in this rrxetin and had requested it from General Porter who had not
25X1A5a1 delivered. inquired whether he might look at the paper in CIA. I
stated that we would be unable to permit this, since not only would Pentagon
approval have to be obtained, but also CIA was not officially represented in
the meeting which produced the paper,
6. Q informed me as to his plan to have Admiral Kirk briefed
on electronic warfare matters which would involve a 0 who is a membe25X1A9a
of the President's Committee on Telecommunications. I approved, with the
understanding that II in doing this, would not be representing CIA, 25X1A9a
but would be acting in his capacity as a member of the Presidential Committee.
"R. Talked with Mr. Amory about the possibility that was 25X1A5a1

inquired as to the best manner to brief DCI in
his capacity as Chairman of PSB, on the Telecommunications
Committee paper on electronic warfare. I suggested that
this should be done through who was the DCIts
briefing officer on PSB matters,
obtained on flying saucers, particularly reports of sightings
on the ground by relatively reliable observers, He noted
that one of the primary theoretical difficulties with sightings
thus far reported was the lack of noise and flare. Several
scientists have recently delivered papers indicating a possible
means of propulsion which would not involve noise and flare,
He proposed to have a briefing on this general subject and
to call the information to the attention of Air Force and
RUB. I concurred.
10. Discussed with I and later with Matt Baird, the Director
of Training's program of lectures for incoming trainees. I indicated my
general approval of the course he suggested, and that it be kept flexible.
It should be arranged with ADs that incoming personnel need not take the
course as soon as they come on board, where there was an emergency and
immediate need for their services in the Office; further, all personnel would
not require all portions of the course. I felt that this was a matter for
Training to work out on an individual basis with our offices. 25X1A9a
and Col. Baird indicated that they agreed with this position and would talk
with the ADs, and would have a talk with me after this had been done. During
the course of my discussion with Col. Baird, he discussed toe over-all activities
and mission of training. I indicated that, as far as I was concerned, I felt
that all matters could be resolved between Training and all our Offices. I
felt that they could afford us very helpful services, but that this would have
to be s the activities of the various Offices. When Col. Baird
Od At rais
"AA some question about O/RRts internal Office training, I pointed out the
W necessity that his Office, with its.broad charter, be relatively liberal in
25X1A2g
giving a license to the various ADts to accomplish results within their own
Office, where that was the logical place to do the job. I did not feel that
there was any magic in having a course under the'auspices of training personnel
reporting to the Director of Training. I was primarily interested in results.
I really feel, however, that Col. Baird understood this and will proceed along
these lines.
