DIARY NOTES FOR COLONEL WHITE
A-DD/S J- Wednesday, 7 August 1963
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting:
25X1A
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
a. Colonel Ledford noted two more cases of foreign objects in the
OXCART vehicles which were giving.them concern. He also reported
that the entire Air Staff still is planning to go out to see a maiden flight
of an interceptor early next week. General. Carter expressed serious
concern regarding the dangers of publicity and security leaks resulting
from any such gathering of service brass at this covert site.
b. John Bross reported that Kermit Gordon, Director of the Bureau
of the Budget, had written a letter to General Carter enclosing a list of
suggested actions which the Agency should take to further alleviate the
outflow of gold. The Bureau wants to withhold something over $2 million
of our Fiscal Year 1964 allocation for a variety of specific items. The
DD/S will be directly concerned with three of these items, i.e., world-
of administrative personnel. Later in the day I discussed this letter with
and it was also taken up at the meeting of the Financial
Policy & Budget Committee. John Bross agreed that _ should work 25X1 A9a
on our behalf wit to prepare substantive reports for General
Carter's consideration. The method of replying to the letter, whether by
oral briefing or letter, would have to be determined when the facts were
pulled together.)
2. We canceled the DD/S Staff Meeting scheduled for today.
25X1A9a
25X1 A9a 3. John Tietjen had no business to bring up at his scheduled Medical Briefing,
but we did talk over the telephone about Dr John said that he and _
had had a pleasant conversation on Friday and they had agreed it would be most
hasty to make any decision at this time. They will continue their discussions
25X1 A9a when returns from vacation on 19 August; however, he is still firm in his
decision not to sign any "pay-back" agreement.
4. There was nothing of immediate concern to the DD/S at the DD/P Staff
Meeting. Dick Helms mentioned the organizational changes involved in the establish-
ment of the DD/S&T and remarked that still other things might be going to Bud Wheelon,
25X1 A2d 1 such as and parts of TSD.

5. At the Financial Policy & Budget Committee Meeting (in addition to the
Bureau of the Budget letter referred to above) we had presentations of Fiscal
Year 1964 external research programs conducted by ORR and OSI. The amount
involved in ORR is only $413, 000, but it seemed as though some of these pro-
grams were rather esoteric. The OSI FY 64 external research program woul
25X1A1a
Here again, the projects seemed pretty far-reaching and the Committee had
difficulty in establishing just who were the customers for the work and it was
not clear whether some other Agency could be doing the job.

7. In preparation for a meeting with Mr. Kirkpatrick, et al,. on the subject
of an Agency scholarship program, I assembled some data concerning similar
activities elsewhere from the Civil Service Commission, the Foreign Service
Association and the Department of Justice. The two latter organizations have
experience in this field which offers us useful guidance. (More laleron this.)
8. See Item 6, notes for Monday, 5 August. I talked with - today, 25X1 A9a
and the problem is essentially as we surmised, but is of no great importance.
Joe habitually suspects the worst when anything is published and is distributed to
anyone in the DD/P, regardless of subject matter, without his prior knowledge and
blessing. We agreed that Employee Bulletins of a purely informational nature
(as 98(70 are) will continue to be issued as heretofore, i.e., without coordination.
