of Station, did an extremely fine job. I don't know whether
he is in Washington on TDY or PCS, probably the former, but I think it would be
helpful if he could go down to the - to talk with the students and faculty or
prevail on him to talk at some suitable course here at Headquarters. - 25X1A
is particularly impressed with the CTs who have been assigned to his Station.
2. President Johnson wants all agencies to hold back on spending for the
next three to five months. This includes procurement, construction, travel
deferment and filling unfilled personnel vacancies. He is trying to prevent the
flow of government money into the private sector as part of the campaign against

we should review our transparencies.
4. The DDS will establish a Historical Board, composed of three officers. Each
office is to nominate an officer who should be a senior and an "old hand" or reason-
ably "old hand." From these nominees, DDS will select three. Membership on
the Board requires only occasional part-time work if the DDS Board follows the
pattern of the DDP Board. I would be inclined to nominat Also, we 25X1A

to develop this history in terms of principle events and special activities, not
just developments of TO and budget. New programs will be important. The DDS
stressed especially that we should cite external authority and internal Agency
authority for our programs and activities. We are expected to bring our historical
record up-to-date on an annual basis. As the DDP does, we will be able to pick up
retirees on short-term contract to cover our phases of the offices activity which
they have been engaged with. Also we should allow an officer relief from his normal
duties prior to his retirem t so that he c turn out his part of the history.

--5 . The DCI and the Executive Director want a briefing on our "major ac-
complishments" for Fiscal 66 and Fiscal 67 as well as our planning for Fiscals
67 and 68. This briefing will be carried out by the end of October or the beginning
of November. The DDS wants a topic outline from each office within one week
from now. Each topic should be set forth with a one or two sentence description
of what we are talking about or what we wish to emphasize. It is not certain
whether the DDS will give the entire briefing or whether the office head will
brief on his own office.
6. The DDS was pleased to learn that the Support Services Review got off
to such a good start. He would emphasize that we should reserve at least one
evening for a purely social get together as part of the purpose of the course is
to help DDS officers come to know one another. Bannerman may prefer that both
evenings be social evenings and that we not try to work that hard right through.
ade the same point. also said that there was some disap-
pointment among the students because neither Bannerman or Warfield was present.
Bannerman promised that this would be remedied in the future.
