    M said he would be leaving to be away over the weekend unless
    there is reason for him to stay. Does Sec have anything he wants ~
    to review before he leaves. Sec asked if M went to Cabinet and M g
    said no. Sec said he thinks we should keep our eyes on the Profumo
    business - has impression the full story is not available to us . Sec
    said Fairbanks filed a report on the Ward business a while back so
    M might want to have his people check on this. Things will come out
    at the trial that will affect the govt. M agreed and said also the
    Philby thing has to be considered. Sec said there is a rumor he might
    be in Yemen. M said they are pretty sure he is behind the Iron Curtain.

    M said they sent someone to the Yemen and he got back to Jidda.
    Chemical warfare experts are there and we will have some solid info
    in a day or two.
    M said they have for some time tried to determine whether the
    Soviets were actually photographing and the extent they were from
    satellites. M said it has been determined they have been and we
    have good reproductions of what they are getting. Sec saw that this
    a. m. M will brief the Pres Tues. 21,000 passes over the US since
    Sputnik I. M wants to build it up and see how we use it in the event
    they confront us.
    M mentioned no travel to Cuba- on the other hand nothing would
    please him more than to have insurance agents walking around -press
    people. Can't we have a little latitude. Sec wants to look at it and
    thinks we should - will look at it personally at M's request. M said
    Crimmons is the man here. Sec said it is hard for us to do more than
    we want others to do. Sec will be in touch. M back Sunday night.
    Sec said the trip was tiring but the Pres was superb. M said
    Khrushchev's speech was interesting re test ban and he is having
    his people explore it. Sec thinks we are in the midst of events we
    don t know all about. Sec said M should tell his fellows to consider
    why they announced they are not jamming.
