DIARY NOTES
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning Dick Helms an-
nounced that he had received a call from Bill Crockett at the Department of
State who was in search of a new Director of Security. The Director said
that the Agency should help the Department if we could but that we were
under no pressure to do so if it would be harmful to the Agency. After con-
sultation with Bob Bannerman I notified Dick Helms that we thought
ing with him, he would be willing to consider the position. I also told Dick
that I thought Major General John M. Breight (Retired), who was recently
the Director of the Office of Security Investigations for the Air Force,
might make a good candidate. He was willing to pass along both of these
names.
was qualified for the position and that, if they were interested in talk-
2. 0 was in to advise me that after careful consideration he
thought that he could best serve the Agency at this time by continuing in
his present position as Chief, Audit Staff.
3. Jim Garrison reported that he had had a very encouraging meeting
with the GSA people yesterday about our heating and air conditioning sys-
tems. I asked him to send along a brief memorandum which I could forward
to the front office.
4. Jim Garrison reported that al f the White House
(formerly an Office of Logistics employee) brought all of the necessary
material to our Printing Services Division and requested
that 50, 000 pictures of President Kennedy be made. This will cost us only
about $100 in labor. I told Jim that this was all right but asked him to send
me a copy of the picture so that I could report on this action.
5. I advised Dick Helms that, in addition to the senior executive pay
positions furnished him in my recent memorandum, he still had four
vacant Chief of Station positions. I also told him that if he would stop by
sometime I would be glad to show him the entire list. Dick accepted the
change in Tracy Barnes' status as being entirely proper and asked that the
Office of Personnel take the necessary action. (I asked to do
this.)
