MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Executive Council Meeting on 17 June 1975
Mr. Proctor chaired. Substituting was Mr. D. Kerr.
1. There was a general discussion of the Rockefeller Com-
mission report and its consequences. Executive Council Members
emphasized the need to instill in Agency employees a code of
ethics that would prevent the organization from acting improperly.
There was considerable concern that, in the absence of structural
changes that would ensure better supervision of the Agency, it
would be hard to guarantee against repetition of the kind of ac-
tivities uncovered in the report. Some members felt that it was
very important for Agency spokesmen to avoid minimizing the serious-
ness of the improper acts. This does not foster the kind of ethical
sense needed to keep us out of trouble in the future.
2. Admiral Inman is concerned that ONI has not always been
used as the channel through which the Agency approached the Navy
for assistance. He is sending the Agency a letter to that affect.
3. Mr. Proctor and the Director will brief the Proxmire
Committee 18 June, assuming the Senate can resolve a scheduling
conflict between the Proxmire briefing and one requested by Senator
Church.
4. Mr. Proctor said that the Management Committee had re-
viewed the practice of paying expenses for EOD travel and movement
of household affects in cases of hard-to-get employees. The Civil
Service Commission insists that it will determine what categories of
jobs are hard to fill. Some employees for which the Agency is now
paying these expenses do not qualify under the CSC rules. The Agency
will try to get their jobs added to the Civil Service list.
