1. At the Deputies' meeting, mentioned the obscure nature.
of information from Egypt respecting the resignation of Sirry Pasha.
25X1A9a
25X1X6 2. Requested to send me a copy of the report on the
notebook and later received same.
3. Reviewed memorandum containing a rather diffuse discussion
of intelligence and policy forwarded by DAD/SI to AD/NE, copy given to 25X1 A9a
25X1A9a of PSB. I indicated to - that memoranda of this type
show d be sent to CIA representatives on the Senior Staff and should not
be disseminated outside the Agency until this had been done. Confirmed
25X1A9a this by a memorandum to forwarding the - memorandum with 25X1A9a
25X1A9a attachment. Also phoned and indicated that the Agency took
no responsibility of any kinc or the statements contained in this
memorandum and that I personally was in disagreement with many of them.
Also called this to the attention of Amory, because much of this
discussion involved economic intelligence.
25X1A9a 4. A possibly related matter is the fact that I requested Mr.
to have 0/SI recall an 0/SI report allegedly on Soviet and Chinese
jamming capabilities. The body of this report did not cover in any
adequate way the subject indicated in its title,and the report itself,
at least to me, seemed extremely superficial. There is a serious question
in my mind whether or not some stricter publications control is required
?n 0/SI and I shall talk with Dr. Chadwell about this as soon as he returns.

6. With Messrs..AmoXy and - lunched with
and then received a briefing on the intelligence activities of his
division, which has jurisdiction over all operational penetration of the
USSR and Satellites.
7. Mr. Amory complained to me respecting the reduction of
25X1A6a personnel in which was lowering the quality of the
reporting we were receiving. I informed 1-dm that this reduction had been
made, in part, upon the advice of Gen. Smith, but expressed the view that
we could most appropriately comment upon the quantum and quality of the

reporting we were receiving. I suggested that he prepare a memorandum on
this subject which I would put to the General and to State. This keys in
with a comment made to me recently by Adm. Stevens, who complained at the
dropping of the Moscow Embassyfs quarterly report. It is now an annual
report,
8. Mr. Amory discussed with me briefly certain difficulties
that were being encountered on NIE 59 respecting trade, the issues being
very similar to those discussed in Mr. Kennan's recent cable on this subject.
9. Also discussed briefly with Mr. Amory the
problem. Mir general tentative conclusion on this subject, after reading
the pertinent papers, is to continue cooperation between 00 and O/RR but to
change the emphasis, giving 0/RR substantially complete control over the
process from the point of but retaining 00 team members
to make contacts, etc. At the end o six months this situation can be re-
viewed., to see whether O/RR is measuring up to its plans of accomplishment.
One important factor in this decision is the development with respect to
constituting a service of common concern for the
military and non-military agencies. This, to my mind, removes the most
serious concern as to taking the major portion of this function from CO.,
namely, the question of whether or not the intelligence information will be
disseminated to Agency consumers.
10. Discussed with my suggestions as to the current
revision of NSC 114. As respec s the next meeting, I felt that we should
concentrate our fire on supporting the proposal for a reorganization of
the outline. As a matter of tactic, this should probably be handled
by having the revised outline suggested by Defense, with CIA supporting
the Defense position, There were two points which troubled me about' the
current draft. First, 1 was opposed to the use of the term 11free worlditl
without definition and qualification. As used in this paper, at points,
this'term is affirmatively misleading. Second, I did not feel that the
paper took into account a factor that was of definite significance, in
my view. The United States is going to have to reconcile itself to a
further expansion of the "authoritative" states, although not necessarily
Communist states, It was perfectly obvious that in a number of situations
representative or democratic governments were unable to organize the
country effectively to support Western policies and in some instances
this would lead to right-middle coalitions in support of an authoritative
government. In the case of Yugoslavia, we had even found it within our
capabilities to support a Communist government. As presently written,
however, the paper does not conceive of these possibilities. I felt that
