1. Gen. Magruder requested the O/CI internal Daily Digest of
the highest' classification and I undertook to furnish it to him on an
-tEjres OnlyIF basis', temporarily.
2, Gen. Magruder indicated that future action.on the Brownell
Committee report had not been determined upon, since Secretaries Acheson
and Lovett had not had a chance to get together on it. Undersecretary
Bruce had read the report and it had already been referred personally to
Gen. Bradley. Certain minor adjustments would have to be made, but, in
general, reaction had been favorable. one difficult point was the
complicated series of appeals provided for in the recommendations.
3.. At the Deputies' meeting, Mr. Dulles raised a question as
to the log item respecting the JIC paper on resistance movements. It was
agreed that this amounted in substance to an intelligence estimate and
should have been cleared with me, although this had not been done. Mr.
Wisner later explained to me that-the CIA contribution had been given by'
the Operational Offices to JSPD, which requested it for use by the planners.
I was not particularly concerned by the incident, since the moral was clear.
In the meantime, referred the paper to 0/NE, with the request that they
comment thereon.
Li. Mr. Dulles undertook to make available to me a paper on
the Swiss, of which I had not previously heard.

to be a reality and specifically that they should be active in the fields 4.
of (a) electronics, including telecommunications, (b) biological warfare
and chemical warfare, (c) medicine, and (d) guided missiles. On ground

Dr. Chadwell sit on the new committee if they would not have - 25X1A9a
My reason for this was, of course, merely to'attempt to dissipate the
historical antagonism that had arisen and was in no way in derogation
