DIARY NOTES
DDS 27 June 1961
25X1A9a
25X1A9a 1 ? and I met with - and talked about his T/O and per-
sonnel ceiling. It was my feeling that the T/O which Joe proposed was reasonable
insofar as our crystal ball could tell us at this point in time and that only time will
tell whether it was proper in all respects. I therefore authorized the approval of
25X9 a T/O including five positions to be trans -
ferred from the DD/I. We must also ensure that the number of ceiling positions of
the Management Staff and its budget are adequate to take care of the redistributed
functions of the Management Staff, including the newly created Automatic Data Proc-
25X1A9a essing Staff.
2. telephoned to say that they had identified $500,000 which could
be obligated during Fiscal Year 1961 and withdrawn from the Fiscal Year 1962 budget.
I told him to go ahead, and Jim Garrison has assured me that most of this can be put
across the line prior to 1 July.
3. Jim Garrison advised me that there is a problem with the Naval Reserve
Unit which he thinks we should look into right away. While I do not know the specif-
ics, according to Jim a Navy Reservist in CIA is pretty well written off and has little
chance of receiving the benefits which other Naval Reservists receive. I want to
have the Military Personnel Division explore this and see whether there is anything
that we can do.

4. Otto Guthe and have both talked to me separately about the
problems which they are having with the General Accounting Office in ORR. Otto feels
that to allow GAO full access to ORR would reveal a substantial amount of information
about our clandestine activities. I told him and that if this were, in fact, the
case we, of course, would draw the curtain IdWe
ground rules. However, I em-
phasized to both of them that clandestinity and not classification per se was the criter-
ion and that they should lean over backwards to comply fully with the spirit of our
ground rules.
5. Jim Garrison telephoned to say that he needed $25,000 more in order to award
25X1 A6a a contract for the construction I told him to go ahead and on 28 June I
signed a paper confirming this oral approval.
