DIARY NOTES
25X1A
A-~ A 20 July 1953
1. Approved of Dr. Tietjen going to Philadelphia tomorrow on a recruiting
trip and also going on leave from Philadelphia to Albany, returning here on Thurs-
day. 25X1A9a
25X1A 3. Asked Larry Houston to telephone Bill Rogers, The Deputy Attorney General,
and informally solicit his advice as to the possibility of setting up a special
Board to consider the case. Larry reported that Mr. Rogers was sympathetic
but had no definite ideas this time. (In discussing the matter with the Direc-
tor at the Deputies' Meeting on Tuesday, 21 July, I gathered that the Director's
primary concern was to get a reply off to Senator McCarthy. He has a draft which
has been concurred in by the Deputy Director (Plans), Deputy Director (Intelli-
gence), and the General Counsel. He was not sure ,that he wanted to do about the
Board. I am inclined to think that he may not convene a Board until after Congress
has adjourned.)

Bob Amory was in to say t
Office of the Deputy Director (Administration) did not want him he would like to
consider placing him somewhere in his own area. I have given action on this to
the Military Personnel Division.
5. Jim Garrison assured me that the Central Processing versus Passenger
Movement hassle would move forward without further delay. As I understand it, not
much in the way of actual implementation can be accomplished until the move takes
place. 25X1A9a
25X1A9a 6. Discussed with Jim Garrison the possibility of employing
as Chief of his Purchase Division., looks very good on paper, 25X1A
having served a number of years with Sears & Roebuck at salaries in excess of
$25,000. He comes highly recommended. I told Jim that I would be inclined to go
ahead with processing his papers. 25X1 A9a

8. Talked to Ed Saunders about our plans in connection with Bureau of the
Budget Bulletin No. 53-31 on ""end of the year purchasing." Ed felt that we should
not submit a report unless specifically asked to do so. 25X1A
9, Asked to look into the case of who, as I under-
MMI tand it, owes the Agency 8,390.30 because of acme overpaymen .
s
U. - Informed that we 'raou].d be in touch with him within the next
few days to discuss the and decide whether or not we should go
ahead with this construction in view of the restrictive budgetary policy for Fis-
cal Year 1954.
12,E Lars Houston, and I met concerning the recommendation that
had been made to pay a about 42500., approximately $800 of which appear-
ed to Larry and me toustified, and, in fact, could be considered as an in-
centive to persuade to resign. We agreed that we should not allow this
payment and that insofar as the evidence to date was concerned we would recamnmend
to the Director that be fired if he chose not to resign.
14. Asked - to investigate a report that the Public Buildings Service
is removing air conditioners from the temporary space that we are moving into in
the Alcott Hall area.
15. and I met with representatives of the General Services Admin-
istration to discuss "space." As a result of an exchange of correspondence with
the Bureau of the Budget, the General Services Administration has looked into our
space problem and, in brief, is definitely opposed to ax attempt to move CIA
into an existing structure, believing that the real solution to our problem is
the construction of a new building. The agency is prepared to support this posi-
tion with members of Congress at our request. -
