25X1 A9a 1. Discussed Professional Selection Panel matters at some length
with Special Assistant to DD/A. I feel rather strongly
that the Panel's consideration of suitability for career must be careful
to avoid the Old Army concept that all individuals must be fully qualified
~ IJA for all types of duty. We must recognize that a research analyst will
or.C q,y,A probably confine his career to the research field and would probably never
be called upon to brandish a sabre and lead a charge. Thus in our delibera-
~which a tions, we must always be realistic in assessing the type of career in
the individual will specialize. - was not entirely in accord 25X1 A9'
25X1A9a with this. I know that is inclined toward the opposite view,
namely, Old Army concept.

2. Lunched with and discussed with him the operational
cables that are crossing his desk. I offered to be his point of contact.
in the DD/I complex so that he and I could bring in substantive competence
on these matters where desirable.

25X1 A9a 3. FE, called regarding
WAW channels to be transmitted to Allison in State. Joe tells me that FE will
prepare a memorandum and pass it to Allison, thus taking care of the action.
He will pass to me a copy of this memorandum and requests that I send it
to 0/CI for their information (even though they may not use the material
for dissemination) and to request their reactions to the facts presented.
25X1A9a I. informs me that an indices check on 25X
who is being appointed to a post in Treasury, has indicated no adverse

5. The DD/A has ruled that Saturdays 27 December, will be a normal
Saturday. However., DD/I has ruled that for his Offices, a Sunday schedule
may suffice. I have checked with each of the ADs. 0/CD will maintain
a skeleton force. O/ U! will publish and maintain a force. 00 will main-
tain a skeleton force. 0/IC, 0/RR, 0/NE and O/SI will inform the Watch
Officer which of the key people can be reached by telephone on a stand-
by basis and will pass this information to this Office.

shadowed by his pleasure.

is primarily a DD I problem, I take over. I called - I found him 25X1A9a
