STAT
15 November, advertising the book 50X1-HUM
and in particular a comment that the book points ou 50X1-HUM
was mishandled by U. S. intelligence after his defection. The Director
said he had always been of the opinion that this defector was not quite
as Sirnon pure as he attempted to m~~.ke himself out, and obviously the
corriment about U. S. intelligence contained in the advertisement is for
the purpose of selling the book. Nevertheless the Director stated he
would like a brief report setting fori:h the facts as to how this defector
had been handled. Action: DD/P
a, Noted an article in the IVew York Times of Sunda ,
b. Noted a State Department cable reporting a conversation
between Ambassador Thompson and Khrushchev, and gave it to DD/I
to read and return. (The message to be returned to State)
c, Noted a report by DD/S covering temporary duty travel
by Headquarters personnel -- foreign and domestic -- and stated while
there had been some reduction since the submission of the last report,
he desired that each request be carefully considered in order that
travel can be reduced wherever pos~3ible. Colonel White commented
that a copy of this report had been made available to the DD/P and DD/.I.
e. Noted that Mr. Houston had drafted a letter to Mr. U. E.
Baughman, head of the Secret Service, regarding CIA support to the
Presidential party during the President's forthcoming trip abroad,
and passed it to DD/P, DD/S, and the IG for their comments. The
Director said that, based on final wording of this letter, a cable would
be sent to the Chiefs of Station concerned c?vering Agency responsi-
bilitie s for the protection of the President.

g. Noted a letter from Mr. Gordon Gray, Assistant to the
President, requesting a list, with certain exceptions, of all individuals
cleared far COMINT and after some discussion it was agreed that Mr.
Amory would discuss this matter with Mr. Gray upon his return from
Augusta. Mr, Sheldon commented 1:hat in his opinion, what Mr. Gray
had asked for would be meaningless in view of the large numbers, and
suggested that what is really required would be a list of COMINT-cleared
people outside of those engaged in the actual production of intelligence,
i. e. , consultants, contract personnel, etc.
