DIARY NOTES
DD/S
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning:
2. 1 approved of I going to Saigon to replace
19 February 1964
b. Dick Helms advised the Director that the FBI had requested that we
polygraph an informant in the Oswald case. We agreed to do so provided
that the informant, who is now in Mexico City, would be brought to Texas
for the interrogation. (Bob Bannerman knows about this.)
c. General Carter requested information on the article in this morning's
Washington Post headlined "Secret Army Satellite Pinpoints Earth Sites."
We furnished him a memorandum on this subject in the course of the day.
being sent home for medical reasons. I questioned the advisability of
dependents accompanying him; in fact, I questioned the advisability of anybody
taking his dependents, but there has been no Agency ban placed upon this to date.
at will be taken up tomorrow morning by a new committee which has been set up
to consider the evacuation of dependents from Saigon.)
3. I told Bob Fuchs that he should plan to establish a central travel bureau
and that we would somehow find enough space in the Headquarters building to ac-
commodate this office.
4. John Tietjen was in to talk with me about a number of things:
a. John reported that he has had several sessions with
and that he hoped they had been useful. He has taken as his personal

patient, and it seemed to me that John is going out of his way to ensure
that0 gets the very best of treatment.
b. John reported that recently we have had a few cases in which JOT
wives were considered unsuitable for certain overseas assignments. (I
don't know just what to do about this problem because it raises a rather
important question. We screen the JOT very carefully when he EOD's,
and he hopefully has every right to expect that there are no restrictions
on where he can go and what he can do. It comes as a great disappoint-
ment to him if we then say that, because his dependents are not emotion-
ally stable, he cannot go to certain foreign countries.)
c. John reported that the Dependent Medical Facility at the Broyhill
Building is operating quite satisfactorily.
d. John also showed me a very praiseworthy commendation of Dr.
hich recommended promotion 25X1A9A
to grade GS-15 .
5. I agreed with Jim Garrison that, if we do not receive a reply to his

6. 1 sat in on the annual Credit Union meeting for a few minutes. There
were less than fifty people in attendance. Inasmuch as this is a $10 million
business with granted each year, I
should like to see a much greater representation iro Agency components and
want to do something special next year to try to bring this about. (See my
memo dtd 20 Feb 64 to D/Per s . )
7. was in to discuss with me a proposal to present a lapel
button to employees when they retire or when they receive their ten-, fifteen-,
or twenty-year service certificates. I said that, while this idea sounded all
right on the surface, there would be many employees who could not now and
should not ever wear this emblem, most of whom would be those who have
served in the Clandestine Services. This would be just one more small item
to hinder General Carter's objective as I understand it; I.e., to make the
Agency more homogeneous. (While I don't have any strong feelings against
the matter, if I were to make the decision I would not go forward with it.)
