DIARY NOTES
25X1 A DD/S
21 October 1964
1. I talked to Dr. Tietjen again this morning about the possibility of
more active participation by him in the Intelligence Community effort.
Following an earlier discussion with Bob Bannerman, it seemed to me that
the Agency has unique experience and expertise in the screening and han-
dling of personnel for sensitive intelligence work. It seems obvious that
no one else in the Intelligence Community can offer us any competition and
that, even if they had the knowledge, they might be prevented by regulation
or law from giving proper attention to these cases. I asked John to give
some thought to this suggestion while he is on his. trip and to see whether he
could come forward with some concrete propo sal wherein we might be able
to offer the benefit of our experience and expertise to the Community with
the possible ultimate objective of developing higher and more uniform
standards throughout the Community. He was appreciative of this sugges-
tion and said that he certainly would give it some more thought. (I also
want to discuss this idea with General Carter.)
2. Bob Bannerman, Howard Osborn, and I discussed the Department of
State's interest in starting a polygraph program. We all agreed that we
could not under any circumstances polygraph Department of State applicants
or employees for them but that we should offer assistance in the develop-
ment of a program. To this end, I undertook to invite Bill Crockett, Dwight
Porter, and Marv Gentile out for lunch, at which time we could discuss this
subject.

pretty dead for the moment. In this connection, they have discussed
with the WE Division the possibility of locating a base in or

4. I asked whether the Director had any particular re-
action to John Tiet en s suggestion that a psychiatric study be made to see
whether presidential assassins or would-be assassins fall into any given
pathological category and what might be done about it. Walt said that the
memorandum had been received but had been given to who is
assisting the Director on the President's Committee on the Warren Report.
The Director has not seen John's memorandum yet, but Walt anticipated
that he would see it in due course. (I passed this on to John Tietjen.)
5. elephoned to say that he had been invited by DD/P
to submit nominations for promotion to su ergrade. In the course of re-
viewing his files, he noted that as been in grade for eleven
years and said that he would like to recommend Mul for promotion to grade
GS-16. He thought that Mul is very deserving at this point in time. I told
Glenn that his recommendation was very much appreciated and was very
timely inasmuch as we are considering people for promotion from grade
GS-15 to GS-16 and Mul is in the zone of consideration.
