6 September 1963
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning, at which Mr.
Kirkpatrick presided:
a. Kirk announced that John Bross would be appointed Depu
Director for National Intelligence Program Evaluation. The t
Staff" is to be abolished, personally is to undertake
a study of national wartime plans and preparations by the DCI and
CIA. This will replace the group which Kirk has been chairing and
which I understand meets on Thursday afternoons. (I spoke to Kirk
yesterday about and it is my view that we should
turn Buff over to
b. Kirk also announced that the Historical Staff was no longer

2. I talked to Bob Daly of PBS and told him that, after looking at the three
areas which he and Heinz Abersfeller suggested that we consider for a downtown
office building, we wished to pursue the building in the Southwest area. He tele-
phoned later to say that he had discussed the matter with Abby, who expected a
call from me. I called Abby (who will be out of town all next week) and he requested
that we develop as soon as possible the strongest justification for negotiation with
one owner--in other words, justify the Southwest location over and above the others
which he proposed. Later in the day I met with 25 9a
to discuss this matter as well as a study to
determine what components should be located downtown and what components
should be located at Langley. I asked that the Office of Logistics develop a jus-
tification paper for the Southwest location by Wednesday, 11 September, and that
they also develop a list of questions to which we would want to solicit answers in
connection with the functional study.
