Executive Officer, DD/I
Monday, 15 December 1952
25X1A9a 1. Aiteszcled H"r briefing in the Office of Logistics, a
meeting attended by about twenty of the senior members of the DD/P and
25X1A9aDD/A complexes. 0 RR accompanied me. Followin the
25X1 A9ameeting, I arranged with that a copy of report,25X1 A9a
together with all of the papers and background matter brought back by
him, be sent to us for coordination and ultimate filing in Industrial
25X1A9aegistry. has asked that these papers be sent to the
Registry through him so that he may make extracts as he sees fit.
2. On Saturday I reviewed the Black Book of Projects prepared by
25X1A9allllllllllllllllllll11and found that many of them have progressed beyond the status
reflected in the book. I discussed these today with-and he tells 25X1A9a
me that some time this week he expects to bring most of these up to date.
I suggested that A'/DD/I might like to have a brief paragraph on each so
25X1 A9ahat his stewardship might be passed back to Urith an indication
of accomplishment.
25X1A9a 3. 5X1A9a
DAD/CD, called stating that 0/IC, has
requested Moreau to a_pproach the DCI for CIA's position in meeting or
Itaw, turning down a SRE request for IAC-Li5/30. Both Army and Navy have turned
25X1A9a0-wn this request. -and I discussed, at some length, in light of
25X1A9a earlier discussion with me (EO/DD/I Diary, L. December) and
decided that nothing useful is gained through CIA taking a position.
We decided there was no point in bothering the DCI in the face of the
turn-doti^,rn by the two Services.
Li.. Discussed, with T&-. Sheldon, the Admiral
22 December. I informed .Ar. Sheldon that
the Admiral at 3:15 and take him to the DD
Es e briefing on
will pick up 25X1A9a
P area for their briefing.
Thus it is unnecessary for Sheldon to include that information $n the
DD/P chat during his 1 hours with Admiral Espee. Mr. Sheldon will
25X1A9a check as to SI clearance with a view to inviting Gen.
25X1A9a to sit in on the O CI briefing. will join the 25X1A9a
group in the Director's dining room.
25X1A9a
called to say that his staff study on the "Idea
Officer" has cleared through Administration Building and he is still
somewhat concerned lest the DD/P decide to place this function in one
y of the Divisions rather than on one of his own staffs. I told 25X1A9a
that should this appear to be developing if he will let me know, we will
look into the advisability of pointing out to DD/P that we feel the
importance requires that it be handled at the highest possible level.
25X1A9a 25X1A9a 25X1A6a
6. 00, called to say that the
is taking care of entrance through Customs. I told Delaney that
I would make no other arrangements and leave the entire matter in his
hands. I also asked him that if either xr. Amory or I go up to meet Mir.

wouldn't be possible to nominate the individual to handle this now. I
checked with at some length, and found that in his opinion,
the whole matter is extremely confusing, will ultimately involve many of
the IADs is already involving DD/p and might, in time, involve the IAC.
25X1 A9a recommends a full study between now and our deadline of 29
December. I so informed - and he agreed to release the acknowledgment
