DIARY NOTES
DD/S. 28 May 1965
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning:
a. I gave the Director a brief report on the history of the CIA
direction signs which we originally put up and' which President Kennedy
told us to take down. The Director`s immediate reaction was to put up
new signs, but an learning that Senator Robext Kennedy also objected to
the signs, he decided not to raise the question again at this time .
b. I explained the on-call duty officer system for the holiday on
Monday, 31 May. This system seemed satisfactory to the Director
and, hence, will not be changed.

2. I discussed with Emmett Echols again the Director's de-sire that
each supervisor make a periodic report on the performance and problems
of each person he supervises. Emmett had not fully understood that the Di-
rector wanted this done by each supervisor and undertook to prepare a new
proposed directive. (Incidentally, the Director raised this at the Executive
Committee Meeting this morning and good-naturedly reminded me that he had
not forgotten that he levied this requirement on DD/S . )
3 . I talked with Mr. Kirkpatrick about his earlier requirement that
attendance at an approved internal or external management course would
be a prerequisite to enrollment in the Midcareer Executive Development
Course. He has now decided that we should not insist upon this. I advised
of this decision in Matt Baircl'~ absence and requested that
we expedite publication of the regulation .
4. John Clarke telephoned about the proposed helioport. I gave him the
background on why we decided to build a helioport and told him that I felt
sure we would have to build one someday and that it would be much cheaper
to build it while the contractor is doing the parking lot. I also told him that
I had talked with Mr. Kirkpatrick about the helioport and that he had approved
of its construction. John said that this was good enough for him and that it
would not be questioned again.
5. The Director called me about a telephone call he had received from
Congressman Chet Holifield of California, whom he described as "a pretty

with Bob Groom and agreed to send him a set of sketches of the house on
Tuesday, 1 June, for his reaction. I told the Director that I thought this
house would be too expensive and that, if he wanted to build a $200, 000
house, the Riggs National Bank would probably expect him to came up with
$I00, 000 or $125, 000 in cash or collateral. While he wishes to continue
the explorations with Groom and Miller about building a house, he also re-
quested that we concentrate on locating houses for sale in the Spring Hill
area which are being built by W . C . and A . N . Miller and arrange to show
them. to Mrs. Raborn. (I asked Alan Warfield`;to have his real estate people
take care of this .)
