was a good job.
2. Special Group took note of DOD report on stockpiling.
DDCI made points from the lengthy CIA report on this subject.
General Taylor was interested and may ask to have a copy of
the ClApaper. DDCI pointed out the need to have naval craft
of various types available. CIA was asked to confer with DOD
and Navy to come up with requirements for such craft,
particularly small boats.
3. The CIA paper I was highly
complimented by Alexis Johnson who said he would send the
State and CIA papers to for comment.
Following receipt of the comment, a paper will be prepared
for transmittal from the Special Group to the White House as
a response to McGeorge Bundy's memo.
4. The CIA paper
was approved.

the paper.

from General Taylor, who said that either Mr. McCone or he,
General Taylor, should tell the President about this and that the
Killian Committee should be advised.

BRIEFING NOTES FOR 5412 MEETING
1. In view of your schedule, I have informed DD/S and Commo
that you will not plan to take any equipment or make any display at
the meeting this afternoon. Actually next week would be better because
the discussion could be related directly to the status report on South
Vietnam and this is how the issue came up in the first place.
2. After the DCI's meeting with the President and General
Taylor on 7 May, General Taylor suggested that the DCI bring to the
next Special Group Meeting pictures of the OXCART test (these are
attached) and examples of U-2 photography over Cuba (these will be
waiting for you at the meeting room). On Cuba the intent is simply
to show quality, not substance.
s not cleared for OXCART. /
who is Tom Parrott's Deputy,
4. The DCI suggested that Colonel Stakely be invited to brief
the Group on accomplished and pending peripheral flights around the
Kamchatka area.
6. The agenda item on outer space objectives is a continuation
of a debate between State and Defense in which we have remained neutral.
7. This is to remind you that the NRO paper, which is in the
hands of the principals, is for the information of the Group only. Their
action is neither requested nor required.
