1. The Director telephoned about two items.
24 September 1965
a. He invited me to the lunch on Monday, 27 September, for
available. I will be invited.
b. The Director also said that he wanted to ensure that one
person was designated from each of the Directorates to update the
long-range plan developed by Mr. Kirkpatrick. I told him that we
would do this but I reviewed with him the scheme I have in mind
for the Agency planning system as a whole. He indicated again that
he approved of this but wanted to make sure that the effort is started
and that we set a deadline for updating the plan. I told him that we
were working on the budget and that this deadline could not be
earlier than 1 November. I think that he will settle for most any-
thing, but this is the third time he has raised this with me. (I must
take some prompt action to satisfy him that we are not just sitting
on our "ditty box. ")
2. I talked with Dick Helms about a briefing for the International
Fellows of Columbia University on 20 October. He approved, provided
that he did not have to be involved personally. I instructed Larry
Houston to proceed but to coordinate with the Office of Training in
advance.

that it was urgent that we issue some policy guidance on centralization
versus decentralization. I think that we can do this, and I asked Joe
to draft something for my consideration along the following lines: We
will maintain the WALNUT and NPIC facilities as decentralized computer
centers. We will.not allow any new centers to be decentralized unless
there is an overwhelming reason for doing so, and the burden of proof
will be on the sponsoring component. With the possibility that further
or full centralization might someday be necessary, we will ensure that

our systems and equipment are standardized so that if further or full
centralization ever comes about we will not have wasted
or more and four years or more of time, which would be require o
make the conversion.
