Thz Executive Comittee met on Friday, J;nuiary 25th, and
am.ppLw'd the new pc2.icy as outlined by the Coo: inator.
Wiciaions bearing on covert operations were reached as follows:
1. The Special Group will have the responsibility of
continuing review of the program for infiltration of covert intelli-
tence agents. ?rajt ess will be regularly checked with the Group.
Nigher authority made a particular point of saying that, although
the objective of 'intensified covart collection' is approved,
nonetheless, CIA hoituld not feel. it is under pressure to get good
men killed in the -rocess. In other words, the advantages to be
gained from intensified collection must be continually weighed
against the risks. This will be done by the Special Group.
2. The Pttorney General expressed great interest in the
extent to which key members of. the Brigade will be brought into
planning and current operations. lie thought that they should be
thoroughly consulted on plans for intelligence teams and he indicated
that he will personally keep an eye on progress in this regard.
3. The use of propaganda balloons was disapproved at this
time. It apparently was not clear as to exactly how far CIA should
go in maintaining its current capability for launching balloons.
At Mr. Bundy's suggestion I had a long talk with Cottrell on
Saturday, the 26th. We discussed in particular the method of operation
with the Brigade. I pointed out some of the security aspects that
would have to be watched, but expressed the opinion that a workable
method of operation could be devised so that the Brigade leaders
could provide motivation and could feel a sense of participation,
without having to bring them so closely into the details of target
areas, dispatch, commo, etc., as to constitute a security hazard.
I cited the Agency's experience with the NHS as a possible guideline
in this regard. We agreed that after Mr. FitzGerald returns from
Panama, about the first of February, the three of us should discuss
this matter further.
