Mr. Wisner as to whether he desired a viorking-level assistant
to attend in order to sit in on meetings of the Security Sub-
committee; this would not be appropriate for the CIA Senior
Representative. I also explained to Adm. Stout the reasons
why CIA insisted on taking no formal intelligence positions
at such meetings, which were intended to stimulate collection
rather than to advise the collectors. Adm. Stout confirmed
my suspicion that these meetings, which had been conceived of
Adm. Stout suggested
that after we had made our decisions, we give him a memorandum
as to our understanding of the procedure at future conferences.
I indicated that as far as I was concerned, it would be
preferable to have the CIA Representative deal through the
Senior U. S. Representative. Later briefed Mr. Wisner on all
of this and requested him, in due time, to have a memorandum
of understanding prepared for transmittal to Adm. Stout and
Mr. Wisner undertook to do this.
