DIARY NOTES
17 January 1963
1. advised me that he thought there was a legal question
as to whether we could acquire the additional real estate we sought with money
left over from building funds. I have urged Larry Houston and him to clarify
this promptly and to make sure that the Director understood that there may
be some problem. In this connection, the Director asked me where we stood
on this matter. I told him that we were waiting for his clearance with the
appropriate Congressional committees. He seemed surprised but after further
discussion recognized that it might be bad to have this hit the papers without
having touched base with at least Senator Russell and Mr. Cannon in addition
to Mr. VinU&, who has already given the proposition his endorsement. The
Director said that he would take care of this right away. (I think that every-
thing else is in order to proceed as soon as we have the necessary clearances.)

a. In the course of my conversation with Mr. Boutin he
told me most emphatically that they were going to tear down all
of the temporary buildings, including those along the Mall and in
West Potomac Park, by 1 January 1964. I told him that I was all
for this, but I challenged his target date and said I hoped that he
would make adequate provisions to accommodate us elsewhere.

with PBS said that a letter from Mr. Boutin to
this effect.)
b. I also told Mr. Boutin that, since he had never seen our
headquarters building, we would be pleased to have him come out
sometime for lunch and take a tour of it. He said that he would be
delighted to do so, and I undertook to arrange this.
