Although he has received other offers, he is interested in the possibility of
returning to the Agency. I told him that I didn't have any job for him in my
own area of responsibility but thati would inquire around to see whether any-
one else did. I said that I would call him early next week. (I remember
him well and favorably, and he might do very well indeed in NIPE or BPAM
if they wish to bring in someone at his level. I will mention this to John
Bross and John Clarke.)
2. I met with Alan Warfield and to talk about the pro-
ceedings of the CIA Retirement Board to date. I gathered that the DD/P
members, 1 :1 and Jim Critchfield, have been arguing for extreme
flexibility which would allow the individual employee to decide whether he
would earn his retirement credit under the new system or the old Civil
Service system. I expressed my opinion, with which I believe Alan and
Harry agreed, that, while I was certainly in favor of flexibility, I felt that
the options should be decided by the Agency and not the individual. It
seems clearer all the time that many DD/P people will try to find some
way to avoid retirement rather than take advantage of the opportunity to
retire when they are eligible. In the light of the presentations which we
made to Congress to get this legislation, it seems to me that the Agency
has a real obligation to insist that most people who are eligible to retire
under the new system do so whether they like it or not.
3. Alan Warfield,

manual typewriters. 25X1A2D2

(Apparently this is being corrected now, but I should like
to look into this to find out what happened and why SOD went off half-
cocked on this story.)
d. Most of the briefing was taken up with a discussion of the pro-
posed reorganization of the Office of Logistics. The major feature
would be the establishment of a new Control Division, which they be-
lieve would eliminate a tremendous amount of duplication and paper
work within the Office of Logistics. I think that they are on the right
track in streamlining the organization. I encouraged them to proceed
but to make sure that they test their new organization theory before
they make the changeover since the change is a rather major one and
service to the Agency must not deteriorate. They also proposed to
transfer the Passenger Movement Branch to the Central Processing
Branch of the Office of Personnel. I think that this probably makes a
great deal of sense. The only reason it has not been done before has
been the very strong argument by the Office of Logistics that it could
not be done this way. Alan and George, however, are in sharp dis-
agreement with this position. They will send forward a specific pro-
posal in this regard.
e. Alan reported that the Project
has now been eliminated and that the entire facility is being. operated
locally.
4. Vice President Humphrey visited the Headquarters building this
afternoon for a briefing, and those who attend the Executive Committee
Meeting were invited to join him and the Director for coffee. The briefing
must have gone well; the Vice President was very enthusiastic in his sup-
port of the Agency. I personally found his enthusiasm and his personality
in general most attractive.
5. I talked with Mr. Kirkpatrick about the following items:
a. I talked with Kirk' about changing the name of the JOT Program.
He was fully satisfied that we should change the name of the program to

"Career Training Program" and the participants to "Career Trainees.
I shall therefore proceed with this change without further delay.
b. I talked with Kirk about John Macy's invitation to the Agency
to send someone to a Brookings Institution program in New York City
and Pittsburgh from 10 to 21 May. He thought that this individual
should come from the Support Directorate and authorized me to
nominate anyone I saw fit. He rather encouraged me to participate
in the program myself; I will consider it.
6. I talked with Mr. Kirkpatrick about our scheme to spread the
Agency briefing officer's workload among several people in the Office of
Training as phases out of this job. Kirk approved of this
and felt quite strongly that this function should not be transferred to the
Office of Central Reference. He fully supported our idea to refer all re-
quests for speakers to one focal point.
