CASSIDY: reported he thought the briefings were well received. He
said he thought Lovett and Hull would recommend that National Intelligence
objectives be placed in an NSCID rather than a DCID so they would have to
receive NSC and Presidential approval. He also said they were still in an
exploratory stage as to method of procedure and mentioned that they had
sent the President a report which had been acknowledged by the President
with apparently an unsympathetic reaction from the President as to any
delimitation. Cassidy said he thought the Board or Dr. Killian would
want to sit down with the President on this subject.
said he would write a report on the briefing he and
Kent gave Hull and Lovett. Said they covered use of operational information
and its potential use in wartime, as well as national intelligence objectives.
called to complain about Grogan's objection to his
using the title "Intelligence Unmasked" and his requirement that the speech
be written out. I pointed out that we were in basic violation of NSCD) l2,
and that I didn't intend to get in the middle - he and Grogan should take
their fight to the DCI.
OTR: came in to get details on the memo requested
for the President's Board on conflicts in training. He also said OTR
had carefully reviewed and guided General Platt and that he had refused
to follow suggestions, so he didn't feel any obligation rested with OTR
for further action.

Told the DCI I was extremely concerned because) 25X1

in their presentation to Ambassador Kennedy. Said that I had not been

Mr. Kennedy had described the briefing as "excellent." Further, I said
that Mr. Wisner had discussed the briefing with me two days before., h he
said and
I had specifically asked him if he would advise and he 0
would. The DCI said he planned to talk to Killian about Lovett doing
the DD/P area, that it wouldn't be good if Kennedy were the only one whc
covered the clandestine services as he was getting old and crochety and
bad some very fixed views. He said he had told Wisner that he thought a
