MEMORANDUM FOR: General Carter
Mr. Kirkpatrick
v-Executive Registry
Sometime ago, Mr. McCune requested a different procedure
for handling mail coming from outside the Agency addressed to him
personally or as Director of Central Intelligence. The immediate
occasion involved a letter from Arthur Krock which was never rough
to Mr. McCone's attention and which was finally answered by
Carter during Mr. McCcnae's absence.
During the recent period of activity. mail for Mr. McCone was
held and assembled until he had a chance to review it. The accumula-
tion was reviewed by him on 1 November and he reaffirmed his desire
that such corresponience be brought to his attention promptly and be-
fore action was taken. Included in this batch of mail was a letter
from former Senator Herbert Le hzndated 10 October inquiring as to
why the Senator no longer receivedl -1 Mr. McC%'?ATSPEC
thought this letter should have been handled by him per sue y and
promptly. I am still not clear as to precisely what did happen to it.
In any event. Mr. McCune wants his letters brought to his attention
daily by the undersigned who suggests that a paper be prepared to accom-
pany these letters recommending action before such action is actually
undertaken. For your inforrnatbn. in several instances on 1 November,
the Director elected not to reply to correspondence for which letters
bad been prepared. Moreover, he revised drastically one letter which
had been staffed out without his having seen it.
In short, I suggest that all mail Is zecesie-ed. I shall be able to
sent to the undersigned as soon as it
The rest will be brought
turn a great deal of it over tol ATINTL
the DCI's attention and then copies can, be farmed out and action laid z~.
