MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
Morning Meeting of 11 January 1966
of DDS&T/ORD gave a background briefing on over-the-
horizon radar and the Agency project to monitor ChiCom missile de-
velopment.
DD/I reported that the Agency will do the usual roundup of world-
wide reaction to the President's State of the Union Message, which
will be made tomorrow night.
DD/I noted press reports alleging capture of some twelve "ChiCom
advisers" in South Vietnam. There is no confirmation of this, but if
true, it may serve to focus public opinion on the level of ChiCom
presence in Vietnam.
R. J. Smith briefed on the Dominican Republic situation. He
noted current activities of two U. S. destroyers in the Black Sea. He
tabled two memos and recommended a special dissemination of them
with a covering note over the DCI's signature. One deals with NVN
infiltration of South Vietnam and the other with potential successors
to Shastri.
Kent, noting Shastri's death and Shastri's identification with a
nuclear program in India, said that an NIE on nuclear proliferation
is being removed from the USIB agenda this week to give time for
study of the implications of Shastri's death. As a replacement, an
NIE on the ChiCom economy will be placed on the agenda.
Kent gave to DCI a memo in response to DCI's request yesterday
dealing with the question of use of IAPF units to remove certain
military officers from the DR. The memo in essence sees this as a
bad thing.
DD/S noted the first meeting of a working group yesterday result-
ing from a Presidential directive to study the use of the polygraph in

the Government. For educational purposes the working group has
been invited to the Agency on Z4 January to be shown the manner
in which we employ the polygraph.
DD/S reported that a security team from the Agency has com-
pleted its study of the recent OXCART accident and finds that there
are no security factors in the accident.

of anti-CIA press criticism and intends to make a statement of support.
I Jreported that a joint committee bill was put forward by a
representative yesterday.
It was noted that the DCI will brief the Senate Subcommittee today.
Bross noted that the Knox Panel, established under the joint
auspices of the PFIAB and PSAC to deal with information-handling
problems, will be in the building on 13 and 14 January for briefings.
DCI said he would be glad to meet with the Panel.
DD/S&T gave to DCI a memo on the status of OXCART, including
operational capabilities, plans for deployment, and implications of
the accident.
DD/S&T reported on the useful visit that the DCI and he had made
to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright Patterson Air Force
Base in Dayton.
DD/S&T reported on his visit to Sandia AFB last week in company
with two AEC Commissioners. He noted that it makes good sense to
build closer ties between the Agency and Sandia components which can
give us a hand with R&D and some analytical work.
DD/S&T noted that the two AEC Commissioners stated a desire to
coordinate CIA and AEC presentations to the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy. It was agreed that this concept would be checked b
us with the Joint Committee staff.
