1. At my suggestion I introduced OCPW, to
since OIS is satisfactorily doing for DDP what _ division
is trying hard and unsatisfactorily doing for OCPW. We gave kjN=
the Terms of Reference for the forts coming NIE on Resistance
Potential.
2. consulted me respecting Mr. Amory's proposal
to establish an IAC Sub-committee in Photographic Intelligence. This
idea had been generated by Mrs. Sheldon at the time she was in Art
Lundahl's Photographic Division under Jimmy in ORR. Without
reference to either Guthe or the DDI has gotten Lundahl to
give him direct a memorandum on deficiencies in Photographic Intelli-
gence. Based on thimemorandum,of 21 May, the DDI had requested
Lundahl direct to took up a piece ofpaper d serve as a basis
for establishing an IAC Sub-committee. 9&M is opposed to the
proposal largely because the state of interagency coordination in this
field and current Defense Department attempts to resolve specific
problems are sufficiently satisfactory that no inter-departmental
committee is required. ; In Captain Staley's absence, I talked with Col.
Maxwell of the Rainbow Team of JIC(74683) and explained to him that
cooperation ' this point in order to elicitabe facts might save us all
considerable misery later on. Maxwell got the point, and undertook
to provide,if possible, copies of : (a) JIC 620/8, a paper to provide
service coordination in Photographic Intelligence; (b) a copy of a
Presidential memorandum restricting handling Of- overflight questions
to the President and Secretary of Defense; and (c) a JCS Directive on
South East Asia Reconnaissance requirements. Maxwell was not able
to provide this before started his leave on Friday. I so told
25X1A9a volunteering to carry on with Maxwell and undertook to inform
Art Lundahl by 30 August as to any developments.

General Cabell said he was happy with draft DCID 11 /2
except for the proposed term "for official use only" which he
felt might be considered a circumvention of the Executive
Order. I assured him that the General Counsel had deter-
mined from the Department of Justice that that Department
considered this term appropriate. General Cabell then signed
the paper and redistributed it as an IAC document.
Tuesday, 10 August
1. Attended IAC, which meeting was the last to be

Mims had died.
3. inquired whether it was really necessary for the
DCI to as t e NSC to designate USIA as a recipient of national
intelligence, since USIA had been receiving all the NIEs for
some time and at Mr. Amory's request. I referred _ to
NSCID 1, paragraph 5a and told him that even though we were
ratifying an existing arrangement it seemed to me desirable
(remembering the FCDA case) to regularize our procedure.

Z. G-2 and ONI finally gave their reluctant concurrence
to the proposal to disseminate NIS to USIA, and I therefore
issued IAC-D-45/55 requesting IAC approval. This exercise,
coupled with the service agencies' inability to concur in the
proposal to give NIEs to USIA, made it clear that the security
segments of each of the military agencies were bein obdurate.
To aid in their education I arranged with to
have a meeting next week at which security representatives
from Army, Navy, Air Force and JIG would listen to USIA
explain its security practices and ask whatever ridiculous
questions they wished to ask. State, AEC and FBI had all con-
curred in both proposals (i. e., NIS and NIE).

Wednesday, 21 July
1. requested "quick reactions" to his draft
of the forthcoming NSC progress report. I made two points:
a. It should be clear whether this report is a
semi-annual report of most significant changes or
an annual report. (I suggested the latter. )
b. The reiteration by G-2 of its long-standing plaint
at clandestine collection should be removed. I reminded
_ of the experience of six month's ago and called
his attention to the substitute language proposed by
General Cabell and pushed through the IAC by the DCI.
2. Worked out with Wally a list of forseeable projects
for the period ending 23 August.
3. Took one hour's leave.
Thursday, 22 July
25X1A9a 1. f ORR informed me that his people were
floundering because Dr. Guthe had asked them to produce a
report on some matter or other raised by Admiral Espe of ONI
at the IAG meeting of 13 July in connection with materials being
illicitly shipped into Communist China. Apparently the materials
involved are kerosene products which, by some chemical magic,
can be converted into jet fuel. Guthe had then left; Chadwell,
who had been present at the meeting, did not know what had gone
25X1A9a on. _ was on leave. I contacted Captain Wilkins, who ar-
ranged to have the ORR people put in touch with ONI's chief
civilian involved. =later informed me that this conference
had made it possible to discover what was wanted.
Friday, 23 July
25X1A9a it _ office sent us an "Annex to IAC-D-6/3. If

 Approved For Release 2001/0818 CIA-RDP61 S00750A000600010002-1
the DCI to the NSC, asking that the President direct government
agencies to make their information available to the Watch
Committee. There was no covering memorandum yet drafted,
25X1A9a and I informed _that it would be very difficult to get this
document to the agencies by close of business Friday. He said
he felt OCI could give better service than that and that he would
have Mr. Amory take it up with them. I told him that that was,
of course, his privilege, and suggested that if that was the
course to be pursued, I would prefer to return the typed mats
25X1A9a tom so as to be sure that his dealings with OCI would not
be adversely affected by any attempt on my part to deal with
OCI as I had in the past. We therefore typed the mats and re-
25X1A9a turned them to At 2:30 we received the minutes
for typing. On these minutes, as also in the case of the proposed
IAC document, I discovered wording which I felt could be improved.
25X1A9a When I made my suggestions to - he gave me to understand
that the documents were beyond questioning, since they had been
already approved by Mr. Amory. It became clear to me that
25X1A9a -view of the matter was that we would do the mechanical
work and that he was in charge of the substantive preparation.
25X1A9a I said nothing to- about this further, but suggested to Wally
that this seemed to be an 1800 shift from the line advanced by
25X1A9a _in office at the time that the shift of the IAC
21%'l Secretariat was discussed. In view of the above, I checked with the
Property Procurement Officer as to when ONE might get an
25X1A9a electric typewriter. informed me that it would be
a minimum of 90 days. I therefore arranged on Monday to transfer
one of our electric typewriters on loan to ONE, pending the arrival
of their own typewriter. In connection with the entire matter
described above, I found it perfectly possible to be sweet, reason-
able, and disgusted.
25X1A9a 2. informed me that the Bureau of the Budget
had completed an informal review of the USIA survey and had
only two minor comments. I told him I would put these before 25X1A9a
the Director as agreed at the meeting with and that
the Director would forward them, either with Re repor or, if the
report had already been forwarded, would send them along separately
25X1A9a to I wrote this up in a memo to with a 25X1A9a
recommendation that the survey pages involved not be rewritten.
This recommendation did not get to the DCI before he dispatched
the survey.

a. He would expand the second part of the "type$' state-
ment to include, in addition to basic, current and esti-
mates, special reports and other-materials as discussed
in para D of Tab A.
b. Since he believes that subsidizing is wrong, he
would not accept the recommendation that CIA's _a-
subsidy to State for NIS be increased by any
amount. and I discussed this point with Gen-
eral Cabell on Friday, at which time he mentioned his
position. We pointed out that, the question of funds en-
tirely aside, we maintained a conclusion that the produc-
tion needed to meet the "typeb' could more completely and
more economically be achieved by an expansion of NIS.
General Cabell wishes that this conclusion be stated in
terms, but that the recommendation based on this conclu-
sion m,,~ 1 State's action to expansion of NIS. He
would accept a statement that State should expand NIS,
provided that that conclusion adds that the question of sub-
sidy will be reexamined. suggested that State

will need, and the DCI should supply, some form of support
at the moment when financial support is reached. General
Cabell agreed with this point and further agreed to consider
on his return, a draft letter to State which would make it
clear that the subsidy would come to an end on a date cer-
tain, thus putting State on notice that they would be on their
own.

1. Received from DDT draft DCID 15/1 and draft covering
IAC Document. In conference with Dr. Guthe, I suggested that
he take up with the DDI a proposal to restore the DCID 3/4
language that an Agency making studies in another Agency's
field would not normally disseminate them. This language had
been changed by Mr. Amory to enjoin that such Agencies would
not normally undertake such studies. The DDI refused to buy
this change. He did accept another proposal, namely, to have
the FIC advise concerning proposed external research projects
rather than recommend.
2. consulted me again concerning FOA's
interest in establishing connections with the intelligence community.
He showed me, and Mr. Reber perusedsome memoranda he had.
gotten together bearing on the FOA case. It turns out that what
was originally described by FOA as an AFOIN requirement was in
fact a carefully drawn and coordinated all-service requirement
submitted to FOA by JCS.
3. Commander Wohler informed me that he, as Commander
Cragg's replacement, would be the ONI representative on the
NSC status report. I told him that I,had heard nothing about that

dogs.

impossible in the future. (NIE 100-54 was recommended by the

2. consulted me concerning the new CIA regula-
tion on control of NSC information. After checking with 5X1A9a
and arranging with her that OCD would initiate a proposed chap
and submit it through her to DD/A, I drafted such a change. 25X1A9a
25X1A9a -modified the change and I modified his change of the change
and, as so modified, it went forward on 6 May. It points out that
the NSC Executive Secretary may exempt documents or series of
documents from the control provisions from time to time and that he
has, in fact, so exempted NSCIDs.
3. In connection with the USIA Survey I sent to
on the 5th, 6th and 7th of May memoranda respecting the Inter-
national Broadcasting Service's reference facilities, including the
index of researcig", reports produced by IBS and provided to the
survey team by the Chief of the IBS Library Branch.
Tuesday, 4 May
1. Attended IAC, which was largely devoted to consideration
of the report of the ad hoc committee of the Watch Committee
25X1A9a Checked minutes with Sheldon and - of OCI,
of ONE, and Amory. On Wednesday I drafted a "pursuance clause"
to the terms of reference in order to cast them in the form of a
DCID (1/2).In this pursuance clause I attempted to get the effect of
the pertinent sub-paragraph of paragraph 10 of NSC 162/2. Because
this would do some violence to the DCI's tentative recommendation
to reproduce all of paragraph 10 in the terms of reference and
attribute them to 162/2, I also drafted a memorandum from Sheldon
to Amory explaining why my approach had been taken and, as well,
drafted opening paragraphs for a memo from Amory to the NSC
which would induce the NSC to notify executive departments and
agencies of the requirement that they make their material available
to the Watch Committee. This attempt was successful.

next week that the Planning Board has NSCIDs 11 and 12 "under

this subject pending General Cabell's return, OIC believing that
it will be necessary for General Cabell to explain the matter to the
DCI if we are to do other than that which the DCI suggested, namely,
merely raise NSCID 12 from Restricted to Confidential.

not assigned to another office or committee.

USIA Survey, his problem of obtaining a periodic publication of
USIA/Rome, "Italian Press Trends." I suggested that rather than
having the survey team. ascertain the facts and request this publica-
tion be provided, he should have the Liaison Division
push this matter to the limit of his capability. By so doing, we
would all learn something about Liaison Division's capabilities in
working with USIA.

the document that Air Force would want to have a minimum of
two weeks to consider the paper. I so informed- who later
informed me that Messrs. Amory and Sheldon wanted the IAC
to consider it at their meeting of 4 May. I so informed the agencies
and ONE, whereupon ONE wrote a paper suggesting changes in
the document. This was discussed by ONE and OCI with DDI on
Friday'the 30th, and by DDI with DCI on Saturday the 1st. During

A Wave, Lt . Misenhelter of ONI (13-1-56038) inquired of
me the "need to know" of the RIC because the Navy member of the'
RIC is being replaced by another officer who is not fully cleared.
She had been speaking with of OCI for a week
or so without result. I suggested that the RIC would not be
completely served by an agency member who was not fully
cleared but suggested that for the real answer to her question
she consult As far as "need to know" was concerned,
I referred her to the IAC document establishing the committee
and suggested that the terms of reference might indicate to her
satisfaction whether or not there was a "need to know. "
3. On seeing Regulation 10-315 of 19 April on "Control of
NSC Information" I suggested to that she propose a
change in this regulation which would make it clear that NSCID's
by decision of the NSC Executive Secretary, are excluded from
the provisions regarding control of NSC Information. She under-
took to do this , advising OCD. When OCD inquired of me what
they should do in view of the regulation, I suggested that they
disregard it insofar as NSCIDs are concerned and rely rather on
the memorandum from excepting NSCID.

2. Colonel Anderson called me about DCID 3/4 and in
the course of the conversation he admitted that interest in
DCID 3/4 had been incited by G-2's negative reaction to a pro-
posed series of 1954 conferences with on guided
25X1A9a missiles and electronics. I ascertained from
that Chadwell had been informally requested by to
appraise whether or not it would be profitable to have such con-
ferences. Some P&E people had made approaches to the wor~-
ing level in The Pentagon and these had been followed up by
similar approaches on the part of ASD people. I called Anderson
and undertook to see to it that no formal arrangements for con-
ferences-'C beaa made unilaterally by CIA/OSI. This seemed to
calm him, although he took the opportunity to mention, also, his
belief that DSI was passing OSI substantive material which was
25X1A9a not subsequently getting to The Pentagon. -undertook to

25X1A9a agreed that the regulations should be viewed as _i
logical continuance of (1) the Act: (2) the NSCIDs, and (3) the
DCIDs .(-eef which he had never heard). We did not reach agree -
ment as to the detail with which procedures should be included

Messrs. in a discussion of the JIC memo to
25X1A9a _ insofar as it relates to the OSI memo of 9 September to the

5. In trying to clean up the one remaining unprinted

Force and Navy suggestions as to the revision of this directive.
They later informed me that although both agencies felt that thc!
directive could be improved it was not sufficiently important tc

have this matter reexamined in DD/P. I suggested that the DL'/P

3. Attended PRC, which approved the -expenses but
which only approved the OSI scientific education study with the
Chairman's dissent. As indicated during the course
of the discussion by reference to our conduct of scientific
biographic registering, it was obvious that General Cabell
was implicitly questioning not merely the specific proposal but
rather the underlying question of the validity of scientific
intelligence itself. I saw Brent informally to raise this suggestion
with him and to urge OSI to be something more than merely annoyed.
Thursday, 17 September
1. Talked both to Mr. Sheldon and General Willems
respecting the Watch Committee proposal for an indications
center; Mr. Sheldon wished another week and General Willems
had no objection. Consequently the item will not be discussed

2. Joined nd Wally for lunch with Burres,
Chief of the Reporting Division in State. The problem is that
Commerce and Agriculture have challenged the present system
of centralized control in State of Foreign Service reporting
requirements and have gotten the Board of Foreign Service to
invite a management engineering firm to explore the problem.
Wrote this up as a log item for the DCI and arranged informally
with Burres and Nordbeck that the management firm would con-
sult CIA.

1. I asked and whether the "H"
Bomb developments proved anything as to the efficacy of DCID I1 /1.
They alleged that the Directive had worked but that it should be
amended in that it was developed solely in terms of a then existing
and limited - capability; this capability has been enlarged
and the Directive should reflect the new capability. I offered the
services of OIC to 0SI and JAEIC in this regard.
2. Borrowed from -(Chief, Navy Branch, AlUed
Science/ Division, OSI) his copy of the ONI Roster, which had been
smuggled by OCD Liaison Division. I wished to see how many
political intelligence personnel there were. I also ascertained from
his opinion that the slick magazines produced by the military
intelligence headquarters serve the purposes largely of prestige
and recreation for officer-consumers, and a handy way to put service
vi ewpoint as to foreign affairs in the hands of service personnel.

administrative aspects of the Intelligence Periodicals Index. This Index

4. Began a review of the military services' intelligence periodicals.
I did this review by using the semi-annual Wcumulation of the IPI for
the period January-June 1953. Although hunting primarily for political
articles appearing in the service periodicals, the survey raises ad-
ditional questions which might be suitable for nominating to the LAC
agencies for discussion. Typical are:
a) When the services copy, digest, or compend articles
previously appearing in State publications, might they well not
give attribution, both for the purpose of morality and also in
order to avoid false confirmation;
b) When subsidiary cos reproduce in their intelli-
gence publications articles appearing previously in the major
publications of the services, might they not also give full
identification;
c) Might not an increasing use of State material be possible
in the military publications;
d) What is the real benefit of these slick magazines, anyway?

drop this function in view of the budget cuts. OCD's suggestion was
that the regulation merely be rescinded. We got a memorandum out of

I so informed - and then discovered that his problem was
limited to providing certain field commanders with pertinent parts
of NSCID-5. I reminded him of the sensitivity of NSCIDs 5 and 'l,
but took the position that the policy on distribution of all directives
other than those two was set by the DCI's memo of February 27, 1953.
This memo prefaces the compilation of directives and orders that
the compilation be available to those whose duties require its use.
He asked for two more copies of the compilation and I referred him
to OCD. He indicated that NSCID-5 would not be sent abroad, as
such.

Planning. We agreed to think about using the semi-annual report- A wsc_?
as the basis for inquiring of various offices how they stood on
unsolved problems and deficiencies and how we might aid there.
Wednesday, 29 July 1953
1. agreed to get OCD to list the categories of
publications at the front of OCD's research aid on "Serial Publica-
tions and Information Reports". OCD also agreed to retitle their
new "Special Biographic Release", "Biographic Intelligence
Bulletin".
2. long staff study to General Cabell
on Escape & Evasion seemed lacking in the clarity of its
recommendations. Accordingly, it was returned to Dr. Guthe,
who undertook to have these recommendations rephrased.
3. At the request of covert Personnel, assembled IAD
representatives for review of 20 more files on M mission
personnel.
4. Drafted memo to AD/SI on the subject of noise-listening,
it having been seven months since OSI was very excited about
this subject, at which time DD/I asked that OSI work with OIC.
This also seemed desirable to do in the light of the statement
in the NSC report that progress on noise-listening was slow.
5. Reviewed and discussed at length with Messrs. Reber
and - the _ proposal for linguistic study which DD/I
wished pushed but which the apparently interested offices were
uninterested. I felt it desirable to try hard to arouse the substantive
offices' interest before underwriting the research by OIC.

reminded the group of the DDCI's instruction; this elicited no
response. OIC might well (a) use the DDCI and Dq memos as

"working paper", apparently prepared by PMS, on the subject of
"CIA Responsibility for Counter-Sabotage" came to OIC for comment.
This document, apparently the brain child of some DD/P planners,
makes frequent reference to NSC 29 and NSC 97. I drafted comments
and held them for return. Later informed

problem of assuring the clearance of CIA visitors to IAC meetings.
attended Tuesday's meeting but the item on clearances was not
reached and will be discussed at the meeting on July 14, at which time
will again attend. They suggested a CIA notice, based on the IAC
document on clearance s,which would make each AD responsible for
assuring proper clearances of their employees attending IAC meetings.
25X1A9a
2. Attended a special meeting called by the fir)'I, at which he
explained to the IADs that Chairman Tabor had written a footnote on
the CIA budget at the time it was released to the full House. This note
said that it was the desire of the Committee that CIA employment not
exceed that of fiscal "53. An appeal to the Senate was scheduled for
Friday, but did not take place as the Senate recessed. An appeal back
to Tabor is thus the next step. The officers were asked to reexa -nine
their program so that they could tentatively decide what functions to
abandon in case the squeeze remains on. No firings will be necessary
in any case. SAM informed me that when this matter was discussed with
the DCI on Thursday, Mr. Amory mentioned that one additional reason
we would need relief would be so that we would have leeway to pick tap
State Dept. functions. When the DCI evidenced no knowledge of this
problem, Mr. Amory pointed out that OIC had been pursuing it with
General Cabell , which the DCI apparently thought was just fine. On
Friday Matt Baird called me and said that he had attended this meeting
and understood that OIC was in this problem; in that event, he would
like us to rerneml er that the Office of Training will necessarily be
affected by whatever happens to the Foreign Service Institute. I under-
took to keep this in mind, but told him it had not previously entered our
thinking or conversations with State.
3. All agencies replied that they agreed to the proposed printing
of EIC-Rl-S2 and ORR proceeded to print it.

Joint Staff not represented on the IAC. The personalities involved
have something to do with this thought, but even with personalities
aside the fact that the Joint Staff has no collection or production

into the manner in which the IAC agencies handle critical
information. He showed me a staff study signed off by Cabell.
At my request he provided me with seven copies, which I undertook
to plant with the LAC representatives fnformally in order to elicit
their informal reaction.
3. Spoke with about proposed DCID 7/1. G-2 has
questioned the inclusion of offers of "services" and of "operational
support" as being enlargements of NSCID 7. When it appeared that
00 would lose nothing by dropping this verbiage, I urged 25X1A9a
so to do.
4. informed me that he would be gone until
15 July and inquired whether might spent some time
with us so that she could learn the details of the IAC machinery and
hence be prepared to take over the IAC Secretariat when
returned. I expressed surprise that this problem was sufficiently
resolved to make it profitable for so to penetrate
us. --said it was his understanding that Amory had decided
this question and that all that remained was to set a definite date
for take over. I played dumb and suggested that we await the
return of Messrs. grudgingly agreed to
this, saying that ONE would probably not want to assume the IAC
functions until August or September anyway.
5. At the DD/I luncheon, Mr. Amory invited comment as to
whether CIA should push for unification of military intelligence.
It was apparent that he felt that this would be ultimately beneficial
to us (e. g. we would only have to go one place instead of four, etc.).
No one agreed. Sherman Kent pointed out the theoretical necessity
for intelligence to be closely tied to policy consumers. Jamie
Andrews pointed out that organizatior6will always have intelligence
services, this meaning that if military intelligence were unified,
then shortly thereafter each sepatate service would initiate its
informal intelligence, the net result being five military intelligence
services rather than the four now iA existence and certainly rather
than one. All did agree, however, that it would be helpful were the

worked out a revision and on Saturday I delivered this to Col. Fuller

2. At the request of DD/P personnel, assembled in OIC
the DD/I people concerned with personnel. Fifty files
were reviewed. Those subject to this phase of th
reduction appeared to be more mature and to have more to offer
than the group involved last winter.
3. Received from Mr. AorLry a memorandum suggesting a
revision of DCID 4/2. which .d4 make certain that item No. 1
("Taking Direct Military Action Against the Continental U, S. ")
was specifically worded to include clandestine delivery of weapons
of mass destruction. Mr. Amory, who said that General Cabell
wanted this done, had been moved to this proposal by the revision
of SE-36. I took this opportunity to pull together our tentative
more sweeping revision of this directive and to forward it to
Mr. Amory "for guidance". On Saturday he stated that he thought
the more sweeping revision desirable and suggested that we have
drafts ready by July 16, the day when the NSC will reconvene on
153/1 and draft a new policy.
4. asked me whether our NSC Status Report
would touch on psychological warfare. I reminded him that we
did have a section on Intelligence Support for those programs.
He wanted to be able to inform PSB on this question and he under-
took to give the PSB man involved OIC's telephone number and
interest in the problem.

3. At Dr. Chadwell's request, and so that he could answer a
question of Adm. Strauss', I located a 1947 paper on atomic en_>rgy
intelligence. Apparently there is in the offing a suggestion that
AEC drop its intelligence unit and rely upon CIA and JAEIC. (This
would, of course, result in the removal of AEC from the IAC.))
I undertook with Chadwell to see that this old material on AE, held
in OIC as inheritor from ICAPS, would be turned over to OSI/NED.
4. At Brent's request, explained to him our. contact, interest,

with Cabell sometime before his departure in order to get guidance
for CIA/State relations during the month of Cabell's absence. Luckily
I was unable to see Cabell. Meanwhile, on Friday morning, Ted
informed me that the R Area people had finally gotten to Wdsles,
who had for the first time seen the problem and had agreed that
the R Area should be uninhibited in its relations with CIA a4 in

OCI's material throughout the meeting, raised the matter of

to the IAC. Mr. Dulles asked that the procedure be circulated.
Before doing so, I made a copy available to General Cabell and called
the IAC representatives to remind them of /9 December 1951 memo,
after which I circulated it as IAC-D-68/1. Also asked and
of OCI to give this problem some thought. Subsequently
General Cabell returned his copy of the procedure to OIC , stating
that in his opinion it was the correct way to handle this problem.
Later Col. Lansing called to say that Porter had forgotten the
procedure but, on reviewing it, felt that it was right.
