MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR
As a result of spending two hours this afternoon with Jim Clark,
Chief of the International Division of the Bureau of the Budget, I
can report the following: The International Division staff unquestion-
ably feels that it has done pretty well for the Agency in getting
Schultze to go along with the figure he spoke to you about. They are
not optimistic that he can be persuaded to go higher than this. How-
ever, as a result of our discussions this afternoon, I myself have a
feeling that the staff might recommend a little higher figure, perhaps
or so. I would be very pessimistic about any more than
this. They did agree to ensure that the cost of the pro-
gram we have been discussing is identified separately as something
we are doing as a "service of common concern" and which is not of
rimar interest to this Agency. I plugged hard for putting
i
n the Fiscal Year 1966 supplemental. They
were not stile but at the same time were noncommittal. They did
agree to discuss it with Schultze when they saw him later this after-
noon and agreed to advise us either tonight or tomorrow morning
whether there is any change in the figure.
As soon as we know this, we can start firming up your notes for
your meeting with Schultze. They were pointed in their remarks
about the great pressures he is under and the severe limitations on
his time and urged that you talk to the specific differences between
our two marks rather than to the over-all budget. Also, they were
reasonably certain that your meeting with Schultze would not take
place before next Wednesday, 8 December, at the earliest, and
conceivably it might not be before the early part of the following
week.
