A ORANDUM FOR: Mr. Armstrong
Reference: Oral Inquiry
1, DCI thinks a."one package" reply to the Dulles Report
is best as suggested in DCI'e memo of January 2Sth. Of course
there will be no censorship and the whole package will be circulated
to IAC as well as NSC.
2. However, if State prefers to submit through the
DCI only its comments on the lAC, in the Section on the agreed
joint-IAC reply and in a separate section as an IAC Member, this
will be satisfactory.
3. In that case it is assumed that State's reply on
the State Chapter will be considered as a purely internal matter
and will go direct to NSC by Secretary of State himself, and that
DCI will be informed to this effect.
1. if this last procedure is going to be followed,
I (Prescott Childs) hope that as an individual on the IAC you will
send in comments on the IAC (mentioned in two or three dozen places
on reply
throughout the Report) in addition to the agreed joint
on only the Conclusions and Recommendations.
Standing Committee meeting on February 9th).
5. And, as you will recall,.the DCI would be glad
to have your comments on any parts of, or all of the Reports
especially as it pertains to the relationship of CIA and your
shop, or even just to CIA, as he mentioned at the IAC Meeting
the other day.
