MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
The decision by you and the DCI to name Colonel White to the
post of Executive Director was made before I had a chance to finally
put on paper a list of candidates whom I considered qualified. As you
know, I consider Colonel White to be the number one candidate and
therefore am fully in accord with the appointment. I believe, however,
that it would be worthwhile if I recorded for you the other names that I
would have placed on the record for consideration. I do this on the basis
that advanced planning would be very useful in this regard and there
should be those in the zone of consideration for the assignment in the
future. Herewith are the names of those individuals who have impressed
me as having broad executive abilities that transcend the immediate 50X1
areas of their present responsibilities.
