. He turned him down for psychological rea-
sons, and from the b e explanation which he gave me I think that he was entirely jus-
tified.
4. I discussed with John the screening of dependents going to 0. He will
start this without delay. However, he wanted me to understand that the Medical Staff
did not propose to do a thorough psychological screening on all dependents; rather, it
will do a thorough psychological screening only on those cases which appear to be
necessary as a result of the more routine examinations.

6. I discussed with General Cabell the impasse between the DD/I and Director
of Security concerning the polygraphing of military personnel assigned to the National
Photographic Interpretation Center. He feels that we should acquaint the Services and
their employees with the fact that no CIA personnel can work in NPIC without having
been polygraphed, that we should request, but not insist, that they comply with the
same standards, and that if in fact they wished to detail members of their organizations
to NPIC without submitting to the polygraph we would permit them to enter on duty pro-
vided their security clearances were acceptable in all other respects.
7. Gates Lloyd and I met with General Cabell and briefed him on my recent con-
25X1A versations with concerning the morale situation in his immediate office.
