a) Referred to the '`46 questions" banded to him by Congressman sheppard
of the House Committee on Appropriations at the CIA Budget Hearing 28 June and
noted that copies of these questions together with appropriate instructions as to
preparing answers bad been circulated by the Acting DD/S to 1)13/1, DD/P and DD/C.
The Director said while we had been given about ten days by the staff of the
Committee to prepare replies he intended to discuss this point with Congressman
Tabor and at Mr. suggestion, possibly Congressman Mahon. The Director
commented that a number of the qnestions deal with some of our moat sensitive
activities and therefore he believed our response would necessarily have to be in
two parts. He stated, however, that he first wished to see full answers to all
of the questions after which he would decide what questions should be answered in
writing and those for security reasons replied to orally. He also noted that
responses from the deputies concerned should be furnished xicting DD/S and not
the Comptroller as stated in the mi.) memorandum of 29 Jane. The Director
also commented that DIVP should respond to questions I and 2 rather than DDIS
and that DD/P and DIV/ should jointly answer question 3 rather than DD/S.
General Cabell suggested that in reply to the question re justification of funds
spent, we should take the offensive and list accomplishments. The Director agreed.
Mr. Amory suggested that it might be wise for Norman Paul to advise
Maj. Gen. Wilton B. Persons, Deputy Assistant to the President, that we had been
asked a number of pestions by the House Committee on Appropriations regarding
CIA activities which we intended to answer. DCI approved.
b) Noted the secretary of State had inquired whether he knew of an
expert on Antarctica who might be available for a full time job. The Director
commented that the Department is not looking for a technician. Note: No one
present knew of any such individual but at the Director's request undertook to
furnish the name of anyone who might come to mind.
c) Referred to a letter sent to J in 1956 by the Director
of Personnel regarding the renewal of his consultant's contract and commented
that he was not satisfied with the wording of such letters and in particular those
sent to outstanding people. The Director asked if it was necessary to send such
letters each year and as a matter of fact he did not believe this to be good security
practice. ACTION: Actin 1:41)1S undertook to review this matter and re...t to
the Director.

General Cabell:
Commented that Brig. Gen. Woodbury M. Burgess, who is soon to
retire, had indicated a deoire to Join CIA in some capacity. General Cabell
commented that Gen. Burgess has a rich background in Air Intelligence.
General noted that he knew favorably of his work.
Mr. Amory:
Raised the question of CIA policy on whether or not to support the
continued microfilming of captured German documents now in the United Stat
The Director commented that he did not wish to spend any money since he
believed CIA had received all of the worthwhile intelligence information
contained in these documents. However, he would, of coarse, have a sympathetic
view if some other agency wished to foot the bill for filming the remainder on
hand.
