DIARY NOTES
DD/ ~ -f, 2 April 1962
1. I asked Shef Edwards to expedite consultation with the Deputy Director
(Plans) about sealing off the DD/P Area so that we could make a recommenda-
tion to the Director.
2. I asked Larry Houston to advise me as to wh

I also talked with Matt Baird about this probl
should accept this layout, the Bureau of the Budget Circular indicated that we
would have to report to the Bureau the reason we deviated from the norm. I
therefore asked Matt to study this matter more carefully to see if there weren't
some loopholes of which we could make use and still live with the Circular.
25X1A9a (In this connection I telephoned Jim Garrison to say that I saw nothing in his
appraisal about how he proposed to handle charges for utilities. I asked him to
work with the Office of Training and develop something on this.)

3. I agreed with hould extend in Europe
for another year. (This poses the problem of what to do about our War College
candidates inasmuch a are both tied up with Task Force
W.)
4. The Director has invited to lunch with the new Presi-
dent of the_Corporation on Tuesda 10 A ril. I asked Jim Garrison to ad-
vise me of any contracts that we have witl about which
might not know.
5. Inasmuch as we are now flooded with requests for KY-1 telephones, I
have asked to compile a comprehensive survey of our re-
quirements from which we will have to establish priorities.
6. th
Officer, were in to talk with me about their proposal to buil a but er-type ware-
house at an estimated cost of $23, 000 and a combination firehouse and security
building at an estimated $32, 000. I told him that I approved the proposal in
principle and asked them to develop an appropriate paper for Project Review Com-
mittee or DDCI consideration.
7. Shef Edwards queried me as to whether I had any objection to two or three
people from the International Division of the Bureau of the Budget having badges.
Inasmuch as we have several hundred such badges in circulation, I do not think
that we can object to these particular ones being issued.

8. called to say that he was writing a letter to the General Ser-
vices Administration telling them that we would pay for certain moves from the
downtown area to the new building. I told him that since it was my understand-
ing that we had budgeted for this and that we would have to pay, I did not object
to his letter.

He will consult with the justice Department without delay to see if we can agree
on language that would protect us. If not, we should seek an audience with
Congressman Dawson as soon as possible.

10. I participated in a meeting with General Carter, Mr. Dulles, General
Cabell, and Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Echols to discuss the idea of forming a CIA
Alumni Association. It was not a terribly fruitful meeting, and Emmett took
rather detailed notes. However, I believe that the consensus was that we should
use our existing stand-by reserve organization and mechanism as a vehicle on
which to build. I undertook to prepare a staff study for General Carter's con-
sideration.
