Approved For Releas 000/08/27. IP76-00183 00500030013-4 DD/S DIARY NOTES 23 October 1964 1. On my way to the office this morning I noticed a rezoning sign con- spicuously displayed on the property adjacent to our entrance on Route 123. (I aske to find out exactly what this sign says and what it means. Having learned later from the sign that there will be a hearing by the Board of County Supervisors at the Fairfax County Courthouse on 4 November 1964 to consider rezoning of this property, I asked to draft a letter to the Chairman of the Board objecting to this rezoning application more strongly than we did in our letter to the Fairfax County Planning Commission.) 2. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning: a. Mr. Kirkpatrick reported to the Director that, according to a paper he had received from me, we are saving $25, 000 a year by turning off the lights in at night. He said that he thought something should be done about the Headquarters building since at 10:15 p.m. last night from the front of the building one could see 60 percent of the lights on the seventh floor, 80 percent of the lights on the sixth, fifth, fourth, and third floors, and 40 percent of those on the. second floor. (I want to look into this and arrange a briefing for Kirk on just what we are doing and should do with regard to this situation. Apparently he is still not satisfied that the situation is in hand.) b. I reported to the Director that the Department of State has de- cided on, or is at least very interested in, the establishment of a poly- graph program and that Bill Crockett, Dwight Porter, and Marv Gentile would be coming out here next week for a briefing. The Director was very interested in this and said that, based on a conversation which he had with-the President yesterday, he felt certain we would hear a great deal more about this. Apparently the Director explained our polygraph program to the President- -how it works, how essential we consider it, and also how no other Government agency has such a program. The President apparently was appalled by this fact and thought that every Government agency having access to classified information should have such a program. The Director said that we will probably be called upon to present briefings for not only the Department of State but also for the Department of Defense and possibly the White House. To this end, he wanted a first-class briefing prepared with the best briefers we can 25X1A9a 25X1A9a 25X1A Approved For Release 2000/08/27 A -P76-00183R000500030013-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/27 : CIA-& J~0183R000500030013-4 marshal. He wants to preview the briefing himself and, in short, be prepared to put on a first-class show at any time. (Later I met with Bob Bannerman, Howard Osborn, John Tietjen, and Emmett Echols to discuss the Director's request that we develop a first-class briefing on our security screening processes with emphasis on the polygraph. Howard will take the initiative in developing the presentation, and I asked Bob to take a personal interest in the final development of the complete, coordinated presentation.) 3. Mr. Kirkpatrick advised me that it was all right to send someone to speak to the Military Intelligence Reserve Society in New York City, and I referred the letter of 1 October to Matt Baird for direct reply and handling of the details. 25X1 A9a 4. suggested that I invite Major General Dick Meyer, Commanding General of the U. S. Army Strategic Communications Command, over for lunch; I agreed. While trying to reach Major General Meyer, by mistake I reached Lt. General Richard D. Meyer, Director of Logistics for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Both are classmates of mine. General Meyer said that he wanted to come over and have a talk with me sometime soon. He is working on some kind of a paper in the logistics field in which he thinks we would have a real interest. I said that inasmuch as he, General H. K. (Johnny) Johnson, and Lt. General Lawrence J. (Abe) Lincoln, all members of the Class of '33, are running the logistics business for the Department of the Army and the Department of Defense, I certainly would like to see them come up with something which would give the Army a quick reaction capability, which is apparently lacking based on our experience with the Special Forces. He said that this was exactly what he wanted to talk about and that he would get in touch with me as soon as he has something on paper. I said that I would certainly welcome this. (Later in the day Alan Warfield reported that he had lunch with Abe Lincoln, who is the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, and that he had provided Abe with a one-page summary of the logistics ar- rangements which we have with the Army. It may be that through this series of contacts (Alan got to know Abe very wel we may be able to be 25X1A6a of real assistance to the Army in developing something which will be mutually beneficial to both of us.) 5. Emmett Echols was in to discuss the following: a. We reviewed John Clarke's memorandum of 25 September 1964 regarding long-range personnel programming. Emmett has started this job, and I think that he has a fairly good outline of what he proposes to do. Approved For Release 2000/08/27 : C136-00183R000500030013-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/27 : CUEGgff 6-00183R000500030013-4 I suggested that he reply to John's memorandum, attaching a copy of his proposed program and urging John to offer further suggestions. Emmett said, however, that the key to this whole problem lies in Agency Regula- 25X1 A tion-regarding manpower, which he has been trying to get pub- lished for the past eighteen months. Closely related to this whole mat- ter are two Agency Notices which we have been unable to get coordinated. One is an amendment of Headquarters Regulatand the other 25X1A is an amendment of Headquarters Regulation would like to 25X1 A follow up on these right away and see what we can do to publish them promptly or to decide on an alternate course of action.) 25X1A9a b. We have now received six nominations for the Federal Woman's Award. In the light of this number of nominations, I asked Emmett to convene the Honor Awards Board and to come up with specific recom- mendations which we can make to Mr. Kirkpatrick. 6. telephoned regarding the following: 25X1A 25X1A9a b . also reported that a cable has been prepared and is being submitted to Under Secretary of State Ball which would permit the return of dependents He didn't know what prompted this change of heart. 7. Bob Ayers, President of Government Services, Inc . , telephoned to invite me to a meeting at 11:30 a.m. next Wednesday, 28 October, to re- view the securities held by GSI. I accepted provided that this meeting does not conflict with my luncheon with Bill Crockett. 8. Bob Fuchs was in to discuss several personnel cases with me in com- pliance with DD/S Administrative Notice No. 64-6. 25X1A6a a. In the case o we decided that Bob should write a 25X1A9a memorandum for the i e but show d not take any further action at this 25X1A9a time. Similar action should be taken in the case of Neither of these two men should have access to cash, a . eas Watt s time.

In the case of who was returned from - not too long ago, a num er o other matters have developed indi- cating that his handling of his personal finances is delinquent and that he might be immature in other respects. I asked Bob to place his name before the Personnel Evaluation Board. c. about whom there was some question in_ is apparen y oing a very good job now, and I agreed that a memoran- dum in the file would be adequate in his case. d. I authorized Bob to place who has had a great many domestic problems and who had to be brought home from the in the Industrial Contract Audit Division and to give him a chance to rehabilitate himself. He, like the others about whom there is some question, should not have access to cash. I emphasized to Bob that he should watch all these people very carefully. If they cannot have access to cash and if they cannot be sent overseas, then they are millstones around our neck and hamper our flexibility and our opportunity to develop all-around generalists in the Office of Finance. Bob was very much aware of this and, I think, is working in the right direction.
