6. Received from Col. Porter of Air Force a memorandum
relating to an incident in which State apparently had sent a cable to
its Swiss Embassy on the basis of an SO report - to which the Air Force
had given a relatively low evaluation -- without including the Air Force
evaluation. Porter expressed the view that such disseminations should
be checked with the agency of primary interest before dissemination.
After some consideration, I am of the tentative view that this may well
be a good ideal for finished intelligence, but is wholly impracticable
in the dissemination of intelligence information, particularly to
intelligence agencies. I have requested to investigate 25X1A9a
the facts of this particular incident and to give me a written report
thereon. After reviewing this, I shall probably prepare a memorandum
for the record or for the Director's log expressing my views, and give
a copy to Air Force.

1. The Embassy in the Philippines had suggested that CIA repre-
sent the Chinese Nationalists in dealing with the Philippine
Government and also that
own both suggestions for obvious reasons.

I understood that had made this clear to Layton and
obtained his agreement thereon. Furthermore, it was clearly
understood by us that the CIA representative would be covert
vis-a-vis third parties, since it was made a condition that
he appear in military uniform. Consequently, Layton's
request for official CIA positions at this conference was
entirely out of order. In the future, our 25X1A6a
25X1A6a could attend such meetings, since that had been
the original plan all along. In the meantime, I-would
speak to Adm. Stout respecting the attitude of Layton and
request that he send Layton over to have a talk with us
when he came to Washington.
