reported by Diem and company. It was noted that General OtDaniel

such a report. 25X1
b. Noted that one of our employees had requested permis-
sion to marry who is not a
US citizen, having been in this country only since 1953. Gen.

report, and issued weekly. This, Mr. Amory said, was based on
the fact that recently a number of these publications merely
indicated there was nothing to report. The Director agreed but
stated that he wanted to first clear this with the IAC.
b. Noted a State cable from London respecting the
chartered Indian aircraft which crashed while transporting ChiCom
delegates to the Bandung Conference, and said in comparing this
message with previous information on this subject it was the first
time we could pinpoint a time lag by the ChiComs in reporting
that this incident was due to sabotage. The Director, after
being assured CIA was keeping State informed on all aspects of
this case, asked Mr. Roosevelt to bring the above to the attention 25X1
of the appropriate officials in that Department.
Mr. Kirkpatrick:
Noted that of Senator office was an 25X1
applicant for employment with CIA. The rector said we should
insure that she has cleared this with the Senator.
