signature of the Q/RR revised T/O, which had been agreed to by all concerned.
6. The Director at the Deputies' meeting mentioned his reply to
25X1A6a a recent cable from
7. Attended meeting with representatives of G-2 (Col. Whipple
and Col. Saunders) and CIA officers (Amory, Chadwell, Andrews 25X1A9a
and Reber) respecting CIA contacts with the various Technical Services.
Thereafter, it will be satisfactory if direct contact is made with people
in the Services, so long as advance notice (which may be short and may be
by phone) is given to someone to be designated by Whipple and Saunders.
Dr. Andrews (Liaison Division) is also to be kept advised of such contacts
so that his Division will have a consolidated listing. The representatives
of G-2 displayed a complete willingness to cooperate, so long as CIA com-
plied with certain minimum formalities. It was agreed that this arrange-
ment would not be reduced to writing.
8. Discussed with Messrs. the question
25X1A9a of OB reporting which was raised by a recent article on the different
composition of Russian and Chinese air divisions and regiments. This
problem had been avoided on ground OB by reporting in terms of manpower,
rather than organizational units. This had not been done in the case of
Air, as a result of which our reports could be misleading to consumers.
Hendrickson is going to study this problem and then submit appropriately-
revised recent 0/CI reports to indicate what might be done.
