Morning Meeting of 11 February 1966
The DCI opened the meeting by asking the status of work being
done in response to the President's personal request to the DCI
yesterday to provide certain factual information concerning the
Dominican Republic. Both DD/I and DD/P are at work on this, will
continue their work over the weekend, and aim to have a report in
hand on 14 February. The thrust of the report, said the DCI, is to
show that the American landing of military forces last April was a
decision taken to protect American nationals in the face of a break-
down of law and order and not due to the Communist participation in
the disorders. The level and extent of Communist participation
surfaced later, after the decision had been made.
The DCI commented on an interesting breakfast meeting with
Representative Moorhead. DCI said that he had encountered various
friends from the news media at a social event last night and that
these friends said that the Agency was held in high respect.
DD/P noted that the New York Times article on the Agency is
due to be printed on 14 February.

DD/I said that he would greet General Davis prior to the 11 a. m.
auditorium briefing on Vietnam this morning.
recommended that DCI, prior to his trip to the West
Coast next week, meet with Crowley to discuss our West Coast
activities so that the Agency's work can be put in proper perspective
as the DCI moves through USAF and NRO facilities on the Coast.
It was also agreed that DD/I representatives can join the DCI's
tour if arrangements permit. (See Action 1)
Godfrey noted the DCI's interest, upon being briefed earlier this
morning, in the flight of a Soviet transport carrying North Vietnamese
from Hanoi to Peking. This flight and its implications are under
study.
(At this point the DCI left the meeting to address the Midcareer
Course. )
DD/S noted growing traffic problems during rush hours at Agency
entrances and said a study is under way to ease the flow.
ACTIONS:
1. DCI requests that the CIA Director of Reconnaissance work up
background and suggestions for the DCI's use during his forthcoming
tour of West Coast space facilities. (CIA Director of Reconnaissance -
By close of business 14 February)
