1. By his own admission, Colonel Miller "knows nothing about
science", hence, as he proceeds further into OSI, he seems to be
more and more at sea. As a result, his questions are academic, and
of a searching nature. His principal concern revolves around ultimate
in-
responsibility for intelligence collection in specific field c
terest, specifically nuclear energy and enemy potential. lds topic
of ELINT seemed to impress him considerably, although the responsibility
for said collection confused him.
2. Colonel Miller continues to be concerned over specific author-
ity delegated to assumed responsibilities. He keeps asking, "Who told
you to do such and so; do you have a directive assigning this jobto
you?"
3. A great deal of time was devoted to the very real problem of
OSI scientific personnel, without solution. The problem revolved
around how to attract and keep specialized personnel, and at the same
time have them keep apace with their specialization in the field of
industry and research. Colonel Miller and McGruder were vitally in-
terested in what steps were being taken to maintain the interests and
capabilities of the aforementioned, and at the same time avoid wide-
spread, crippling turnovers. The subject of recruitment and training
were also of great interest to Colonel Miller. In fact, the whole
problem of personnel consumed the greater majority of the morning's
session, and I can predict that this will be a target of interest when
the task force hits the Office of Personnel Procurement and the Career
Development Board. Principally, they are interested in projected plans
to care for existing problems.
4. This question pops up repeatedly and will doubtless continue
throughout the investigations "what percent of your material do you
obtain from what sources, either within or without the Agency"?
