1. Reviewed with Messrs. Reber and Sheldon the area familiarization
program. After some discussion, Mr. Sheldon undertook to review this program
with the objective of relating it, so far as possible, to specific tasks and
also to scheduled trips with some concern for the number of people going to
particular places during a particular period. It was also agreed that some of-
the engaged in this program would not require 25X1 C4a
25X1 C4a in which event they would not have to be reported to the various
a e an CIA field offices. I called attention to the need for conducting
such a program with restraint and with due concern to actual needs.
2. Reviewed General Magruder's redraft of the Brownell directive
and later phoned him and expressed my pleasure at the extremely constructive
work that had been done. My only suggestion was to repeat a prior suggestion
affecting the position of a reference to NSCID No. 5, and General Magruder
indicated that this change would be made since his failure to include it had
been due to inadvertence. With respect to the provision relating to the DCI's
position vis-a-vis the special committee of the NSC, General Magruder informed
me in confidence that this provision would be acceptable to Secretary Lovett,
if the words "advise and" were deleted. I assured him that this would be
entirely satisfactory to us and later confirmed this with the DCI and so
informed Magruder. I also informed General Magruder of the agreed language
on the definition of AFSA's mission, which, by this time, had been agreed to
by AFSA, State and CIA.
3. Reported briefly to DCI on the status of the Brownell directive
and indicated my general acceptance of the provisions presently approved by
Secretary Lovett. State is preparing a form for submission to its Secretary
and the remaining step is for Lovett and Acheson to reconcile any incon-
sistencies in the State and Defense views. This will probably be done next
week.

4.- Requested 0/0 to alert to any Soviet or other
broadcasts or publications relating to the treatment of Moslems within the
Soviet Bloc. I requested that this watch be kept for one month, with special
weekly reports, including negative reports. At the end of next week would be
timely for the first such report.
5. Advised the DCI that if he were not required to be in
Philadelphia on that date, I would place before him on Monday morning an
agreed form of the summary evaluation paper,

6. Spoke by phone with who indicated that, although
25X1A9a both -and he approved of the objectives of the microfilm unit in
25X1A6 - was going to recommend against it on the ground that the T/O
25X1A6a of should not be increased at this time. I indicated that
I understood why he felt impelled to take this position and further
indicated that I was prepared to support the unit on its merits.
