lunch with the IG. The general understanding is that we will not dis -

Executive Director noted the need to ensure that special briefings
given at Friday Morning Meetings are as in tune as possible with cur-
rent interests. Suggested topics for such briefings will be tabled at
Morning Meetings on Tuesday or Wednesday of each week so that the
Director can make his decision. (See Action 2)

in preparation of supporting materials for the briefings on the Hill yes-
terday. The Director described the meeting in some detail. DDCI
sought and got the Director's agreement to excise portions of the Direc-
tor's briefing materials and to send them to DIA to help ensure con-
sistency in later testimony.
