DIARY NOTES
I5 October 1964
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning the Director said
that Secretary of Defense McNamara had asked him to work out some system
whereby he could receive certain messages faster. In this particular instance
a very important message about the Congo was received yesterday morning,
14 October, around 10 a.m, and the Secretary had not yet received it at
2 p.m. We have an SQP under which the National Security Agency is respon-
sible for seeing that the Secretary of Defense receives such messages. The
Director asked Ray Cline and John Bross to work out an arrangement with.
NSA whereby we could send a message of such urgency direct to the Secretary
of Defense. (I see no responsibility or action required here on the part of
the Office of Communications .)
25X1A9a 4, who is on home le
was i
fo
n
r a visit.
He saw ittle prospect of expanding our perations in the near future.
With
d
regar
to our operations he thought that there would be
relatively minor irritants such as complaints. as to haw many
Americans are there, their diplomatic privileges, etc . , but he saw no rea-
son why we couldn't continue to operate there for the foreseeable future.

There have been no developments regarding the receiver site which is on
_ property, even though we could be asked to move at any time . Jack
believed that, if this. should happen, we could say that we would be glad to 25X1A
move- but it would take some time and that the would grant the
tune. (I will talk with Jack again when he returns to town in about ten days 25X1A9a
about a replacement for as Chief of Support ~iext 25X1A6a
year . )
25X1A
h? talked with me confidentially about an offer which he has 25X1A9a
received from Larry Houston to become Chief of the Legislative Staff. I
told Jack that I thought he would be an ideal person for this job, but I ques-
tioned seriously whether he would receive the same satisfaction from this 25X1A6a
job that he does from being Chief of Station, - This would be a
liaison rather than a legislative job, and Jack could certainly do it very well.
However, his only overseas service has been as Chief of the tation, 25X1A6a
and he probably would not have another chance to get in five years o over-
seas service in order to qualify as a participant under the new early retire-
ment program. He unquestionably was. tempted by the offer, however, and
said that he would like to come back and talk with me personally and con-
fidentially about it some more.
