DIARY NOTES
DD/S 31 October 1962
25X1A9a 1 of the Covert Action Staff, DD/P, brought a paper
to me which the joint Chiefs of Staff issued concerning peacetime support for
CIA activities. is studying the paper and will prepare DD/S
25X1A9a comments.)
2. With regard to the McLean Volunteer Fire Department situation,
Larry Houston has advised that he believed we could put a line item in our
budget; and, if approved, we could legally make a contribution to the McLean
Volunteer Fire Department. I have therefore asked to
develop an estimate of what would be a fair contribution, and I have alerted
that we may want to insert this amount in the Fiscal Year 1964
budget.
3.. At Ray Cline's personal request, I approved the installation of a
"call director" on his secretary's desk.
4. telephoned for guidance as to what further distri-
bution show d be made of the procedural guidance for getting priority on tele-
phone lines. I suggested that it have a very limited distribution inasmuch as
it could be misused if it got into the wrong hands.
5. I telephoned Steuart Pittman, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Civil Defense, about the lack of distribution of emergency supplies, which we
are told by the General Services Administration are available in a Washington,
D. C., warehouse but which cannot be distributed without permission from
Mr. Pittman's office. He explained that they were reluctant to stock Govern-
ment buildings until those shelters available to the public had been stocked and
that he thought the whole program would take about six months to complete.
On my insistance, however, he agreed to re-examine the matter and to see if
something couldn't be done to release supplies for high priority Government
buildings such as ours. (The Defense Supply Agency actually has the responsi-
bility for putting the supplies in place, but I gathered that they are governed
by policy guidance issued by Mr. Pittman's office.)
