4. It was agreed that drafts of these annexes should

7 February.
S. I plan to discuss the matter with the DDS., but
there Is some slight-problem in connection with the relation-
ship between the Chairman of the Security Committee and, the
Office of. Security, CIA. It is very doubtful that the Security
Committee either has-the information or the capability of
producing much of the required information. This task will
undoubtedly fall on the Special Security Center. I an to
25X1A
call a meeting next week which will include
F_ I-
25X1A I I, and - the four Deputies to discuss this
particular problem.. -
