1. Attended Staff meeting. Separate minutes are being prepared.
2. Called Admiral Wenger and pointed out to him that and 25X1A9a
were taking military duty at AFSA. He might find it convenient
and helpful to familarize them with his problems in the field of reporting,
since they were in close contact with me and could keep me advised, Admiral
Wenger indicated that he would do so.
3. During the course of the foregoing discussion, Admiral Wenger
indicated that USIB Directive 43 last paragraph, seemed to him pertinent
to our recent discussions on cooperation between AFSA and the respective
intelligence agencies. I undertook to study this.

25X1 A9a L. Passed on to- m;T comments on draft of
25X1A9a 5. Discussed with and Mr. Dulles the p roblem of
project approval with respect to those projects which were not encompassed
by the revised procedure which, as the Director indicated many times, will
be applicable only to "cold ware or ttOPC-type" projects. Unless there were
to be an hiatus, drafting should start immediately on revised regulations.
25X1A9a - undertook to have his people do this. I also raised with- 25X1A9a
the desirability of havinrr me review the revised procedure to insure that
it would not encompass any of our projects and he undertook to send me a copy,
6, Discussed with Messrs. of OSI various 25X1A9a
matters relating to OSI activities, These include:
25X1A9a a. I approved - proposed reply to be sent by TMir. Pforzheimer
to a staff representative of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy,,
respecting the proposed date of the next report to the Committee,
25X1A9a b. I approved - suggestion that 0SI retain its small committee
relationship with the covert Offices so as to be able to deal with
highly sensitive matters, This was upon condition that he insure
that this group would not deal with matters coming under the
jurisdiction of other DD/I Offices and that appropriate liaison
be set up for such matters. This is to be discussed at the next
meeting with the covert Offices. It should also be raised at
the next IADs meeting.

policy. I suggested that work out some sort of a paper to
insure the type of dissemination he desired and assured him that Mr.
25X1A9a of O/CI, who is currently reviewing intelligence support for
the covert offices, would be glad to assist him in working out any desired
25X1A9a directive. When Y desires to go ahead on this he will phone me
and I shall alert

8. Attended meeting in Mr. Sheldonts Office, at which were present
from F1 (representing all DD/P Offices) and
Messrs. Sheldon, Amory, representing DD/I 25X1A9a
Offices. The subject of discussion was cormnunz.ca ions over-seas, by cable
and otherwise. After considerable discussion, it was agreed that direct
communication, with copy to FI, would be agreeable for non-operational
matters relating to substantive intelligence. It was agreed by all that
all administrative matters would c]e ar through DD/P Divisions. It was
recognized that there would be times when it was difficult to determine
whether or not a particular matter which, on its face, appeared to relate
solely to substantive intelligence had a direct connection with operations.
We, on our part; undertook to be alert to consult FI in order to insure, so
far as possible, that we were not dealing with operational matters. It was
made plain to the nD/P representatives, however, that we regarded direct
communication on substantive intelligence as a matter of importance to the
DD/I Offices, and that this was particularly applicable to matters coming
within the cognizance of the Watch Committee, where time was of the essence.
We could not tolerate the interposition of any additional Link in that
particular chain. As a separate matter, I explained to 25X1A9a
merely -a covert Station Chief. We felt that, in theory, he represented the
DCI and all CIA and did not agree with the covert Officest concept that no
overt activities reporting directly thru Senior Representative to DD/I
could be established under a Senior Representative over-seas. As to that
particular subject, however, we made it plain that we would deal with DD/P
and DCI.
that we did not regard a Senior Representative over-seas as
