DIARY NOTES

2 November 1956
1. Attended the Career Council Meeting at which our legislative program
was approved by the Council. There was a considerable hassle about why the
proposed Regulation on the Language Incentive Program had not been published
and the Council decided to discuss this at its next meeting on 8 November.
25X1A The Regulation on Career Planning, II was also protested by the Deputy
Director (Intelligence) and this is to be discussed on 8 November. I said
that if time permitted I should like to discuss the problem that I had regard-
ing those members of the Administration Career Service who were placed in the
Service for the sake of expediency, i.e., primarily the Director's Office.

2. I talked to Matt Baird about General Cabell's instruction to him
that we should have one hundred people in language training overseas. Matt
said that General Cabell instructed him to staff this out and that we should
aim at having this number overseas without regard to ceiling or budget....
he wants it primarily for the Clandestine Services and stated that people
should not be attached to stations. I instructed Matt to prepare a paper on
this subject. I feel sure, however, that we will have to sort out principles
here since ceiling and budget will have to be taken into consideration eventu-
ally.
3. At Shef Edwards' suggestion I instructed to appoint
I I as a focal point of coordination on matters with the Support
side or a house and the Office of the Deputy Director (Plans) involving the
movement and evacuation of dependents and employees from troubled areas.
i. Talked to Mr. Sells and Dr. Messner and agreed to address the North-
east Citizens League of Fairfax County, Virginia, at the Chesterbrook Elemen-
tary School on Kirby Road at 8:00 p.m. on 14 November, subject: "CIA's Move
to Langley." Also agreed to discuss the same subject at the Fairfax County
Lions Club on 6 December.
5. Went over more of my trip to the Far East with I I and had lunch
with him. He is not at all enthusiastic aboutl _J going into CAT, but
I do not believe that he will stand in the way. He is, of course, concerned
about Ted wanting responsibility for operations. We both agreed that it was
appropriate to conduct a complete security investigation of CAT, including CE,
In this connection Al. has
asked Shef to undertake this and Shef is preparing to comply.
