DIARY NOTES
1. I attempted to find out from he status oI
is apparentl holding off to to to Larry Houston next week. 25X1 A
George estimates tha ill want something in excess of $250 a day
plus expenses. This is based on a charge of $50.00 per hour with five
useful hours in the day. This is more or less standard practice among
lawyers.
2. As of the close of the day ad talked to one of
people. It would appear tha s not as adamant as they
sour e at first but they want furthe ation before they withdraw
their objection to the route . In view of this, we are asking for a
deferment until 28 September which I understand has been approved ..
as advised and he will call at the Department of
25X1A
25X1A

3. In connection with the phase-out, is confid 25X1A
there is no objection in the Plans Directorate to e continuation o
as it line authorized to carry its own cargo under charter an
the personnel as well. I suggested this to George as an alternative.
Sin n't think of it, he didn't like it, but finally allowed that it would
be useful to retain any residual capability.
MISCELLANEOUS
4. I talked to about letting the DD/S know of any
requirement for alterations an or decoration of Deputy Directors suites
in advance. Jim understands and will keep you advised if he gets anything
costing more than $500.

7. I met with Bob Fuchs the other day and he is in full agreement
that tot be assi ed to the Office of Communications. He has a
problem in absorbing"nto the Office of Finance, but I assured him
that this is a problem that he will simply have to face.
8. 1 presentedEE1 f Records Management Staff with a 25X1A
Quality Step Increase today. III in reviewing a requisition 25X1A
for some $7500 worth of filing equipment, staffed it out thoroughly with
the result that the entire requisition was cancelled. This is a very good
accomplishment. TSD has invite people to follow up in another 25X1A
branch since they were so pleased wi e paper management survey per-
formed earlier this year.
25X1A
9 tad a communi-
cation fro which had been coordinated with He 25X1A
wants a "top flight budget man, planner, construction engineer, an e
wants the planning team to be established on a permanent basis:' Clearly,
is not a bit shy about asking for people. FE is not enthusiastic
such a large staff build-up. We will get a copy of=nformal 25X1A
letter .
10. TheMMneeting with Mr. Helms went off pretty well. He
wants to have one final meeting morning, time not established.
He rules out any suggestion :ha as an appeal to the IG, the Director,25X1A
or anybody else. He wants to stir strictly to the terms of the contract.
The press release should indicate that the 30-day Notice of Termination
is available to the contract employee as well. He accepted FitzGerald's
suggestion that the Letter of Termination state something to the effect
that "You have been employed by the Central Intelligence Agency as a
contract employee. U e terms of that contract, etc., etc . " The
thought here is that if ~akes this to the press, it will clearly indicate
that he is different from our regularly appointed people. The injunction is
out. Mr. Helms feels that the injunction would merely stir up more problems
than it would solve, and the individual would always have the opportunity of
having moonlight meetings with a newspaperman and deny that he had ever
done so. Finally, Mr. Helms agrees that we cannot waste any more time
on the jewels and that this should be handled if, as, and when it is raised
by the newspapers.
