MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Plans
25X1A
When I became Assistant Deputy Director for
Administration on 1 January 1952, I was asked to prepare "Diary
Notes" at the close of business each day and to have them on Mr.
desk by 0830 the next morning. Over the years I have continued
this practice of preparing "Diary Notes. " They are not really meant
to be a diary, but I have found them useful for keeping people on my
immediate staff up to date on what I have done. They also substitute
for Memoranda for the Record, which would otherwise have to be
written, and they refresh my memory from time to time.
Recently several people who are writing his-
tories in the Support Directorate asked to talk with me. I decided
that, if I really want to be helpful, I should reexamine these "Diary
Notes" whenever I can find a few minutes from time to time. I have
been doing this, and it occurs to me that some of these notes would
be just as useful to DD/P historians. I am therefore sending along
some samples and shall be happy to continue doing this as I proceed
to review my notes if you would like to have them. If you want them,
please let me know whether you would like them to be sent to you or
to some other point in your Directorate.
