DIARY NOTES
25X1 A DD/S
1. At the Executive Committee Meeting this morning:
25X1A5a1
25X1A5a1
7 June 1965
a. Sherman Kent again questioned whether we could pay m 25X1 A5a 1
more than $50 a day for the two months the Office of National
Estimates plans to use him this summer. I commented that Larry
Houston had forwarded a memorandum to Dick Helms which, if ap-
proved, would authorize us to seek an amendment to our legislation
which would free us from this $50 limitation. I also said that this
action obviously could not be taken in time to cover this 25X1A5a1
summer and that I saw no reason why he could not be put in a WAE
status. (After the meeting I telephoned Emmett Echols and asked
him to get together with Sherm today to work out a satisfactory ar-
rangement for summer duties.)
b. Mr. Kirkpatrick questioned Larry Houston's memorandum on
suggested changes in legislation because he thought our Congressional
committees would object to any implication that we plan to adopt Foreign
Service regulations. A brief discussion ensued which resulted in Dick
Helms' requesting that Kirk and Larry get together and sort out this
problem.

d. Mr. Kirkpatrick called attention to Office of Training Bulletin
No. 13-65, which announces that the PERT film will be shown in the
auditorium on 9 and 11 June.
25X1A6a
e. Dick Helms announced that iii 25X1A9a
died yesterday. He said Pat he understood had had an 25X1A9a
operation about six months ago. He queried whether he had had the best
possible medical care and specifically wondered where the operation had
been performed. (I asked Dr. Tietjento look into this and to make a
factual report to Dick and me.)

f. announced that Congressman Wilbur Mills, Chair-
man of the House Ways and Means Committee, has introduced an amend-
ment to exempt from taxation the disability payments received under the
CIA Retirement Act.

25X1 A9a 3. who is going to to become the Logistics
Officer, was in to say good-by. He was very ent usiastic about this assign-
ment and anticipated that he would probably retire after this tour.
25X1A9a
4. was up to discuss with me the progress which has been
made on the nepotism study. Briefly, 749 employees have 774 relatives on
the payroll. Such employees in grades GS-15 through GS-18 were identified
by name. We agreed to divide the 749 employees into categories from which
we could draw some general conclusions which I might discuss with Dick
Helms before proceeding with a more detailed study if this should be neces-
sary. I was concerned about only two cases in the grades GS-15 through
GS-18 listing. Both were husband-and-wife teams in the Offices of National
Estimates and Current Intelligence.
5. Joe Becker telephoned to commend - for his recent work 25X1 A9a
as a member of the Automatic Data Processing Committee. He said that,
particularly during the last few days, Bob did some outstanding drafting
which had "cut through the fog" and that his work had indeed been most
helpful and commendable.
6. Bob Bannerman and I lunched with 25X1A9a

b. I was impressed with Mike's statements about his difficulty in
getting personnel for RID.
(I asked Emmett Echols to have someone take a o d, hard look at this prob-
lem in addition to re-evaluating position.) 25X1A9a
25X1A9a 7. I reminded that we have not yet received Mr. McCone's
farewell letter to al employees. Walt told me that he had drafted the letter
and plans to check it out with Mr. McCone this afternoon.

cheerfully. I was candid in telling him that problems of the kind he apparently
has do indeed concern me and that I feel uncomfortable having someone over-
seas in such an important and key position as his with this kind of problem.
However, I said that it was too early to judge the problem without further
25X1A9a medical advice. will see tomorrow morning. I told 25X1A9a
Earl that I was not disposed at this time to alter his plans for home leave,
although I made it clear that this situation could change.
