Purpose: There are several reasons for this visit.
o To hear about the trade reorganization -- what it means for policymaking,
the role and new responsibilities of Commerce, and what the implications
are for the intelligence community. He is also interested in your
views on international economic priorities generally;
o to provide you, as a Cabinet officer, with a first-hand understanding
of the intelligence establishment and how it works;
o to give you an appreciation of how intelligence can help you in dealing
with international issues, in your discussions with foreign visitors
and on your trips abroad;
o to give your senior executives an opportunity to become personally
acquainted with some of his senior executives.
b) To review Commerce's intelligence needs.
c) Commerce's relationship with the Intelligence Community has been strengthened
considerably in the past two years. The Department has established an
Office of Intelligence Liaison; it has had "observer" status on the National
Foreign Intelligence Board since May 1978; it has placed representatives
on seven of the twelve DCI Intelligence Committees; it has participated
much more in the preparation of interagency intelligence studies; and
Commerce's General Counsel -- at the request of Admiral Turner -- has been
chairing an important interagency Task Force for the past seven months,
examining ways CIA and Commerce might work together to bring some benefits
of the national intelligence establishment to the business sector. In
short, Commerce has been making a substantial contribution to, as well as
benefiting from, its relationship with the Intelligence Community. The
time has come to review this relationship and examine where it should go
from here.
Background: a) Commerce is a large "consumer" of intelligence. The visit
should provide an opportunity for you to familiarize yourself
with Commerce's intelligence needs and CIA's capacity to meet
them. This intelligence is not only useful to Commerce in
dealing with international issues per se; it-also provides
an objective source of information which helps free Commerce
from being dependent on the views of State or Treasury or
other departments in some interagency conclaves.
b) The visit represents an opportunity to provide useful guidance
to the intelligence establishment on probable future
international economic problems on which some of their
collection and analytical efforts should be focused. They
need "consumer feedback" and get a large dose of it from the
defense establishment but not enough from major economic
agencies who are also intelligence consumers.
