DIARY NOTES
DD/S 10 January 1966
* * * * * *
. Mr. Osborn briefed me this morning on a staff agent 25X1A
ho has been drinking to excess and creating operational
cu ties. s to advise him that he can no longer be
used on his operational project and that he must submit himself to the medics
for assistance. We may have problems and precautionary steps are being
taken.
2. I met with Mr. Cline and advised him that the Agency Notice on
his transfer to the position of Special Assistant to the Director and the
appointment of Jack Smith as DD/I would be announced today. Mr. Cline
suggested that a meeting of the 200 top DD/I officers be called in the
auditorium where Mr. Cline could make a few remarks and, in effect, turn
over the reins to Jack Smith. I said this sounded all right but it certainly
should have the approval of Mr. Helms before any action is taken. Mr.
Cline agreed to do this. I further suggested that his statements be to the
point and quite clear and not have any ambiguous content.
