1. Mr. Reber informed me that the proposed revision of MC-33 was
the only item on the IAC agenda and I requested that he cancel this weekts
meeting. Later informed DCI.
2. During the day I had several chats with Generals Porter and
Partridge respecting the proposed revision of MC-33. General Porter explained
that any technical revision of MC-33 had been postponed. The sole issue was
whether or not we would participate in preparing a paper answering the require-
ments laid on by the Military planners. I indicated both to Generals Porter
and Partridge that I could not make an intelligent decision on this until I had
seen the requirement. This was later sent to me by General Porter and it
closely approximated the terms of reference contained in-cable. In-25X1A9a
formed Dr. Kent that I had withdrawn my commitment to
participate and he suggested
that, since he was involved in NIE-614, I carry on at this point with 25X1 A9a
After seeing the terms of reference, I indicated to that I proposed 25X1A9a
to let the Military carry on alone on this particular exercise primarily because
I thought it ridiculous for the planners to expect intelligence to answer
25X1A9questions of this character in the time schedule laid on. It would be essential,
owever, to inform what we were doing and why and also to indicate to the
Military that it was no longer in their authority to copy an IAC paper and
25X1X7transmit it under the label JIC in view of the revision of
25X1A91SCID-1. concurred. I also informed Mr. Dulles of the lines around
which I was thinking and stated to Colonel Dunn that I would call General
Porter `in the morning.
3. Informed Mr. Dulles that we were investigating
and would report to him finally in the near future.
7. Also mentioned to Mr. Wisner (as well as to Sheldon and
McMahan) the desirability of keeping an eye activities in the
Middle East.
1. Mr. Wisner requested me to speak to Dr. Kent as to the desir-
25X1 Asa 1 bility and I undertook to do so.
5. Suggested to DCI the possibility that the Soviets might be
forming a Soviet Bloc UN and later sent around a memo on this point,

25X1 A5a 1 10. informed me that a 25X1 A5a 1
had indicated to the that he was coming to 25X1A6a
Washington on Thursday in order to consult with Mr. Eakens of the State
Petroleum office to raise the question of security respecting documents
subpoened in the oil anti-trust case. I ascertained from Mr. Dulles that the
arrangements for screening of papers on which there was a security issue had
applied to all companies and not merely to Aramco, but that rather than
sending a letter the Department of Justice preferred to inform the respective
25X1A9a
companies orally. We authorized - to have the suggest 25X1 A6a
to Mr. Monahan that he speak to the Department of Justice on this point,
indicating, however, that nothing should be said as to CIA's part in this
screening.

0/CI paper on Iran and recommended that this be briefed and submitted to DCI,
D/DCI, and DD/P. Later spoke with Dr. Kent and Mr. Sheldon and suggested
that this paper be used as the basis for 0/NE intelligence memo.
