1. George Carey of the Office of Operations telephoned to say that he understood
that the Director had approved of a new plan for keeping up activities and
that the Office of Operations was to get $150,000 to carry out its part o t e program.
He requested an allotment number against which he could start charging his expenses.
Ed Saunders investigated and found that while the Director had approved of an operational
plan the WHIJivision has not yet put a price tag on it; the Division was in the process of
doing this and the Office of Operations would come in for additional funds. I advised.
George of this and told him to charge his expenses against his regular allotment pending
the availability of new funds. 25X1A9A
2. telephoned and later came down to talk with me
about the seventh floor dining room. has recommended that we continue NO
to operate the mess as is, using only half of the space now provided for the Executive
Dining Room. However, ought that we should turn over the whole thing to General
Services, Incorporated. said that he was satisfied that this would not be practical
unless we were going to charge $1.50 or $2.00 per meal. I suggested to him that since
GSI had its hands full in trying to take over the cafeteria on the ground floor perhaps they
had better operate the dining room as is, at least until GSI had the cafeteria running well.
I made it clear that the operation of this mess was their responsibility and that the decision
as to how they ran it was theirs.
3. Emmett Echols advised me that the President's Executive Order on Labor Man-
agement Relations specifically exempted the FBI and CIA. Mr. Hoover of the FBI, apparently,
demanded that the FBI be exempted, and the Bureau of the Budget included CIA on its own
initiative.
]was in to see me about several items:
a. He delivered an unsigned audit report on Project MKULTRA, in.
which he recommended, among other things, that this Project be resub-
mitted for new approval inasmuch as he believed its current activities
were quite different from those envisaged at the time of the Director's
approval in 1953. However, he was not anxious to raise any more prob-
lems unnecessarily which might indicate that we did not have adequate
control over our funds and thought that we could devise procedures to
patch up present deficiencies if that was what was wanted. I told him
that I would study his report and be in touch with him.

b. He also alerted me to the fact that they had completed recently an
audit of some of the activities of the Finance Division and that their report
would not be complimentary.
5. I Iwas in to say good-bye. She enters on duty with the Defense
Intelligence Agency at her present grade on Monday. She said that while the elimination
of the Management Staff had been rough on a number of people she agreed that the decision
to abolish it was proper from the Agency's point of view.
6. Walt Elder telephoned to say that General Cabell was referring Mr. Bissell's
paper on "early retirement" to the Career Council. `J"'
25X1A6A 8. II advised me that had briefed him on the unhappy situa-
25X1A9A tion in0in which were involved and requested that
he ascertain whether there had been any misuse of funds by during his next audit
25X1A9A of the Station. Les will, of course, send me a copy of the report that he makes to Gordon.
9. I had lunch with Emmett Echols at which time I suggested that his communica-
tions with left something to be desired. I suggested that
he hold regular periodic meetings with them to ensure that there was a clear understanding
as to what they were supposed to be working on, what direction they were going, etc. I
also mentioned to him the Director's desire to consider the possibility of having a CIA
League or an Alumni Association and told him that I would like to discuss this with him after
he had an opportunitylo study memorandum on this subject.
