DDS 14 October 1957
1. Talked to about Senator Joseph A. Frear's interest in the
CIA Budget. Told RE our policy had been that we would not give this
figure to anyone except a member of the Appropriations Committee or the Armed
Services Committee and, then, only to those Congressmen or Senators who sat in
on our hearings. The Director has in the past taken the position that other
Congressmen should go to these Committees to get whatever information the
Committee is willing to release. John will, of course, follow the party line
and if he gets in a tight spot, we will talk to the Director about it.
2. I advised that I was approving the retention in an
enlisted status of Lt. Colonels ith the understanding that
this exception was good only so long as it took these two individuals to
complete twenty years of active military service.

3. I did considerable checking with the Military Personnel Division, the
Office of Security and the Office of Training on the record of Lt. Col. -
ho we have been asked to hire by '"t7Sf the House Appropriations
Committee Staff. As of now, I have referred the papers to and asked
that DD/I consider taking him on. He cannot be given a Special Intelligenc7A5X1A9a
Clearance, but only because he has relatives living behind the Iron Curtain.
He had a good record with CIA; however, his language is not good enough to be
used as both a language and area instructor. has promised me a
prompt DD/I position.

information gained from his audit of MKULTRA and I assured him it was.
6. Talked with Gordon Stewart, Larry Houston, Harry Reynolds and others to
discuss what our standard operating pr for termination cases should be.
It was agreed that the burden of t~ in almost every case must be on the
chain of command, with the Office of Personnel assisting in every possible way
and bringing in other Agency components, particularly the General Counsel, where
necessary. It was also understood that the Director of Personnel must avoid
taking a position in a given case in the beginning, inasmuch as he has an
obligation to the employee as well as to the supervisor. We also feel that
where an employee does not elect to resign, it is going to be necessary to
furnish him specific charges against him. Where the individual has responded
to these charges, the Director of Personnel may be able to make a recommendation
based upon this alone. If not, and he feels that additional supplementary
evidence is needed, then he should take the necessary action to obtain it.
Presumably, based on all of this he will be able to make his recommendation to
