7. Report to the President by the President's Committee on Interna-
tional Information Activities Dated June 30, 1953 13
Mr. Cutler briefly discussed the contents of Chapter 7 of the sub-
ject report as the portion which affected the National Security
Council and which the President desired the Council to consider.
Mr. Cutler noted that the proposal in Chapter 7, to create an Oper-
ations Coordinating Board, had had rough handling in the Plan-
ning Board, which had raised objections to its content and to the
fact that the chapter was being considered without adequate prior
staff work. In the light of these objections, Mr. Cutler continued, he
recommended that the Council make no decision at this meeting
Prepared by S. Everett Gleason, Deputy Executive Secretary of the NSC, on July 3.
