DEPUTIES' MEETING
Present: Mr. Dulles, General Cabell, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Amory,
General Truscott, Mr. Gates Lloyd, Mr. Helms, Mr.
Barnes, Mr. Sheldon, Dr. Kent, Mr.
Bundy (part of meeting)
Mr. Bundy briefly reported on his and Agency activities at the
During the meeting the Director received a telephone call from
Senator Saltonstall regarding Secretary McElroy's statement about
Soviet progress in the ICBM field made at a press conference at
Quantico on 27 June. During this conversation the Director again
raised the question of a Senate CIA Budget Hearing, and commented
that he had spoken to Senator Hayden about this and urged hire to set
up a time for such a briefing. The Director noted as of now no date
has been set. Senator Saltonstall suggested that the Director i-." also
wi r-ta call Senators Russell and Chavez. The Director replied that
we had always handled these briefings with either Saltonstall or Hayden.
Senator Saltonstall promised to get in touch with Senator Hayden today
and advise the Director of the outcome of his conversation.
a. Stated he had been considering proposing to the President
that during Kozlov's visit to the U. S. for the purpose of opening the
Soviet Trade Fair exhibition in New York, the President offer Kozlov
an opportunity to visit any place or places he might desire to see,
including Cape Canaveral, the Atomic Energy installation in Oakridge,
Tennessee, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Strategic Air Command Head-
quarters in Omaha, Continental Air Defense Command, etc., provided
the Soviets would reciprocate during Vice President Nixon's visit to
the USSR. It was the Director's thought that should this be worked out,
the number of people to accompany Kozlov would be limited to "two or
three." Those present agreed this was an excellent idea (1) from the
propaganda standpoint, and (2) possibility of what additional information
we might be able to learn about Soviet activities in the atomic energy
and missile field. Action: DDCI to raise this for discussion at the
USIB meeting on 30 June if the DCI is unable to attend.

b. Asked DD/P to obtain the copy of a speech made by Sihanouk
in Paris on Thailand. The Director said it had been reported to him at
the Quantico Conference what Sihanouk had to say was interesting and
apparently he had made this talk in public and before a group of students
in France.
c, Referred to the recent spate of defectors and commented he
was considering briefing the NSC at its meeting on Z July. Mr. Barnes
noted that DD/P already had in preparation briefing notes on this matter
for the Director's use for his meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff on
Wednesday, 1 July, and in all probability this material could be used
should the Director desire to discuss the subject at NSC,
d. Noted at the Quantico Conference during Douglas Dillon's
briefing he had mentioned the situation in Afghanistan was rapidly
deteriorating and in his (Dillon) opinion this was one of the world's
worst trouble spots. Action: General Cabell to raise this matter at
the USIB meeting on 30 June.
