DIARY NOTES
DD/S30 September 1964
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning:
a. The Director expressed his concern about in-bound, rush-hour
traffic on the George Washington Parkway. He thought that sometime we
might have to deliver something to the White House or the Department of
State in a hurry and that we would be completely bottled up in a traffic
jam. He asked me to take a look at this situation to determine what plans
are in being for the future and what, if any, special arrangements could
be made to get us to town quickly if necessary.
b. General Carter announced that Mr. Olsher had called to set up
a meeting with Congressman Patman at 1600 hours tomorrow.
c. The Director has been appointed a member of the committee to
study the recommendations of the Warren Commission. It was decided
that each member of the committee could have one staff man who would
attend all meetings and spend full time working on the project. The Di-
rector asked Dick Helms and Larry Houston to suggest some man who
could spend full time on this project until about the first of the year.
The Director emphasized that his committee membership was a personal
assignment and has nothing to do with his official position as the Direc-
25X1A9A tor of Central Intelligence.

that it would be operationally vantageous to build our radio relay station
Assuming that this is true, which I do, it
certainly would be administratively advantageous, and I asked him to redraft
his memorandum to make a strong pitch in this direction.

in the (I asked to look
into this.)
4. Alan Warfield and are convinced that the Transporta-
tion Division should be made a staff function. I told Alan to discuss this with

that we must not oversimplify the requirement for expertise in the transpor-
tation area. This is a fairly complicated field in which colleges and univer-
sities are now offering majors, and the Army has established an entire Trans-
portation Corps. (I don't care how they organize this function, but I want to
make sure that they don't kid themselves into thinking that they don't need
real expertise in this field.)
a. Emmett reported that General Carter approved our retirement
regulations; however, he does not want Emmett to go to the Bureau of the
Budget or anyone else until Mr. McCone has been briefed- -if he wants
to be briefed. General Carter laid this requirement on Emmett. Emmett
was concerned about the activation of a Retirement Board to implement
these regulations. We must give some prompt consideration to this.
Emmett suggested the possibility ofl
as staff members of the Board. A good chairman and the membership
itself will be very important.
b. Emmett talked to me about taking a trip to the Far East and taking
his wife with him, at his expense of course. I said that I had no objection
to this in principle but that I did not see how he could possibly plan on a
trip until sometime after the first of the year at the earliest.
c. Emmett invited me to the Blood Donor ceremony on 13 October at
which Mr. Kirkpatrick will preside. I said that I would try to attend.
6. Emmett Echols talked to me about the case of (I want
to pull out my file on this and re-examine the situation. As I recall, I com-
mitted myself to keep in the payroll until he was age 60, not 62, and
I think that I should facet is situation and ensure that his service is discon-
tinued as soon as he reaches age 60.)
7. Larry Houston and I discussed some of the problems in the Far East
concerning competition and alleged competition with Air America. He left
with me a proposed cable to substitute for the one whic ave
me yesterday. At the moment I am waiting for still another version from
George.
