1. General Davison said that they were getting together
a really good recruiting team and hoped for much improved results.
Colonel Johnston stated that, in his opinion, the quality and quantity
of personnel recruitment was going up sharply. He mentioned, however,
that the time lag was still bad and that we were losing good people
on account of this. He also pointed out that it took too long to
clear Service personnel. There was some discussion as to methods
for shortening the clearance period of personnel coming to CIA who
had already been cleared by some other Governr,ient department or agency.
Mr. Dulles, Mr. Wolf and Colonel Edwards will discuss this matter and
try to work out a better procedure.
General Davison stated that the burden for recruiting
has been placed upon his Office. Other offices, of course, are we come
to do recruiting wherever they see fit. He pointed out, however,
that such recruiting must be coordinated with his Office as there
were numerous cases on record where a person had been approached by
three or four different Offices of CIA.
2. Mr. Dulles asked that all Assistant Directors who grad
problems in regard to administration should take these problems at
the earliest opportunity to Mr. Wolf. Mr. Wolf will do everything
possible to assist, but he is helpless if he is not informed. of
current difficulties. Colonel Johnston stated that he believed
there had been a marked improvement in all administrative matters
and that they were being handled with much greater efficiency and
a true sense of cooperation.
3. Colonel Baird stated that he had listened in on
Mr. Jackson's speech at the Army War College and the subsequent
lengthly question period. He stated that the Department of State
was represented at the Army War College by the Deputy Director of
the Foreign Service School. The Deputy Director was there not only
as a student but also for the purpose of "protecting" State Department
interests. Colonel Baird wonders whether we should not have a parson
in a similar position at the various schools who would be able to
discuss the CIA mission on an informed basis.,

Dr. Chadwell pointed out that in such a case, it might
be necessary to amend I&S regulations so that the CIA representative
could properly plead the CIS, cause. Mr. Dulles emphasized the point
that a great deal can be said in regard to the overt operations of
CIA.
said that he had found many members
of the Joint Staff ignorant of the CIA mission and that they were,
therefore, less sympathetic in rendering support. He pointed out
that in many cases graduates of the War College passed on to the
Joint Staff, and he felt that if they were exposed to information
in regard to CIA while at the War College they would be more sympathetic
to CIA operations thereafter.
After considerable discussion, it was decided that CIA
should continue to send representatives to the National War College,
the Naval War College, the Naval Intelligence School and the Strategic
Intelligence School. If possible, CIA should also send representatives
to the Army War College, the Air War College and possibly to the
Industrial College of the Armed Forces and the Armed Force Staff
College. Colonel Johnston spoke highly of the Air War College and
stressed the importance of CIA representation.
Mr. Dulles concluded that CIA representation at these
various Service colleges needs further study by the Assistant
Directors, as does the question of how far such CIA representatives
can go in discussion of the CIA mission and operations. Colonel Baird
will provide the Assistant Directors with copies of his memorandum
and some indication as to qualifications and age groups for representa-
tives at the various colleges.
