Wednesday, 5 March 1952
PhESENT., General Smith, Messrs. Dulles, Wisner, Wolf, Becker, Hedden,
25X1
a. Noted that General Ridgway had sent a message to the Joint Chiefs and
while he had not seen it he believed that it contained information along the
lines in General Ridgway's recent letter to the Director. The DCI said this
was correct and that he had furnished copies of his reply to Gen. Ridgway to
Generals Collins and Bolling and that Bolling had agreed to "follow our line."
Mr. Wisner stated he understood that G-2 was preparing a paper as a result of
the above-mentioned message and asked whether it was necessary for us to "G-2
G-2" on this matter. The Director stated that (1) this was not necessary since
we would eventually see a copy of the paper in question; (2) he was not too much
concerned with such action as G-2 might take.
b. Briefly reported on the meeting he attended yesterday of the Foreign
Relations Committee and noted that (1) the Committee did not get to a discussion
on the Kersten Amendment and (2) Congressman Vorys desired to go into this matter
at some length; (3) he would notify State and Defense of Congressman Vorys'
intention; (4) the Committee was meeting again tomorrow and he planned to
attend. The Director stated that we did not want another Kersten Amendment next
year; however, there is some potential value in it and it had created a problem
which we had to face.
c. Stated that the Senior Staff had a "final go round" on the Southeast
Asia paper which was to be presented to the JSC at its meeting today. In
connection with the discussion on SE 22, the Director stated that it was our
responsibility to produce an estimate based on the terms of reference as
presented.
S_ 3_%3- -s "'
a. Noted a State cable to Rangoon concerning repatriation of Chinese
troops in Burma. The Director stated that he did not think there was much
chance of this; however we should fully explore all possibilities, particular..
in view of the French interest mentioned yesterday.
