Approved For Relee 2000/09~12 :CIA-RDP79-0104000100020132-7 Security Informations Official Diary Wednesday, 10 September 1952 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 Kent that I had withdrawn my commitment to participate and he suggested that, since he was involved in NIE-614, I carry on at this point with 25X1 A9a After seeing the terms of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 C4e 25X1A5a1 (CONTINUED) Approved For Relea a,20OO/O9MI2 : CIA-RDP79-01041 A900100020132-7 This document is par of an in rrated 25X6A file.

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.
