Dr. Hoover phoned and stated that ICIS (Mr. Whearty) was not prepared to give its suggestions for amendment of the summary evaluation until after a meeting to be held on Monday or Tuesday of next week. I attempted to get in touch with General Samford, but was unsuccessful. Accord- ingly, I advised Dr. Hoover that we would have to .proceed with our amendments, and that we could only consider the ICIS suggestions on their merits when they were submitted. This might be after we had given the summary evaluation to DCI. 25X1A9a 2.

Dr. Chadwell phoned, being concerned about the proposal, made through Amory or his people., that O/SI participate in the revision of MC-33. I assured Dr. Chadwell that participation was at his option and, since he desired not to go along on this exercise in view of his over-all relations, I approved. We agreed that there should be no CIA delegates at this meeting. 10. Mr. Amory later phoned me and informed me that certain CIA representatives had been designated as delegates to sit in meetings with the 25X1X7 on the revision of MC-33. I explained to Mr. Amory that this was contrary to the understanding that I had had with General Porter and for many policy reasons was wholly unacceptable to CIA. I requested him to have this situation straightened out. He later phoned and informed me that CIA representatives would not sit in on the conference, but would confine themselves to advising the American delegation. As a personal favor to General Porter, he had agreed that there would appear to be no need to have 25X1 A9a withdrawn the name - who was really a CIA man but was not designated as such and who would not sit in the meetings. I approved this upon the express understanding that Porter would make it plain to all concerned that CIA was not participating in this conference, officially or unofficially. 25X1A9a J 11. reported to me in some detail on his briefing of Governor Stevenson and the various questions and answers. At my sugges- tion, he briefed DCI orally on this. 12.

Mr. Lay phoned and stated that they had received an alternate State draft on the policy paper re Iran. Accordingly, they would be most appreciative to have an advance distribution to members of the Senior Staff of our crash Iran estimate coming out Wednesday. I undertook to have this done and later mentioned this to Sherman Kent. 25X1A9a ll.. phoned respecting contact with a Colonel Piers and I approved the action he proposed to take. I also made arrange- ments for a briefing by 25X1 A9a 15. 1)r. Craig of PSB informed me that DCI had requested the PSB staff to look into the question of any action the Soviets might be contem- plating respecting the UN and requested our assistance.
