Monday' 11 February 1952
PRESENT.. 25X1A
Reported on the successful completion of his trip to New York
respecting press and radio coverage of the Athens trials.
a. Reported on the application of ONE post-mortens on NIEs to the
requirements problem. It is a part of the function of these post-mortems
to indicate the gaps in intelligence coverage which if filled would
materially improve the final estimate. Steps are being taken to develop
from these post-mortems requirements analyses which can be used by the
several IAC agencies.
b. Noted that Mr. Reber is preparing a new paper on the j latch
Committee question.
c. Noted that CIA participation in international intelligence con-
ferences is being reviewed.
Mr.=
Reported that Col. 'White understands that budget hearings may begin
as soon as ten days hence and emphasized the importance of complete
preparation of any presentation material which the Director would use. He
noted that there are three principal problems to be resolved:
1. The personnel ceiling: whether is to be
used for budgetary purposes. (It had been earlier under-
stood that the self-imposed personnel ceiling would not be
reflected in the budget presentation.)
2. The PSB budget. It was reported that the present status of
the Director's thinking is that the PSB should stand on its
own budgetary feet. (It has since been confirmed that at
the PSB luncheon on 7 February' it was agreed that the Depart-
ment of Defense shoula. alone support the PSB budget.)

The problem of OPC (whether CIA should sustain the
budgetary requirements of OPC or whether it should
simply act as an agent, leaving it to State and
Defense to support the budget).
In general, what is to be presented should be thoroughly cleared
with the Director. The presentation should include a report, a financial
statement as to costs for the past year, and a general review of the
world situation.
