1. Mr. Dulles presented the proposed comments by CIA on
a paper on psychological warfare drafted by Mr. Staats, of the
Bureau of the Budget, and he pointed out that the
original draft envis ged a new board an that it was questionable
in his mind as to whether a good outside chairman would be available
for such a board. Mr. Jackson commented that the agency has a lot
to gain by an authority of psycholo?_ical warfare. Isaid
that a board such as that proposed would be helpful in view o the
inevitable conflicts in psychological warfare and pointed out that
even ECA was moving into the field. It was decided that, inasmuch
as the major interest was that of 0/PC, that and Mr. iJulles
would confer the final draft. The status of who
represents CIA on the Interdepartmental Committee on Psychological
Warfare Intelligence, would be reviewed separately.
Mr. Dulles raised the question as to whether a deputy
should be appointed to CIA Senior tiepresentatives in overseas posts.
It was decided that no deputy should be appointed, and that each
CIA Senior Representative could designate somebody to be acting
for him in his absence.
2. General 6yman reported that together with Mr. Carey
and Mr. Reber he had discussed the proposed JCS paper on captured
sources with General McGhee. He stated that there appeared to be
considerable opposition on the part of the Joint Staff to CIA
representation in the directorate of agencies handling captured
sources. Mr. Jackson said that if the IaC did not agree to CL,
representation the matter could be referred to the iiSC as it was
obviously covered by CIA's coordination powers.
General uvyman raised the question of a replacement
forl as Director of covert training, inasmuch as the
Far Eastern command would not release It was
decided that General vwyman and I ould confer with
Colonel Baird on this subject, and all the Assistant Directors wire
asked to submit any recommendations they might have as to somebody
who had had educational, administrative, and military experience.

3. Mr. Kirkpatrick asked the Assistant Directors to make
sure that their offices reported each day on matters for the Director's
log.- ire stated that a negative report was desired as well as a
positive one. He stressed the fact that it was important to keep
the Director informed on any matters in which CIA was dealing with
an outside agency, and asked that the offices also make sure that
memoranda of conversation were prepared. It was pointed out that
if the item was sufficiently covered in reporting for the Director's
Log that a memorandum of conversation would not be necess:,ry..
