DIARY NOTES
10 January 1964
1. Paul Borel telephoned to protest stoppage of work which would move
certain DD/I components to the first floor. He said that he understood work
had been stopped because the Foreign Installations Branch (successor of the
Industrial Register) was being considered for movement out of the Head-
quarters building. He said that this office simply could not be such a candi-
date, and even if DD/I had to move some element it would not be the Foreign
Installations Branch. (I asked to look into this and to get it
settled without delay.)
2. I talked to Bob Fuchs about telephone economy, and we agreed to
eliminate his 'call director.
3. 1 had lunch with John Clarke, during which time he solicited my views
on hiring of the Bureau of the Budget at grade GS-16 to be the
Agency's Budget Officer. I told him that I had a high regard for Frank and
that, while I would much prefer to see him come aboard at grade GS- 15, if
we had to give him a grade GS-16 to get him I would endorse this action.
grounds. Bob approved.
4. John Clarke and I met with Bob Amory and Don Smith at the Bureau of
the Budget to discuss our proposal to build a printing plant on Headquarters
a. During this meeting Bob asked what we were going to do about
the Director's limousine. I said that I considered it completely unsat-
isfactory from the security point of view for the Director not to have a
glass partition between his chauffeur and him and the Cadillac limousine
is the only way to provide this. Bob agreed with this position, and we
have an informal understanding that we can keep the Director's limousine.
There is to be no exchange of correspondence on this subject, and the
limousine is not to show in any reports. If a problem ever arises, Bob
has agreed to accept full responsibility for the Bureau of the Budget in
approving this exception on security grounds. He said, however, that
he would expect the Agency to comply with the remainder of BOB Circu-
lar No. A-22 dated 19 December 1963, subject: "Limousines, heavy
sedans, and medium sedans in agencies of the executive branch, " I
told him that we expected to comply but were not going to take any im-
mediate action to dispose of our cars. We might wait a few months and
see what happens. I think he endorsed this position; certainly he did
not object to it.

b. We then talked about personnel ceilings, and John Clarke told
Bob that the Agency was not going to volunteer any further reductions.
Bob said that he thought this was shortsighted and that, if we did not
volunteer something, we might get an arbitrary cut. He smiled when
he said, "of about 10 percent." He said that the Agency for Interna-
tional Development with 7, 000 employees was being cut 1, 000 and that
he felt we might have to take some further reductions. I pointed out
that, if we did, our attrition would not take care of the situation and
that we would have to resort to some kind of a reduction in force.
c. We talked about our Executive Pay Scale, which Bob referred
to as our "super supergrades." He said that, if and when Congress
passes the new pay bill, he did not feel that the Agency could expect
to retain all of these positions which we now have. He said that the
pay bill is supposed to provide comparable pay for comparable work
and that if grade GS-18 went to $24, 500 or thereabouts, we certainly
were not going to be able to have very many positions above that. He
volunteered that he had no reservations at all about Deputy Directors
or others who except for security reasons would be Presidential ap-
pointees at the Assistant Secretary or slightly lower level, but he
thought that there ought to be very few of these. He said that we would
have to obtain Presidential approval for all of these positions, that he
would screen them at the Bureau, and that we could expect a very
rough time if we did not cut down substantially on the number.
d. John Clarke is preparing an official Memorandum for the
Record of this meeting.
5. ' im Garrison advised me that the team negotiating a settlement with
is still on the West Coast and negotiations are
still progressing. The chief of our team told Jim that from casual remarks
being dropped at - he gathered that the personnel intended to con-
tinue this kind of work under a different company. He passed along the names
of two companies which he had heard mentioned; one is 25X1A5a1
and the other is I have passed this along to both Tom 25X1A5a1
and Jack Earman, who said positively that they were not to
continue under any other company.
