SUBJECT: Executive Council Meeting on 19 December 1975
Mr. Proctor chaired. Substitutes were Messrs.
0
and Devlin.
1. Mr. Proctor reported that Ambassador Bush attended the
Morning Meeting this morning. Bush commented that he had asked the
President to send the letter ruling out a Vice-Presidential nomi-
nation. He was also highly complimentary about Mr. Colby's perfor-
mance. He said he was reluctant to come out to the building before
the Committee voted and even now doesn't want to be a frequent visitor.
He will want to meet with various Agency people in his offices in the
Executive Office Building between now and the confirmation vote. He
seemed eager to earn the confidence of Agency professionals and to
correct public misconception of CIA ineffectiveness. He said he would
not have any preconceived plan but would make changes when he knew
more about the Agency. He does not have plans to bring in a great
many outsiders.
2. Mr. Proctor described his testimony before the House Select
Committee on SALT "hold" items and distributed his prepared statement.
