b. Briefly discussed Operation ALERT and directed that
those present at the meeting who had not visited the
do so in the near future. Mr. Dulles said
at consideration should be given to taking the wraps off I
and designating it as a secondary CIA headquarters. The
Director noted that he based this on the fact that such a
designation would be of material assistance to him in defending
our request to the Congress for authority and funds to build
a new CIA building. General Cabell pointed out that this
purpose might be served if I is only surfaced to Congressional
Committees in Executive Session, and further he would suggest
that we move forward with plans to increase living and working
accommodations After some discussion it was
agreed that Col, white wou prepare a memorandum for the
Director containing statistical information on 0 for possible
use in defending our request for a new building. Mention was

of Intelligence, USAF, had been in to see him on 20 June and
discussed his recent trip to the Far East. General Cabell said
General Lewis had reported that relations between CIA and the
Air Force in the areas visited in general appeared to be good,
however, in some places (not specified) they could be improved.
General Cabell said General Lewis felt there should be more
aggressive leadership by CIA representatives and felt that our
man should not be satisfied with "Just dealing with
the J-2" but rather should place more emphasis on direct contact
with Army, Navy and Air Force Intelligence Chiefs in the FE
area. remarked that this is, of course, a basic
problem and we had been attempting to work this out but always
keeping the J-2 informed

Mr. Helms:
Asked if any decision had been made as to whether CIA
would have the opportunity to assign one of its officers to
the US delegation at the forthcoming Four Power Conference at
Geneva. The Director said the Secretary of State has agreed
we might send one officer, however, he (DCI) wished to reserve
decision on nominating this officer until after the San Francisco
Conference. The Director said should plan to be 25X1
in Geneva during the period of the Conference in order to lend
assistance to one of our security officers who will accompany
the Secret Service.
