WASHINGTON 25. D. C.
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
7 November 1966
MEMORANDUM FOR: The Honorable Cyrus R. Vance
Deputy Secretary of Defense
1. From time to time I feel obliged to take an informal
sounding among the subscribers to the President's Daily Brief.
I am concerned that it be read only by those whom the President
has personally approved.
Z. As you know, the PDB is subject to the stiffest con-
trols we can devise -- not only because it is a privileged document
for the President, but because only under such controls can we
include in it material of the highest sensitivity. For both these
reasons its subscription list is severely limited. State, for
example, receives only one copy, Secretary Rusk's.
3. We are more generous with DOD. Five copies are
delivered to the Pentagon of which one goes to the Secretary, one
to yourself, one to John McNaughton, one to General Wheeler,
and one to General Carroll.
4. Would you please be good enough to look into the
procedures for the PDB's handling in the DOD to insure that
access is confined to the actual addressees. Thank you.
Richard Helms
