for the duration of particular assigned tasks.
Members were invited to host TTIC meetings at their various headquarters,
as is consistent with the Community nature of the work of the Committee.
TTIC will have at least two subcommittees (the Co?runittee on Exchanges
and I subcommittee on export control). The Subcommittees will be asked
to draft their own charters, which TTIC will review and approve. Working
Groups will be established as necessary, most of these continuing only
Intelligence Community on all technology transfer issues, (b) a
production committee, and (c) a vehicle for keeping the DCI, DDCI,
and others advised. TTIC is intended to be the principal source of
intelligence support for US Government entities charged with responsi-
bility for policy formulation and action on technology transfer issues.
3. Modes of Operation. TTIC ordinarily will meet on the second
Wednesday of-the month, with three-hour meetings beginning at 9:30 AM.
While the 10 February meeting will again be in the DCI Conference Room,

and to provide recommendations to the Chairman.

5. Issues of Interest. A number of topic areas where the Committee
will be involved were discussed.
--.fir Interagency Intelligence Memorandum on "Technology
Acquisition Efforts of the Soviet Intelligence Services" currently
is being prepared by an interagency working group. The group's
draft will be reviewed by TTIC before it is forwarded to the
National Intelligence Council. Similarly, TTTC will deal with
the technology transfer portions of other estimates and interagency
documents (e.g., of NIE 11/12).

The Executive Secretary should be contacted by volunteers by
31 January.
--Mr. Denysyk, the Commerce Member, summarized developments
related to the high Level COCOM meeting scheduled for the third
week of January. He stressed the importance of good intelligence
to the furthering of US export policy. For example, other COCOM
members are more amenable to the strengthened controls sought by
the US when intelligence can illustrate how the Soviets have used
Western technology and commodities and incorporated these into
their military capabilities. Mr. Denysyk also invited TTIC support

the next TTIC meetings. Some discussion prompted by the Army Member

was a very good idea, and that a coordinated input to trade case
deliberations would be very helpful. Other questions and the ensuing
discussion primarily addressed questions of procedures and modes of
effective operation. The Chairman stressed that the Subcommittee

8. Subcommittee on Export Control. This new subcommittee is
intended to provide the best Intelligence Community analysis
available about the likely military, economic, and other impact
of the export of particular commodities and technical data to
communist countries. The aim is to support the deliberations in
existing interagency mechanisms such as ACEP and EDAC, and some of
the cases considered by the Subcommittee will come from requests and
referrals from these organizations. Sensitive and complicated cases
will be discussed in the Subcommittee itself; more routine cases will
be handled by staff and in a subcommittee interagency working group.
10. Members were invited to nominate candidates for chairperson
of the Subcommittee and to provide names of subcommittee members and
* alternates to the Executive Secretary by 31 January.
11. Other Business. A number of other topics were addressed briefly:
--Is there need for a third subcommittee to deal with illegal
(including clandestine) acquisition of technology and related
countermeasures? The advice of Members was solicited. The matter
will be discussed further at the February TTIC meeting.
--The Justice-chaired Interagency Working Group on Export
Control Enforcement is being reactivated. will serve
as an alternate representative from CIA. One prob em is to ensure
that intelligence information and analysis is available to the
enforcement community in a legal and appropriate fashion while
also protecting as necessary sensitive intelligence sources and
methods. Mr. Cinquegrana (Justice) spoke briefly regarding some
of these activities and issues. The Chairman intends to establish
a Working Group to explore ways for TTIC and its member agencies
to better support the "enforcement community." As a first step,

staff will circulate to Members copies of the 1980 Subcommittee
Report to the "Keuch Committee" dealing with "Intelligence
Community Coordination and Communication with Export Control
Enforcement Agencies." (See TTIC-C-06.) Agencies interested
in participating in a review of that report should contact the
Executive Secretary.
--Members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have
asked about the "status of improvement measures" outlined in the
October 1981 Summary Report on Technology Transfer to Communist
Countries and the Intelligence Community's Role and Effectiveness.
Interest was expressed in the "resources and effort" currently
being programmed and in "arrangements for information and support
from other agencies to the Intelligence Community to deal with
these problems. . (CIA) is taking the lead in
developing a response to these questions. He will he in contact
with members of the working group that helped prepare the SSCI

technology transfer study and particularly the preparation of
Defense/DIA papers for use in two of the international working
groups.
12. Members' Continents. At the end of each meeting, the Chairman
intends to "go around to he table," asking each Member for his comments,
suggestions, observations. Some of these follow:
--A recent exchange of letters between Deputy Secretary of
Defense Carlucci and the Executive Officer of Science Magazine
was mentioned. The exchange is entitled "Scientific Exchanges
and U.S. National Security." (The letters subsequently were
copied to COMEX members under COMEX-C-119.)
--The usefulness of the new COJUiX ADP file was mentioned,
as was the likely need for a new Community automated data base
dealing with intelligence opinions on trade control cases.

--Given the length, complexity, and orientation of the
Militarily Critical Technologies List and the COCOM'I lists, there
is need to consider the desirability and feasibility of a
shorter more useful list of critical technologies, highlighting
those that are "unit{ue" in the United States and also flagging
those that are most needed by the Soviets.
--Tailored requirements and other guidances for collectors
are needed, underscoring the particular needs for technology
transfer related information.
13. Future Future Meetings. The February meeting will include status
reports on the high-level COCOM meeting and on the NATO Technology
Transfer Study. The Army Member suggested that it would be useful to
have TTIC briefed regarding the range of customers for TTIC products and
advice. The Chairman indicated that he would ask particular consumers
to individually brief the Committee in the coming months.
