CASSIDY: reported he thought the briefings were well received. He
said he thought Lovett and Hull would recommend that National Intelligence
objectives be placed in an NSCID rather than a DCID so they would have to
receive NSC and Presidential approval. He also said they were still in an
exploratory stage as to method of procedure and mentioned that they had
sent the President a report which had been acknowledged by the President
with apparently an unsympathetic reaction from the President as to any
delimitation. Cassidy said he thought the Board or Dr. Killian would
want to sit down with the President on this subject.
said he would write a report on the briefing he and
Kent gave Hull and Lovett. Said they covered use of operational information
and its potential use in wartime, as well as national intelligence objectives.
called to complain about Grogan's objection to his
using the title "Intelligence Unmasked" and his requirement that the speech

their fight to the DCI.
OTR: came in to get details on the memo requested
for the President's Board on conflicts in training. He also said OTR
had carefully reviewed and guided General Platt and that he had refused
to follow suggestions, so he didn't feel any obligation rested with OTR
