1. made Colonel Miller happy by informing him that he
was the person who acted for the Director in coordinating the DCI's
wishes and directives throughout the Agency. Up to that point Colonel
Miller was convinced that the Director's extra responsibilities were
such that he never had a chance to exercise his prerogatives in the 25X1A9a
various offices. pointed out that the Director held three
meetings a week whereat he dictated his wishes and suggested policies,
and then maintained a suspense file en the various items
raised to see to that they were accomplished. As Colonel Miller
put it, "By God, I've been looking for a man like you since I started
in on this tourl"
2. In the SA/PC/DCI's Office Colonel Miller asked if 'S)(~
initiated his own planning and coordination projects, or if he engaged
in same only upon direction. Miller raised his old contention that OSI
needed a great deal of looking into. This was brought about by mention
of the fact that had been transferred. In his estimation, 25X1A9a
old division was the only one in 03I doing a sound job,
and that all of the other efforts of this office were disjointed,
lacked control, and came up merely with "estimate" rather than "intel-
ligence".
3. In the Inspector General's Office, Colonel Miller asked Mr.
Kirkpatrick point-blank if any of the major jobs in the Agency had
changed hands following the Republican Party's coming to power; in his
search for indications of political appointees and/or pressure, he was
assured that no such action had ever nor would ever take place.
Zt. In the Cable Secretariat, Colonel Miller was primarily inter-
ested in why this Office had been placed directly under and
sat-
not under Communications or at least the DD(P).
isfied with the reasons he received, and found no fault with the system
as it exists. His other concern was speed of message transmittal and
whether or not cables were ever lost; again, he was satisfied with the
explanation of cable control given his, and the degree of care exerted
by this Office in pursuit of its functions. So ends Colonel Miller's
formal tour of the Agency, following which he will draw his conclusions
into logical thought, on paper.
