1. II of FI phoned and stated that somebody in the Air Force
had indicated a desire to bring over a General Canterbury, new Chief of
AFOAT I, to see one of the CIA Deputies, and an approach had been made to Mr.
Wisner's office. He suggested that I chat with Canterbury and I indicated
that this would be satisfactory. Later spoke to Dr. Chadwell and requested him
to get in touch with the Air Force on this.
Mr. Houston reported on the current situation
and, after some discussion, the DCI instructed me to proceed to New
York with Mr. Houston in order to consult General Donovan. In New York we
outlined the facts to General Donovan and requested that he undertake the appeal
on behalf of CIA. Subject to a more detailed examination of the facts and the
law, General Donovan undertook to do this as a public duty and designated Mr.
Doering to assist him on this appeal. Mr. Houston undertook to prepare a
consolidated memorandum of law and facts and also to secure for General Donovan
pertinent transcripts of the record. After he and his office have had an
opportunity to study these memoranda we shall consult further. General Donovan
25X1A5a1 made his acceptance conditional uponi being satisfied and Yr. Houston
felt that this could be done.
3. Had dinner withi and discussed various amendments
to the Brownell directive which had been suggested by General 26a.gruder. He..;was
insistent upon the point as to the status of the Director of NSA, and also on
the delegation point.
4. General Partridge phoned and stated that he had looked into
Korean OB methodology and was satisfied as to the method currently being used.
He offered to have me briefed on this, but I stated that I was entirely
satisfied with his personal assurance.

and I sit dosn with them in order to answer any questions they may
have, and to insure that we were in accord on general policies. I indicated
that with respect to the over-all figure of each Office, I did not feel any
arbitrary ceiling would be satisfactory. Each AD should be requested to make
a bare-bones estimate of his requirements for the next fiscal year. When this
has been done, we can total up the savings and see how they accorded with the
over-all Agency position. If necessary, I was prepared to go to the Director
to justify each Office, but I undertook to have a discussion with ' i 25X1A9a
before doing this, since last year we had managed to eliminate all outstanding
questions without requiring a decision by DCI.
