25X1A9a
Discussed with Messrs. Wisner and the questions raised by
with respect to Ills non-dissemination policies. Both Wisner
25X1 Aga
icated that they were prepared to authorize a solution of this
prob em y segregating the material into two categories, processed and
to insure that all reports were transmitted to the Intelligence
processed
,
25X1A9a
Offices. - particularly took the position that this policy was based
upon a lack of resources for processing.
2. At the morning meeting, referred to the Secretary of State's desire 25X1X6
that we obtain material being sold b
Following the meeting, I agreed with Messrs. Wisner ands that 00 would 25X1A9a
be responsible for the operation but would appreciate guidance and advice
25X1 A9aerom FI, particularly acting under instructions
from DCI, undertook to do so. It was also agreed that FI, through the established
channel., would inform the FEE of this pending operation, although it was also
agreed that the matter related exclusively to foreign intelligence and did not
lie within the jurisdiction of the FBI.
3. Acting under instruction of the DCI., requested that Mr. Houston
proceed in having prepared all papers so that DCI could secure pardon for
25X1A6a representatives prior to January. Mr. Houston indicated that
Lega Counsel was prepared to state that such a pardon could be procured in
advance and could be held, so as not to make the appeal moot. I gathered,
from DCI, that he desired to have the pardon, even though it would make the
appeal moot.
25X1A9a
4. spoke to me about his draft about "War and the Soviet
Doctrine.," and indicated, in view of the requirement laid on the IAC at its
last meeting by DCI, he would not proceed with this project as it was embraced
in the over-all requirement. I concurred.
5. Lunched at the Pentagon with Messrs.Noyes and Hoopes of the Office
of the Secretary of Defense and from CIA. The 25X1A9a
topic of discussion was the situation in Iran. Defense seemed to be well up-
to-date on this situation save that it had, perhaps, too extreme a view as
to the immediate financial emergency in Iran.
6. Held first Staff meeting. Separate minutes are being prepared.
7. Chatted with Mr. Lay as to the form in which the Brownell Directive
would be issued. After checking with General Magruder and with State, Mr. Lay
suggested that the initial Directive, replacing NSCID No. 9, contained nothing
more than the Directives as approved by the President and I concurred on
behalf of DCI.

8. Upon checking the Brownell Directive, paragraph 1 e (2) had not
been ammended, in accordance with my agreement with General Magruder so
as to have the clause introduced by the words "Subject to the provisions
of NSCID Noo, 5.11 I pointed out both to Mr. Lay and General Magruder that
this change had been agreed upon and I regarded it as the equivalent of
a typographical error in the final draft. General Magruder agreed and
Mr. Lay undertook to make the change in issuing the paper. However, when
later I saw the paper when issued, I noted that this change had not been
made. I rechecked with Mr. Lay and he explained that when this proposed
correction had been submitted to States ad indicated that he 25X1A9a
had not been previously advised of this suggestions and I fully understood
Mr. Lay's position in not being able to make a change unless all concurred,
and stated that I would pursue this with General Magruder and with State.
9. Received from Admiral Stout messages relating to certain bond
transactions in Europe. Showed said messages to Mr. 1 isner and DCI, phoned
Admiral Stout and requested that identification of sources if subsequently
obtained, be passed on to us, and he undertook to do so.
-10. Attended special P.C.
