demonstration of the Patch Test is shooting

3. John Clarke called to say that he had been over to the Bureau of the
Budget, and in discussing Agency medium and heavy sedans, agreed to provide
BOB with our study on the cost of converting medium sedans to limousines. He
also agreed to ask our Security people to check out the adequacy of BOB safe-
keeping arrangements for our classified material. Both of these have been taken
care of.
5. Mr. Helms, who was in the Chair at the Morning Meeting, said that
he felt that all Agency officers should undertake to comment favorably on the
Agency's morale, effectiveness, etc., and should do this whenever the occasion
arises, particularly in speeches, training courses, conversations, etc. He went
on to say that the Director is not at all sure that the Agency's morale is high and'
hopes that this doubt can be dispelled by the above measures. Col. White pointed
out the very low attrition rate of the Agency and I was directed to give statistics
on this in an unclassified manner so that this information could be passed to
newspapermen who are now visiting the Agency from time to time. I did this and
a copy of the statistics is attached. See also the attached report on certain
accommodations for the Director.
