1. Spoke by phone to Mr. Jackson, who undertook to come down and
talk over Secretary Lovett's revisions of the Brownell directive. It was
ultimately arranged that Mr. Jackson would arrive on the Congressional
Wednesday morning, which gets in about 10:30.

Brownell directive. Undertook to send Magruder and Armstrong a redraft of

3. Spoke to respecting the present posture of the
Egypt matter and learned that some form of agreement had been signed with
25X1A9a the Bancamerica interests. Also requested to cooperate with
0/CI in the evaluation of a recent cable from Tehran respecting the plans of
Kashani, et al. for a coup.

5. Explained to - why I was unwilling to grant an excep-
tion to the DCIts order requesting reports on trips in or out of the country
25X1A7b for I explained that there would, as a matter
of course, be a screening of all such reports so that only matters which
25X1A9a should be brought to the attention of DCI would be finally transmitted to
him. would have to take responsibility for screening these reports
to me and I would take responsibility for any further screening.
6. I noted in the report of conferences with the Operational
Offices, as furnished by 0/SI, that they are proceeding to make arrangements
respecting what is to be done about scientists attending international
conferences. There is no evidence that this is being coordinated by 0/0,
to which I had assigned the general supervision and coordination in this
25X1A9a matter. I have asked to request Mr. Reber to insure that
however this matter is handled it be coordinated by a single office. I am
fearful that O/SI!s freewheeling may result in conflicting arrangements.
25X1A9a 7. Visited in Middleburg and with him reviewed
the redraft of the Brownell directive.
