of Korea
thereon.
Prior to the morning meeting, received DCI approval of the briefing map
and the representation in generalized terms of the coups 7 dispositions
2. After the meeting, went over the Council item on the legal proceedings
against the international oil Cartel. General Smith indicated that a CIA esti-
mate, as opposed to a co-ordinated estimate, would probably be most desirable.
He undertook to have the Council note the necessary corrections to the erroneous
figures. 25X1A9a 25X1A9a
3. Conferred with about the program
for producing maps for briefing President Eisenhower, both at New York and later
at the White House. Co-ordination with 0/CI seems to be satisfactory and the
general standards for the maps seem to be well understood.
4. With DCI, attended Joint Chiefs of
Staff Meeting. Present for the JCS were:
General of the Army Bradley Major General Eddleman
General Hull Vice Admiral Fife
Admiral Duncan Rear Admiral Wooldridge,
Lt. General White, USAF * Rear Admiral an
Lt. General Cabell Colonel acting as Secretary
at General Smith's direction, I outlined the new Summary Evaluation paper in sub-
stance as indicated in the attached memorandum, mutatis considering I rather than
DCI was doing the talking. The reception seemed very favorable and the questions
from General Bradley, General Hull and Admiral Duncan all related to minor de-
tails and all were satisfactorily answered. Seven copies were delivered to appro-
priate services and secretaries and at General Bradley's direction the paper will
be considered and commented upon promptly. I was struck by the fact that General
Bradley seemed totally unaware of our present gross estimates because he initial-
ly stated the proposed action should await determination by the Intelligence com-
munity of the total Russian resources for attack, including stockpile of bombs,
etc. I assured him that this step was already complete for the years in question,
and shortly will be completed thru 157 and that, therefore, we had reached the
stage where we must start to pull the two things together. He appeared satisfied.
Thereafter, there took place a lengthy discussion of a mechanism for co-
ordinating behind-the-lines activities in the event of hostilities. DCI outlined
clearly his concept of the subordination and responsibility of CIA units under his
Senior Representative to the Theater Commander. It was agreed that more general
information should be exchanged between the Army people and the DD/P as to present
plans. DCI expressed grave doubts as to the feasibility of some of General Mc4lurets
expansive plans. 25X1 A9a
