25X1A9a
25X1 A9a 1. Discussed with the question of what was to be
done respecting reports on the situation involving oil rights
in Egypt. We agreed that the first essential was to obtain a well-organized
memorandum of facts. I also desired to explore the information in the
possession of Butch Fisher of State. We agreed to meet further with Mr.
25X1A9a on this question.
25X1A9a
2. Discussed with the question of a special unit
to deal with some of the high-level economic information obtained from
secret sources. We reached no final conclusions, but he agreed as to the
desirability of a more intensive exploitation of~ financial and 25X6A
insurance circles.
25X1A9a
3, Discussed with DAD/CI, the development of
several situations and requested that they be appropriately covered in CIB.
This was done.

25X1A8a
Office (in the absence of certain cable reports on conver-
sations with

25X1A9a
5. ? Discussed with the following:
25X1A9a
a. informed me that the information that I had
previously received as to the source of the information con-
25X1 A9a tained in the cable, which the Joint Staff had not sent
to 0/CI, was not entirely accurate. Nevertheless, it was felt
that the Military did receive information from SO through
Military channels and also delayed transmission of CIA's own
messages until their authorities had received such material
through Military channels.
b. An attempt will be made to document the facts respecting
25X1 A9a the - cable.
25X1A9a
c. Explored with any concern which he may have had
regarding the survey we are making of the intelligence re-
quirements quirements of the covert offices. It developed that Mr.
- was not concerned as to the use of or 25X1A9a
the fact of the survey, but had some views as to how it would
be best to make available to the Operational Offices the
fund of information available in 0/CI. I indicated that this
was the only one aspect of the problem that concerned me, since
I felt the needs of the Operational Offices were much broader
than any that could be fulfilled by 0/CI.
