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.
