1. Conferred with , reporting aboard as Chief of 0hina Research
for 0/RR. Gave him permission to clean up his DD/P activities, using such time,
in the next month, as his own discretion indicated.
Attended IAC meeting which approved Special Estimate on Albania and Pro-
25X1A2g ject It was decided to release neither of these to the
25X1 X7 Later, following up on this matter with regard to NIMMOMPI suggest26X1 A2g
to DCI that it would be inadvisable to let the of last September gc25X1Xi
completely unanswered as our silence might be treated as assent in discussions at
the policy level. He agreed to my.suggestion that an informal memorandum be pre1A2c
25X1A9a pared for use which would include the gist of -without disclos
its existence as an independent paper.
3. As per instruction, DCI at morning meeting and the IAC meeting, laid-on
25X1A2g - to be prepared in a week or ten days in very brief form. Coordination

would be achieved, if possible, otherwise the resulting paper would go to
Council as a CIA contribution.

4. reported that Macy of the Budget had come from a flappy conference
at State where Henderson had indicated that 37 million American dollars was needed
in the immediate future (i.e., part now and balance by end of FY 1953)Q- /fn order
to implement the Gutt recommendations and counter the unstable public reaction
when Mossadeq's inflationary steps were disclosed. Macy is fishing around the
Government to find what funds are available and wished to know what we could do.
After checking briefly with DCI and DD/A, told him that on proper NSC directive,
CIA would be prepared to seek release of its reserve to whatever extent needed,
subject to reimbursement, if needed.
At DCI directive, called Armstrong because of our complaint at the lack
5
.
of cable information received by CIA on the Acheson-Eden talks in Paris. Armstrong
later called back to say that during the period of Mr. Acheson's stay in Paris,
there had been sent a total of 26 messages of which 19 had been sent to us in
standard form and 7 on the sensitive arran;ement. Apparently, with all the travelling
the Department kept itself informed more orally `r
