Executive Director-Comptroller lmr~~ 9 August 1965
1. I talked with General Grothaus about his letter of 16 July and
his desire to update Admiral Raborn on the new developments in the
BW/CW field. He was aware of the briefing by the group from Fort
Detrick last week, but he still felt that they have something interesting
to tell Admiral Raborn and requested that I designate someone to work
with his representative in setting up a short briefing for the Director.
He will then leave it to our judgment as to whether we actually want to
go ahead with it. I have designated
and Development.

2. I talked with about his new 25X1
responsibility as focal point for liaison with the Joint War Games Agency.
I emphasized hat in this job he represented the entire Agency and
that he should insure that we always have a first-class team to partici-
pate in these games. I asked that he brief me approximately two weeks
before each game so that I will know the extent of our participation and
can take steps, if necessary, to insure that our participation is adequate.
He said that they were writing a memorandum to Tom Karamessines in
opposition to CIA's sponsoring any of the games. I suggested that, while
I too was not eager to sponsor a game, I thought we might reserve
judgment until we have participated in two or three of the games.
3. John Warner telephoned to solicit my views about throwing a
few nonintelligence tidbits to the various Congressional committees as
the Director briefs them. I said that I was very much in favor of this
as a matter of principle and suggested that he talk with John Clarke about
the types of things which might be mentioned and which we could help him
prepare. I added that the NPIC problem was very fresh in my mind and
that I thought I could do a piece on this with a minimum of difficulty if
they wanted to use it at the Rivers Committee meeting next Thursday,
12 August.
4. Matt Baird was in to talk with me about the Midcareer Course
and the Training Selection Board. I told him that I had no intention of
making any changes in these two activities and that, as far as I knew,
neither the Director nor Deputy Director had any contrary views.
5. I participated with I land Howard Osborn in a briefing 25X1
for Dick Helms on the USIB Security Committee's and COMOR's positions

on simplifying the T-KH and While I think Dick's
heart is with the Department of State in wanting to downgrade most of
this material to Secret, he agreed to support Howard and Jim in their
recommendation that we go forward with a rather large effort to down-
grade T-KH material and that the be changed to pro-
vide for three in lieu of fifteen clearances. He indicated, however,
that he would probably want to take a new look at this in about six months.
a. Ireported that he talked to Dick Helms about exempting
I I who is a member of the Arlington County School Board,
from rigid reporting in compliance withF _J Dick wanted
this done orally. I told = that I concurred but that he should
caution not to forget to report anything significant which
develops from his contacts.
b. IIcomplained about unqualified people charging in to use
his Xerox machine. I told him to put whatever restraints he wanted
on it, including a switch which would make it nonoperative except
when one of his trained operators was operating it..
c. We talked again about Dr. Guthe's request to publicize
some of our geographers. =said that Dick Helms wanted to see
the request before any final action was taken. I told that this
was entirely consistent with my conversation with Dick and him on
this subject some weeks ago.
8. I I reported that the Bureau of the Budget telephoned
to say that General Motors had been in touch with them in a formal way
inquiring about the Director's entitlement to a limousine. The staff
discussed this with who said that he would not honor Mr.

Amory's previous commitment that the Director could have a limousine.
I Isaid that, if he has to have a sliding glass panel between
the front an rear seats, he should put one in a medium sedan. I reported
this to the Director and asked Bob Bannerman to get some prices on
what it would cost to custom-build such a panel. We can then decide
what action to recommend to the Director.
9. I talked to Dick Helms about the appointment of
as Deputy Director of the Office of Medical Services. He approved.
10. Matt Baird was in to discuss with me again the question of
whether there might be a full-time role for him as Chairman of the
Training Selection Board and developing an Executive Development Pro-
gram after he relinquishes his duties as Director of Training in January
1966. I said that I didn't think we should pursue this thought further and
that he should plan to turn over the chairmanship of the Training Selection
Board to the new Director of Training, John Richardson.
