DIARY NOTES

2. Dwight Porter, Assistant Secretary of State for Administration,
telephoned to discuss the following items
a. He said that he understood we had recruited more communica-
tors than we could use and that ould like to hire those
we can't bring on board for the Department of State. I told him that I
approved of this wholeheartedly, not only because it would help them
but also because we don't like to turn down any fully-qualified young
man after we have him all cranked up to enter on duty.
b. Dwight also said that he will leave his position within a week
or two to prepare himself for his new assignment as Ambassador to
Lebanon. Ambassador Meyer, who is now in Beirut, will replace
Julius Holmes, the retiring Ambassador to Iran. Tom Beale will take
over from Dwight as Acting Assistant Secretary for Administration.
At the moment Bill Crockett is not going anywhere and does not wish
to appoint a permanent replacement for Dwight until he has decided
whether or not to make any organizational changes. Dwight will be
at the Headquarters building for some briefings prior to his departure
and promised to get in touch with me at that time so that we can have
lunch together.
3. John Clarke talked with me about his concern over our use of the
Director's authority to spend even more money than is in the Agency's
budget. (This has been bothering Larry Houston and others for some time.)
I agreed that he should ask Mr. Kirkpatrick to set up a small task force
composed of a representative from the Offices of Finance, BPAM, and the
General Counsel to look into this problem and come up with specific recom-
mendations.

25X1A9a has been doin on the FAN system and the work he is now
25X1A9a doing with the Actually, there is no conflict but just too
much work for one man. We agreed that Ralph should continue with the
25X1 A9a FAN system and its related activities and tha should be 25X1 A9a

asked him to give some consideration to the question of whether =should 25X1A8b
rotate some Office of Trainin araili ple into their system and
whether the young PM types are of JOT caliber. If not, 25X1A8b
why not; and if so, why shou t t ey be recruited through the JOT Program?
Jack was very interested in this and said that he would certainly explore it.
6. At the Executive Committee Jigg=g this morning Dick Helms said
that he had received a call fro n Saturday, 13 February, about
who is apparently a hot-shot in the field of manufacturing
proper guidance since the Office of Communications and the Technical
Services Division are both good customers for the kind of equipment which
he handles. General Carter told Larry Houston to get right on top of the
situation and to make sure that we handle the case well.
7. I briefed Mr. Kirkpatrick on my recent talk with Matt Baird about
his retirement plans. Kirk appeared to be completely unenthusiastic about
making the Chairmanship of the Training Selection Board a full-time job.
In any case, he promised to fill me in after he and Matt return from their
trip to Princeton.

8. I talked with Dr. Tietjen, Larry Houston, and Paul Chretien about
25X1A9a
Review un panning our testing procedures. These
discussions were prompted by Paul's memorandum about an inquiry he re-
ceived from the Civil Service Commission, which had been asked by Senator
Edward Kennedy to evaluate these testing procedures. We agreed that Paul
should ask the Civil Service Commission to tell Senator Kennedy that this
young lady was an applicant for a position in this Agency but that, since they
have no jurisdiction over the Agency, they cannot evaluate our testing pro-
cedures. We should not volunteer to brief Senator Kennedy but will be pre-
pared to do so if he requests further information from us.
