General Counsel conferred recently with the Executive Director of the Commit-
tee,, Mr. Seidenberg,, and his deputy,, as suggested in the Vice President's

difficulties in ensuring compliance and to get the Committee's suggestion as
to what we might do under our particular circumstances. A summary of their
meeting is attached as Tab B.

BUILDING ROOM NO.
REMARKS:
It is believed that the proposed letter
for DCI signature and the blue slip
are self-explanatory except for the
delay in presenting an answer. A por-
tion of this delay was through mis-
directing the Nixon letter to Personnel
for reply. The letter presumably was
received in Logistics on 12 October 53.
The meeting of ~ of Logistics and
- of OGC with Mr. Seidenberg,
Executive Director of the President's
Committee, occurred on 22 October. I
suspect most of the de can be attri-
buted to vacillatioa i Lo tics as to

how the answer should be written. You
may wish to speak to Jim about this.
The vidt of would
in a sense act as an answer to the letter
and the Counittee is reasonably happy
about t action being taken in CIA and
is pr appreciative of our problem.
Logic cs s working on the regulations
which will be shown to Mr. Seidenberg
informally for his suggestions, if any.
