DIARY NOTES FOR COLONEL WHI1E
ADD/S P' - Tuesday, 13 August 1963
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning:
a. We were shown a ten-minute movie of the U-2 take-off
from the Kitty Hawk. It was off the deck after a run of 321 feet.
No recovery was attempted, but several passes were made and
wheels were touched down.

b. There was some discussion of the article by Dan Kurzman
in this morning's Washington Post (copy attached. The Director
was quite relaxed about it, his opening comment to "Helms being,
"Dick, your style in the Post this morning was a little sloppy. I
think you should brush it up. " (At the DD/P Staff Meeting on 14 August
commented that the article didn't do us any harm
except that it did stir up the exile volunteers and incited them to more
action.)
c. Dick Helms brought up the Washington demonstration on
28 August. He felt there was a possibility that some of our downtown
employees might be identified as taking part in the demonstration.
The Director felt we should develop by word-of-mouth our position
that Negroes are well treated in the Agency, but should let them take
part if they want to. The general concensus was to do nothing until
we find out what the over-all Government policy will be.
25X1 A9a 2. I asked John Bross about plan to advance the distribution
of pay checks to Tuesday, 27 August, before Wednesday's demonstration. He
25X1A said that Jim's concern had been that a roll wouldn't be able to mail the checks
that normally should be sent to installations, bank accounts, etc. , on
Wednesday, 28 August. He did not plan to distribute all pay checks early. His
principal worry was that on the critical day employees would be unable to get
to 2430 E Street. John thought he had the matter in hand without any great amount
of trouble.

5. General Stoughton, Commandant of the Armed Forces Industrial College,
wrote a warm letter of appreciation for the demonstration of the Management
Training Faculty's communications exercise which was put on for the faculty of
the ICAF by . Apparently, it was a great success and
the exercise will be used henceforth by the Industrial College.
6. By letter dated 9 August to the Administrator of GSA, Mr. Kirkpatrick
designated Joe Becker to maintain liaison henceforth on ADP matters.
7. OTR is making progress in developing plans for the visit to the Agency
of the National War College class on 14 October.
8. A few weeks ago, you approved the transfer of- (ORR) to OTR 25X1A9a
on a rotational assignment basis, to join the Management Training Fa . We
have been informed that ORR refused at the last minute to release on a 25X1A9a
rotational basis and therefore the deal is off. No other good candidates are
available at this time.

10. completes her tour as a summer employee on 14 August.
She has been assign in the Language and Area School of OTR.
11. I was summoned today to see Mr. Kirkpatrick concerning the
scholarship arrangements. He announced his preference for the establishment
of an organization similar to PSAS, not tied in with the Recreation Association,
which could administer a program and provide a legal basis for securing the
tax-deductible feature for contributions. He requested that-and I under- 41A9a
take to see that necessary action is taken to develop a plan which he can review
upon returning from leave on 3 September. I have iscussed this with the Director
of Personnel and Eck have done a revision- 25X1 A9a
adaptation of the PSAS Charter as a starting point, and- will take a tentative
sounding with the Internal Revenue Service sometime next week.
