                  MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                  SUBJECT:  Meeting on CA Matters with the Panel of the President's
                            Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board


                       1.  On 20 July 1962, the Director and the Deputy Director (Plans)

                  met with Messrs. Robert Murphy, Gordon Gray, William Langer, and

                  J. Patrick Coyne to discuss certain aspects of the Agency's Political

                  Action Programs.  The Director sat with the Panel from 10:30 'til noon,

                  the Deputy Director (Plans) was present from 10:30 to 12:30 and from

                  2:00 to 3:30.


                       2.  The Director opened the discussion ith a historical description

                  of the Agency's covert financial support to political parties in the

                  fight against Coimmmism.  He described in detail the procedures now in

                  effect whereby Political Action Projects are originated, staffed out,

                  and cleared with appropriate elements of Government. He pointed out

                  that each project must have his approval prior to its circulation to

                  the members of the Special Group. At this point, he digressed to inform

                  the Panel that reconnaissance overflights are now approved by the

                  Special Group and subsequently by the President. He said that this

                  same procedure applies to peripheral flights although to a lesser de-

                  gree.  He terminated this pant of the discussion by stating that in

                  his opinion all covert action programs are now handled in an orderly,

                  correct mmaner.
