DIARY NOTES
DD/S 12 February 1965
1 . telephoned about the chairs which I approved yesterday
for the on erence Room. On second thought, I don't know whether
it will be possible for us to buy these chairs even if we want to. I told George
to purchase them if it could slide through GSA without a ripple but that, if any
questions are asked, they should back off immediately and report to me.
2. I talked to about having 'it in
on Department of IN meetings concern g t e evacuation f e am.
Both thought that this was a fine idea, and Bill will lay it on with Marshall
Jones, Executive Director of the Bureau of Far Eastern Affairs of the Depart-
ment of State.

a. They expressed their opinion that there would be a very substantial
saving in manpower if we were not required to maintain separate systems
for vouchered and unvouchered funds. In discussing the matter, we all
remembered that we had made this decision when the General Accounting
Office pulled out altogether and left the entire audit up to CIA. I believe
that we did this so that, if the GAO audit ever resumed, they could start
auditing the vouchered side with no difficulty. Since GAO originally per-
formed the audit at the invitation of the Agency and if, in fact, there are
substantial savings to be made, I question whether we are justified in
maintaining two sets of books. In any case, I asked that a staff study
on this subject be prepared for policy consideration.
b. I also discussed with Ralph and Fred the conflict between Ralph's
former duties in develo in the FAN system and those he now has in con-
nection with the We all agreed that both these chores were
important and that it would be impossible for one man to do both. Sam
in the Office of Budget, Program Analysis and
Manpower and the Office of Computer Services make up
the team which has worked with Ralph on the FAN system. It seemed
to make more sense to let Ralph continue with this system and to get
somebody else to work with the in the

Office of Finance was thought to be well qualified to work with the-

good candidate to work with Ralph or whoever is pushing the FAN system.
(I want to talk with John Clarke and Bob Fuchs about this sometime very
soon.)

4. telephoned regarding the following:
a. He said that mother had died and that Hugh was
en route home. The burial will be tomorrow, and George is doing the
necessary insofar as flowers, etc., are concerned.
b. George inquired about whether a decision had been made about
General Cabell, and I told him that policy approval for his appointment
as a member of the Board of Directors had been obtained and that I would
ask Bob Bannerman to see that this is raised at the Board meeting next
Tuesday, 16 February.

5. I talked with about any possible re-
quirement for real estate and received negative responses. Therefore, I
think that I can tell General Cabell that we have no requirement for-
