MEMORANDUM FOR: Dr. Sherman Kent
Your memorandum on foreign travel
was sent to me by the Director requesting my comments.
I have discussed it with Dick Helms and have only one sug-
gestion for you to consider.
It seems to me that it would be wise
for the Chairman. and. Vice Chairman of the Board to vary
the areas to which they travel from time to time. Maybe
you do this; I don't k:tow. I am under the impression that
Abbot concentrates on South Africa and you the Far East.
I may be entirely wrong about this, and this is merely a
suggestion in principle. There is no objection to your plan
as presented in the memorandum.
