		McCone dealt at length on the improper organization of the NRO and the fact that as presently organized, the research and developments of the Air Force under General Schriever were totally excluded and every effort was made, both overtly and covertly, by the D/NRO and the NRO Staff to exclude CIA from participation.
		McCone said an excess of [less than 1 line of source text not declassified] was appropriated in 1965 for research and development by CIA and that he didn't think that SecDef or anyone else had the authority to exercise a veto on the expenditure of this fund, and he had no intentions of stopping.

		McCone met with President Kennedy and the attorney general privately on 26 September, shortly after returning to Washington but apparently was unable to reverse the administration’s “near-crippling caution,” as Richard Helms later termed it, until the approved overflight schedule had at least run its course.
