a. Noted that the interim approval of our "package of projects" would,
in all probability, be discussed at today's PSB luncheon and in this correction
Mr. Wisner said that (1) there was considerable undercurrent and unhappiness
on the part of State and the Joint Chiefs concerning these projects; (2)
Col. Johnston was dissatisfied with State's approach on this matter; (3) he
therefore recommended that discussion of this problem be postponed for a week,
particularly since Col. Johnston is ill. After further discussion, Mr. Wisner
gave the Director State's recommendation for a proposed directive to CIA in
connection with the above-mentioned projects. The Director retained this paper
and noted he would state our position at today's luncheon.
