Office of Legislative Counsel
Monday - 1 August 1955
25X1A
1. Cong. Charles Deane of N. Car. lunched with the DCI toda Those
present included the DDCI, DDI, DDS, IG, Legislative Counsel and
Cong. Deane expressed great admiration for the Director and the
wor we were doing. He stated that he had read the Hoover Commission
report and had not been impressed by it. He did not feel that it had contributed
anything to serve as a guide for CIA. Ultimately the true objective of the
Congressman~s visit came to light when he discussed in strong words his
support of the moral rearmament movement, and presented for the DCI's
review a scrap book of clippings and pictures of an MRA group visitation to
Asia. Subsequently, Mr. Deane showed a film prepared by Moral Rearmament
in Africa and urged that we give it careful consideration. Those present for
the showing were from NEA. and and two of his 25X1A
associates from OCI.
Cong. Deane had one final message, but as the DCI was unavailable he
asked me to convey to the Director the information that a staff member in the
Department of State had sent out to various embassies in the Secretary's name
a rather Juke-warm message regarding the MRA visits. This, Mr. Deane
felt, accounted in part for the unfavorable comments from Ambassador
Ferguson in Manila. He suggested that the DCI might point this out to the
Secretary of State.
2. Mr. Lyman Hamilton called for verbal concurrence in H. R. 7278,
the Supplemental Appropriation Bill, 1956, as the desire to rush the bill to
the White House precluded the usual written coordination. I have given him
the verbalcancurrencefor CIA..
