Colonel Hansen briefly discussed the Director's proposed meeting with
Senator Vinson tomorrow morning in regard to our building program.
I I stated that a recent graduate of Leavenworth had asked
m now our coordinating function was progressing. He stated that at
Leavenworth they were taught that CIA had in the past failed as a
coordinator and that he hoped that things were better since Gen. Smith
took over. This brought up a question as to what was being taug'it at
service schools in regard to CIA. Hansen will look into this matter
and try to set them straight. II suggested it might be possible 25X1
to send D/DCI's note on CIA to various service schools.
Hansen reported that S4.,li1; an AP man, is still trying to get information+_
from us in r and to some operation around which he can write a story.

that we must stick to the party line of accentuating coordination and
estimating and playing down covert operations of CIA. Hansen agreed and
will put off Sea??-.
