MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director
In looking through some odd notes, I came across the following
items which I wish you would check out to see that we have necessary
Action Memoranda or other instructions on them:
1. The Director wishes to have a USIB meeting at the regular
time every Wednesday (except for holiday adjustments) regardless
of whether or not there is an agenda requirement for same. In other
words, he will generate discussion items in the event there are no
pending formal papers.
STAT
2. It seems to me that we should notify the Agency pretty gen-~ ?
erally of the new Cuban organization headed by Cottrell, as well as
to follow up on DD/P's adjustments in their own organization.
3. The Director is anxious that our field installations be kept
constantly alerted to problem areas on which they should report, and
to ensure that reporting is rapid and pertinent. r
STAT
4. The Director indicated that he wanted a study, or at least
an intelligence memorandum, indicating the current situation with
5. The Director wanted the most imaginative approach possible
in all of our thinking on collection efforts towards Cuba.
6. The Director was anxious to see our study on "professionalism, "
particularly as it refers to the educational and competence level of our
senior officers. VW7
7. I still don t think we are quite geared to keep the Director
daily informed on Cuba. The briefing this morning was totally lacking
in this regard. It seems to me we could have a four-sentence briefing/
every morning to include U-2 coverage, ship activities, etc., etc.

8. The Director was unable to reconcile information contained
in the briefing prepared for him on the Hill to the effect that the
Peruvian elections might not be held this spring, with the Peruvian
Ambassador's flat statement that it was impossible for the Peruvian
Junta not to hold the elections.
9. I have asked Red White to furnish me a report as to who in
the Agency is authorized to carry concealed weapons, and why.
