The following items are things that have been running
through my mind and which should be followed up during my
absence. Copies of this memorandum are for Mr. Kirkpatrick
and Mr. Knoche.

2. Release of Laos and SVN SIGINT Material. The USIB 4A''"'y
has addressed itself to this problem and voted against any release. JP
prepared a brief paper for DCI dated 17 June (copy attached)
which is well done and succinct. I do not know present status of
USIB/DCI action but I feel strongly that a letter from DCI to Rusk,
McNamara, and Bundy, along the lines of the draft, should
2
accompany any notification of the USIB action to those people.

3. Contract. McMillan talked to DCI and /
systems manager for CORONA.
said he wanted to make
I :7~
The Director said it looked al rig lit to him but this had originally ?/ita
been a Charyk decision not to do it this way and he wanted to know /
what Charyk's reasoning was. McMillan tells me he has been
unable to find out what Cha ryk's reasoning was. McMillan has
directed Program A and Program B Directors to make necessary
changes in the contracts. While I personally see no objection to
letting e the systems manager, I am also fearful that
if we do not conform to McMillan's request in this instance, we
can well be accused of thwarting a forward proposal of his to help
the CORONA program overcome its difficulties. Wheelon tells
me that Greer is proceeding as of 1 July to take over complete
management of CORONA to include writing of contracts. This
thing is so confused that I do not know exactly where it stands now.
Please see if you can find out.
4. More U-2's. The DCI vetoed the idea of asking DOD
for two more U-2's for modification. He preferred to go the route
of purchasing more new ones. He presently has a paper recom-
this action. The paper is very well done although it does
mending
not cover the source of funds. I have asked him to approve the
paper as a requirement and let us then work on the funds. I would
have difficulty justifying this purchase as a proper use of our
Reserve fund -- on the other hand, I could very easily justify the
the latter two are new projects which could not have been foreseen.
Please try to get a feel from the Director if you have an opportunity.
Reserve for initiating the projects since
5. Pawley vs. Random House. I turned over to Kirk my
telephone notes of my talk with Pawley re this matter. Message
]asks for action. Pawley is the type who doesn't wait
around too long before he gets impatient and goes to other sources
or does something himself. I think we have an opportunity here
and hope we'll stay on top of it.

7. NRO Agreement. Bross prepared a memorandum
for SecDef on suggested changes in PFIAB proposed directive.
I asked DCI to hold off on action until all of us had had a chance
for inputs. Wheelon and have some very good ones.
There may be others. In any event, I would hope that we could
have a clambake on this before a memorandum goes back to
McNamara.
