DIARY NOTES
DD/S 25 February 1965
1. John Tietjen talked with me again about his idea to create an outside
panel of psychiatric consultants to evaluate our program. He now has the
three psychiatrists lined up and has planned the first meeting for 19 and 20
March. I told him that I would be very glad to say a few introductory words
if he wanted me to do so.
2. I talked with out the proposal from some parts
of DD/P to use badge numbers to make appointments at the barber shop. I
think that I convinced Tom that we are much better off from a security point
of view to continue the practice of using any name one wants to use in making
an appointment. I suggested that anyone who really had a cover problem
probably should get his hair cut elsewhere. I think that Tom agreed with this
and will make some announcement along these lines at the next DD/P Staff
Meeting.
25X1 A9a 3. Emmett Echols an were in to brief me on a speech which
Roger Jones, Special Assistant to the Director of the Bureau of the Budget,
made yesterday about the average salary problem. Bob's impression was that
Mr. Jones said very clearly that the Bureau of the Budget would impose these
controls only as long as the agencies fail to have their own adequate internal
controls. In this connection, they pointed out that our mechanism has been
very effective and that the Agency's internal controls have kept our average
grade steady during the past five or six years. By using the statistics in my
"black book, " I can impress this upon Mr. Kirkpatrick, who is going to argue
the case with the Bureau of the Budget, and I undertook to do so.

25X1A9a 4. I talked with-about his retirement plans. He has made
plans to retire at about the time he is eligible. However, his house in
25X1 A9a where he plans to live after he retires, is rented until Marc
1966. I told him that this would pose no problem and that, if he would select
a date any time after November 1965 but not later than 1 July 1966, we could
adjust to his plans. (He will telephone me tomorrow after talking with his
wife and tell me what he would like to do.)

5. I met with John Tietjen, Emmett Echols, and Howard Osborn to dis-
cuss the following cases:
25X1A9a a. We discussed the ase. John felt that this might
25X1A9a come as more of a blow to at this time than it would have
some time ago since he appears to e a bit depressed. Nevertheless,
this does not alter the basic decision that he must be phased out. We
agreed that Howard would talk with him and explain the situation and
that the Office of Medical Services and the Office of Personnel would
lend any assistance possible to provide a cover story, help him get a
job, etc. He seems to have excellent qualifications for a teaching
position and, except for the timing, getting him a job in the academic
world would appear to be a relatively easy proposition.

6. Howard Osborn was in regarding the following items:
a. He briefed me on a situation resulting from the deliberations
of the committee on which has been sitting with James
Clark of the Bureau of the Budget, Marv Gentile of the Department of
State, and others. Recently Mr. Clark asked the Agency to bug a
selected location at the White House in order to double-check the work
of the Secret Service. He also suggeste at we conduct certain sweeps
of the White House. Howard instructed that he is to de-
cline any such requests absolutely and to tell Mr. Clark that we would
honor these requests only if they come from the White House itself. I
also asked Howard to submit a memorandum about this for General
Carter's consideration.

uth Vietnam. I told him that he should caution Pat and Chuck
to hold this information very closely and to ensure that they are not responsible
for spreading it any further. In addition, Bob should be as helpful as possible
but should not commit the Agency to any sort of assistance without policy ap-
proval by at least General Carter. (I also discussed this matter with General
Carter and confirmed that my instructions to Bob were correct. In accordance
with Gener rter's suggestion, I also cautioned Bob to keep in close touch
25X1A9a wit on this matter.)

9. Yesterday Mr. Kirkpatrick asked me why consult-
ant contract had not been terminated. I said that t is was the first I had heard
of it. Kirk was under the impression that he had told either me or Emmett
Echols. Emmett checked his records and found that he had received a tele-
phone call from Kirk to the effect that the Office of the Director would termi-
nate contract effective 1 January 1965. - who
handles these matters, telephoned to find out who was going
to tell bout this. Dave said that he would discuss it with

would talk with General Carter and wou arrange or General Carter to tell
