1. I entertained General William Harris, Deputy Commanding General

c. The Director asked Sherman Kent to examine Marguerite Higgins'
article in last night's Washington Star to see whether it appeared that she
might have talked with someone who had read a recent SNIE. (I passed
this on to Howard Osborn.)

staff, when he retires from the Army this summer. (I talked to John
about this. He said that he would talk to Ting Sheldon and would be
in touch with me.)
b. General Carter also advised me that he had requested a series
of CIA briefings for senior NSA personnel and that he hoped I would take
a personal interest in them and ensure that we use top-level speakers.
I assured him that I would look into this. (This I have done.)

4. telephoned to say that the Director found the list of per-
sonnel detailed to the White House satisfactory and intended to use it on an
appropriate occasion to impress McGeorge Bundy with the amount of assistance
we are rendering.
5. was in for a short
25X1A6a
visit. He expressed no dissatisfaction with the support he has received.
However, I gathered that he feels - has been understaffed with

competent Support people. He mentioned that we had been unable to furnish
a doctor who would be placed under and that he planned to talk

25X1 A9a 9. telephoned to give me some very rough cost estimates
on the house t e Director wants to build which added up to about $120, 000
plus. He admitted, however, that this figure was probably quite low and
recommended that the Director employ a good architect to produce detailed
plans. He also thought that a good architect might effect some savings by
using good substitute materials for some of those the Director said he
wanted.
10. I talked with both John Tietjen and Bob Fuchs about the
case. It is still too soon to make a decision on this, but I gathere from
John that he tentatively thinks the problem could be handled better in the

spect, John felt that, had the Medical Staff been more aggressive, _ 25X1 A9a

this case at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow.
