MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD OF THE CLARK
CCWTTEE
OCI (Special Intelligence)
Colonel Miller jumped with both feet on the subject of un-
vouchered funds expended by Staff D for clandestine procurement
of equipment for OCI and NSA. He claimed that the Hoover Com-
mission was meat concerned with expenses; since FOA is pouring
funds into foreign governments, he felt we should be in a posi-
tion to ask for materials in return, and that through clandestine
procurement we were actually paying twice. Miller made a note to
.have Colonel Lane look into this aspect of the DD(P( budget? and
to determine its extent.
McGruder raised the question (and made a note) as to whether
OCI and/or NSA had any plans to incorporate the facilities of FBID
under emergency conditions. His questioning has assumed the line
of determining whether the Agency has given thought to coordinat-
ing its far-flung interests as a coordinated enterprise rather
than building small, disjointed empires.
1100-1200 The task force attended a meeting of the 0CI Indications
Board
1200-1230 Attended an OCI Briefing
1330-1600 Attended a briefing by the NK.A Division, 0CI
Colonel Miller asked a leading question during the afternoon, to
wit, "OCI's estimates or opinions are purely their own; how do you
know if they carry any weight with consumers? Why is your expert
opinion any better than anyone else's?"
Colonel Miller was concerned that OCI'a estimates were the pro-
duct of their own development, without external coordination for concur-
rence with the IAC.
Mr. I Iexcellent three-hour briefing was such as to
disallow much questioning on the part of the task force.
