General Smith discussed the length of the 0/PC reply to his memorandum concerning
and stated that (1) a short paragraph or two reporting the
facts and remedial action taken was all that was required; (2) a reprimand in
this case was not necessary. Mr. Wisner stated that he felt that this instance
was a good indication of the fact that "we had too many balls in the air" and
that he hoped a paper now being worked on by Admiral Stevens' Group and NSC 1114,
when finally adopted, would give us sufficient broad-over-all progra wing
guidance and priorities, particularly in the field of psychological warfare.
The Director concurred with Mr. Wisner and stated that NSC 114 would be welcome
as a basic advisory paper; however, it must contain priorities in order to be of
any real benefit to us. In connection with this paper, Mr. Wisner noted that we
should study it very carefully since in its present form he did not believe it
would fill our bill and stated that if at all possible NSC 1114 should be coordinated
with the above-mentioned paper now being worked on by the Stevens' Group. The
Director approved and asked Mr. Becker to pass this along to the DISC Senior Staff.
Mr. Becker noted that (1) he had already passed along to the Senior Staff the
DCI's desire that NSC 114 take a positive stand; (2) he had discussed with ll >/P
th.e preparation of several paragraphs to be included in this paper.
Mr. Wisner noted that there had been a large turnout in the Italian elections
and we would have the final results by tomorrow.
