Memo for AD~SI from ADWheelon
Subj: Coordination with DD~I
1. OCI has just produced an appraisal of the: significance of Khrushchev's remarks
on abandoning the lunar race. They did so wi.-th substantial help from
but without contacting Carl Duckett or myself.'. In fact, I did. not even see a copy
of the memorandum before -- in spite of the fact that the Director had. specifics=Lly
given this job to Sherman Kent and myself.
STAT
2. I raised this with Cline yesterday morning in the strongest possible terms and
told. him this would have to stop. Mr. Cline complained that the time limit was
short and that he expected supporting help from the offices, and. expected OSI to
notify me if it was of interest to me. I al~;o said. this was unacceptable. I told.
him that we could rio longer tolerate OCI raiding parties contacting their favorii;e
analysts in OSI and by-passing the line of command, which is responsible for the
substance of these contributions. C:Line argued that there should be a responsible
individual in OSI to whom they could come and inquired about status. STAT
I indicated that Owas not yet availak>1e and, until such an arrangement was
made, Cline should direct his people to contact the Asst Director for SI in all eases.
3. I want you to let everyone in OSI know that they are not to take assignment
unless you personally, or your designated officer, are in the loop and. have control
of the problem. I believe only in this way can we cauterize the free-wheeling
tendencies of the DDI action types.
