DIARY NOTES
DD/S 12 March 1964
1. This morning I talked to Bud Wheelon about General Carter's instruc-
tions to me to have a fresh look at all contracting, including that of OSA.
Bud was reluctant to do this at this time because of so many other problems
within NRO. He asked if I felt that I had to proceed immediately. I told him
that I did unless General Carter would agree to a postponement. In my
presence Bud telephoned General Carter and requested permission to defer
any examination of this matter for "a week or two pending settlement of the
NRO problem." General Carter said that he thought Bud was pretty optimistic
if he thought that this problem would be settled in a week or two, but he did
agree to defer any further consideration of this matter until he returns from
his trip.
2. I reviewed with Bob Fuchs and their proposed reorganization 25X1 A9a
of the Office of Finance, which will take p ace co cident with their move to
2430 E Street. I approved of their recommendations subject, of course, to the
usual classification survey.
3. I cleared with Jack Farman and Mr. Kirkpatrick a memorandum for
General Carter's signature to the Director of Personnel regarding "problem
people." If General Carter signs this memorandum, I propose to distribute
it to the Deputy Directors to put them on notice that the Director of Personnel
has been charged with moving in on these problem cases.
4. The briefing today by the Technical Division of the Office of Security
was not very productive; in fact, it was so unsatisfactory that I asked them
25X1A to come back again when they are better prepared.
25X1A9a 5. I met with Emmett Echols, and to 25X1A9a
discuss interracial marriages of app icants for the JOT Program. Tom was
adamantly opposed to accepting Negroes with white wives, and I agreed to defer
accepting or declining any additional applicants of this kind for a week or ten
days. (However, the more we talked about it, the more I became convinced
that this is not an insurmountable problem. The colored JOT with a white wife
might well be unacceptable under official cover, but this certainly would not
rule out his being placed overseas in an unofficial cover position.)

6. John Tet jen telephoned to say that he had briefed Mr. Kirkpatrick
on son. He strongly recommended against acceptance for the 25X1 A9a
JOT Program, and Kirk has deferred his decision. John anticipated that he
might grant a waiver, but in any case there is no action for us to take until
Kirk makes some decision.
