1. Mr. Smith was given a complete briefing on the Building Plan-
ning Staff, its responsibilities, and the trends of its activities.
Some measure of time reauir_emaents was brought :forward in order to
provide a feel for the pressures which will be mounting as the months
come along. I requested the assignment of a DDI Building Planning Co-
ordinator.
2. We discussed the work of who had been 25X1A9a
the DDI Liaison Officer in nlannin ; the present Headquarters Building.
It was agreed that much of the detailed planning around personnel
figures and the like can be provided by the Administrative Staff of
DDI. It was further agreed in the light of my explanation of a pro-
jection of 15 years that the key work for the directorate coordinators
this time will be in the planni>g field including the projection of
responsibilities and functions within the various components on an
extremely advanced basis.
3. I informed Mr. Smith that in preparation for our meeting I
had discussed possible assistance of his Administrative Staff with
his Administrative Officer. It was also noted that 25X1 A9a
understood that the main thrust would be in the planning field. I
advised Mr. Smith that Ed Proctor, Assistant Deputy Director for
Intelligence, and I had exchanged phone calls in an effort to get
together on this matter but had not been able to arrange an appropriate
time for a meeting ptior to his departure for leave. Mr. Proctor,
who oversees the work of the DDI Planning Staff', will be the prime
connection between the DDI Coordinator and any projected policy shifts
and planned changes which his office may develop in the course of
this building planning program.
