DIARY NOTES
DD/S 31 August 1962
1. Mr. Kirkpatrick telephoned to request that we not move units of the
Office of National Estimates from the seventh floor pending the completion of
a master plan. He said that he could find some way to accommodate the Director's
office in the interim. I warned him that it would take some time, at least three
or four weeks, to complete a master plan.
2. Jim Garrison telephoned to say that Virginia Metal Products had been
the successful bidder for the partitioning contract at (Mr. Abers-
feller, of GSA, also telephoned about this later in the day.)
3. Jim Garrison advised me that the Bureau of Public Roads was anxious
to get possession of the entire Matomic Building and that the Public Buildings Ser-
vice has called a meeting for all of the interested parties to discuss this possi-
bility. If this should happen, PBS would propose to build a building for us in
Virginia. All of this would take 1 1/2 to 2 years to accomplish. I asked Jim to
send a representative to the meeting and to keep me advised of developments.

4. was in to present to me a proposed letter to the Office
i of Emer ency Planning concerning slots at various locations, such as
etc. I found this letter too general and not complying with General
Carter's instructions; therefore, I asked him to redraft without delay appropriate,
more specific requests. 'iso presented for msignature a paper to General
Carter outlining this Agency's participation in This
appeared to be all right; however, I asked him to get DD/I and DD/P concurrences.
5. advised me that arrangements have been made with the Air
National Guard to do some flying for us between

the Bureau of the Budget, to discuss our supergrade study. is pre-
paring a more detailed memorandum of this conversation.) I ran through the
history of our study and emphasized our very strong feeling about it. While Mr.
Pettibone said that they did have some questions about the substance of our action,

they were more concerned at the moment about the timing. They felt that if word
leaked out that we were taking this action it might jeopardize passage of the Presi-
dent's Federal Pay Adjustment Act. He therefore requested that we delay imple-
mentation until Congress has acted on the pay bill, which now appears to be
1 October 1962. I talked with General Carter, and we agreed that we should adhere
to this request. I so advised Mr. Pettibone later in the day. The Bureau of the
Budget does wish to consider the substance of our action, and I have agreed to
furnish them a copy of the study which includes a ratio comparison with some
other agencies. Additionally, I have agreed to furnish them an estimate of the
rate at which we propose to fill the new positions created. (I don't anticipate that
we will have a great deal of additional trouble with this.)
7. Jim Garrison and 1, along with Dr. Scoville and Mr. Cunningham, met
with General Carter to discuss the contracting authority of the Office of Special
Activities, DD/R. We had a very thorough discussion of the whole matter, including
the pros and cons of continuing the present arrangement or of having OSA contracting
done in the normal way with DD/S assurance that there would be no deterioration

of the ee and no deterioration in the security. General Carter declined to
make a decision but felt that he had the problem well enough in hand to make one
within the next few days. Immediately following this meeting, I agreed to let
8. telephoned to say that, on further reflection, he had decided
not to take the job with GSA. Apparently he has learned that the job would involve
quite a bit of traveling, which he is not anxious to do.
9. was in to talk with me about his future. Our discussion
started with a very definite chip on his shoulder. He expressed his disappointment
and unhappiness about not being given the job of Chief of Support in the Africa
Division. He also indicated that he believed the only reason he was considered
for the assignment was because he was single. I spent some time dis-
cussing both of these matters with him, and I hope that I succeeded in knocking
the chip off his shoulder. I emphasized our system of rotation, selection, and
promotion of SA people and made it quite clear to him that, because he was Acting
Chief of Support for a period of time, he had no automatic claim to the position
nor to a promotion. I also emphasized to him that the fact that he was single

candidate for I went on to say that, in terms of assignment (especially
his five years in and of promotion, I thought that he had been very well
treated; and I certainly did not expect to apologize to him in any way if a hardship
post should be his next assignment. His attitude changed completely in the course
of the interview and ended by his saying that he was happy to take any assignment,
anywhere, at any time. We discussed specifically whether he might work for

appropriate assignment before too long.
10. At General Carter's request I conferred with

owes the Agency about $1800. General Carter was anxious to find some way to
relieve him of this responsibility. We arrived at a solution, and-under-
