DIARY NOTES
DD/S ~7 _~~ 14 September 1962
1. According to there is little chance that General Carter
will release the succession list unless a request should come from a very high
level in the Office of Emergency Planning.
2. I have asked to advise me whether General Carter has
made any decision in connection with the contracting responsibility of the Office of
Special Activities, DD/R.
3. 1 spoke to John Tietjen about issuing some sort of notice regarding pre-
cautions our employees should take in connection with the threatened spread of
Asian flu this fall. He advised me that a notice had been drafted and was en route.
4. Jim Garrison reported that, effective 17 September, there will be a
systematic schedule of inspections of the entire building at Langley. He also
reported that in looking into this matter he discovered that the General Services
Administration has an authorization of 100 people to take care of this building.
They have only 89 people on duty, and at the moment an average of 15 are on leave
each day.
5. Jim Garrison advised me that the Office of Security decided today that
they wanted to change some metal on the inside of the incinerator at
The contractor said that this would delay activation of the incinerator by eight
weeks. I therefore told Jim not to make the change.
6. Inasmuch as Shef Edwards has advised me that he definitely plans to 25X1A9a
retire not later than 30 June 1963, I talked separately with and with
him this morning to request that they think about who will fill the vacancies generated
by Colonel Edwards` departure. I asked them, without consulting each other, to make
a plan (a) assuming that Bob will take Shef's job, (b) assuming that Bob would be
assigned elsewhere and would not be available to take Shef's job, and (c) repeating
exercises outlined in (a) and (b) above assuming that the vacancies created by Shef
and Bob are to be filled by personnel who are not now in the Office of Security.
7. I asked to give me a brief factual statement on when General
=will reach mandatory retirement age, his entitlements, etc.
