Approval of Minutes
(IAC-M-155, 1 June 1954)
1. Action: Approved as revised by page 3 circulated
9 June.
2. Discussion: In connection with the minute (para. 6) on
the Watch Committee Report, Mr. Dulles noted that the NSC
members had now received copies of the Report but had not yet
discussed it in the Council. A paper on which to base such
discussion is being prepared and will be circulated to the IAC
before NSC consideration.
3. General Willems noted that because the ad hoc committee
had not considered budget problems in connection with setting up
the Indications Center, there might be delay in implementing the
Center. Mr. Dulles asked that an estimate of non-departmental
costs be promptly made and undertook to consider whether CIA
might meet such costs as being in the nature of funds for a
"service of common concern."
