1, Jim Garrison reports that bought $1$,000 worth of materiel af-
ter he had been given written instructions not to make additional urchases. The
materiel was no good and there was some unpleasantness in telling a" that 25 1A9a
we would refuse to pay the bill. With all of the ramifications, we now have our
money back and the incident is closed.
5. Jim Garrison talked to me about a grade GS-16 for the Chief of his Supply
Division. Told him of the recommendations we had made for his Office as a whole
and requested that he wait until the Director had acted upon these recommendations
before pressing the matter further. Also emphasized to Jim that we were getting
a sizeable number of military personnel in his shop in key positions and that we
must make plans now to replace these people with competent civilians when their
tours of duty were up. He is keenly aware of this and is taking action according-
ly.
6. Jim Reber called to inquire whether or not it was our intent to include
NSCIDts and DCID's in our new Regulations. I told him that it was not, and stated
that it was not necessary for him to take any initiative in connection with the
preparation of regulations in which he had a primary interest until we so requested.

of training should be conducted by the Agency.

The Deputy Director (Administration) was requested to negotiate the lease
and staff an administrative plan for presentation to the Project Review Committee.

Colonel Baird's estimates over to him for analysis. I will turn another copy over
25X1A9a to for staffing of a complete administrative plan.

the matter for sure on Wednesday., the 10th.
