Sheldon and
Mr. Dulles:
at Noted that is coming in to see
him on 4 November respecting his rejoining the Agency, and
stated he was inclined to offer him the Senior Representative
Post inQ however, if there were any other ideas he
would like to hav them rior to the above date. The Director
made it clear if does return he would have to do
so with the agreement that he would remain for at least two years*
he Stated he was concerned over the fact that in some
instances sensitive and/or delicate operations are carried out
at lower levels without being brought to the attention of the
appropriate Deputy, DDCI and the DCI. Mr. Dulles said a case
in oint is the contact set up by thel 25X1
and his letter to the rector of
September which did not come to the DCI's attention until 20
October. The Director noted the information obtained from 0 25X1
had been passed to the FE Division and apparently some action
has been taken; however, this particular contact should have
been made known to not only himself but DD/P and DD/I. After
some discussion as to how to answer O letter, it was agreed
+h-1 this should he necomallshed in a conversation between the
I I This conversa-
which will indicate tha proposal had been dis-
cussed with the Director, it was receiving consideration, and
he would be advised later of our decision. In order to avoid
future instances of this nature, Hr. Dulles directed that DD/I,
DD/P and DD/A, as appropriate, maintain a roster of sensitive
contacts and in their discretion bring these contacts to the
attention of the DCI and the DDCI.
General Cabell:
Raised the question of an award for
and stated since it was impossible to give him the Legion of
Merit, it was recommended that he be awarded the Distinguished
CIA Medal. General Cabell pointed out this had been checked
with our Awards and Decorations Board which had agreed that
the latter award could appropriately be given t

After some discussion the Director stated he would like to give
this matter further consideration since he was not sure it was
wise to establish the practice of awarding CIA medals to officers
of other Services.
Mr. Amory:
Noted a briefing for Governor Stassen would be held on Mon-
day, 15 November, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., and that Governor
Stassen would also lunch with us on that day, The Director
indicated he would attend the luncheon and a part of the briefing.
Col. White:
Reported it was necessary, in view of the Government-wide
change in overtime pay, to change our regulations accordingly,
and recommended that GS-1O's and below actually be paid for
overtime, and 11's and above be allowed to elect either to
receive overtime pay or compensatory time off. Colonel White
also pointed out that this change in our regulations had been
concurred in by all concerned. Mr. Helms said he had not seen
it and since DD/P experienced a good deal of difficulty in
allowing its senior officers compensatory time, asked to see
the regulation before it is published. The Director approved,.
