Mr. Dulles:
a. Referred to the trip to Peiping to be taken by the Secretary
General of the UN and raised the question as to whether it might not be
a good idea to brief him on brainwashing and the facts about Downey and
Fecteau. After some discussion it was agreed that this matter should be
put to the OCB for consideration at its next meeting. The Director said
in the meantime he would speak to Walter Robertson in State and seek his
recommendation on who should do the briefing.
b. Asked if there was anything more we should do at Christmas time
than sending out Christmas cards and greetings to our people at home and
abroad. The Director said he had in mind that there must be some serious
hardship cases which should be acknowledged by him in the form of a personal
letter. Mr. Kirkpatrick undertook to poll the AD's and Division Chiefs and
have prepared such letters for the Director's signature. In connection wit:a
hardship cases, the IG noted that he and Mr. Houston were working on legis-
lation which would authorize compensation to those cases incurred in the
line of duty where the individual is able to return to duty even though his
health is seriously impaired. Mr. Kirkpatrick also reported that contribu-
tions to our "revolving fund" to assist in hardship cases had not met with
much success and after some discussion it was agreed that Deputies, AD's,
Division Chiefs, and all supergrades, would have this drawn to their atten-
tion in the event they may wish to make a contribution. Mr. Kirkpatrick
noted that in discussing this revolving fund with a number of our people,
practically all had indicated a desire to contribute.

this at the next B Meeting. The Director indicated he would and asked
to determine whether there
is anything the McCarran Act vhich might prevent individuals being
returned to or taking permanent residence in a foreign country if such
individuals are in possession of knowledge which could be used against
the U.S.
