Chief of Support in
I emphasized to him that I did not think that it was
in his best interests to stay in - any longer than is necessary to transfer
in an orderly and effective way his operational assets to someone else. He agreed
fully with this. .(Inasmuch as he has definitely foregone attendance in the Industrial
War College this year, I think it should be our objective to get him in next year's
course and to have him return from _in time to attend it.)
2. H. Gates Lloyd and I had a long session with Matt Baird concerning the
Clandestine Services request that JOT's be transferred to the CS immediately
after completion of their formal training. Matt felt very strongly that this was
wrong and not in the Agency's best long-term interest. I asked Matt to prepare
a paper setting forth his arguments which we can transmit to Dick Helms, and
possibly thereafter we can arrange to discuss the matter with him. (I should like
to avoid taking this up in the Executive Committee Meeting if possible.)
3. Matt Baird is greatly concerned about the image we are creating at the
service schools such as the Army War College by sending speakers who are not
senior enough and who do not "come clean" with the schools. I told him that I
would be glad to take this up with Dick Helms when he returns from the Far East.
4. I approved of the Office of Security withdrawing rom the 25X1A9a
Counter-Insurgent Course at the National War College so that he can accompany
Shef Edwards and to the West Coast next week to be briefed thoroughly
on the security aspects of the overhead reconnaissance business.
5. Major General Earle F. Cook (Deputy Chief Signal Officer of the Department
of the Army), Mr. E. Finley Carter of Stanford We
r h Institute, and several of
their associates were here to brief nd me on the results of a 25X1A9a
three-year study which SRI has ma a concerning the nation's total communications
organization. The briefing was very interesting, very long-range in its outlook
(ten to fifteen years), and favored the consolidation of all existing and projected
communication systems of the country into one system. They are about to make

their report to the Secretary of Defense. (No action on our part is required at this
point.) We expressed our appreciation to the group for the briefing and expressed
our interest in being kept abreast of the situation as it develops. We also invited
Major General Cook to come back for a somewhat detailed briefing on our communi-
cation requirements, capabilities, etc.; he said that he would like very much to
do this in the near future.
