4. Dick Helms asked me to handle the arrangements far a luncheon in
honor of Mr. Kirkpatrick' on Thursday, 1 July, in the Executive Dining Room.
I blocked out this date on Kirk's calendar and obtained an approved guest
list, subject to any changes Kirk might want to make. I also agreed to ask
Kirk whether he wished to receive the Distinguished Intelligence Medal at
this luncheon or at another ceremony to which he could invite his family and
friends .
