SUBJECT: I18 and 19 August 1978
1. I am pleased that you all are coming to our brief retreat on
the 18th and 19th. I look forward to the opportunity to share ideas
on how we can mutually do our jobs better. It is my plan that our
conversations be relaxed and informal. This will not be a decision-
making event.
2. I would like to table the following topics for discussion.
They are matters that are much on my mind with respect to where we are
going in the longer run. I would be happy for your suggestions, either
in advance or on the spot, for additional topics.
a. What our activities should be producing for the country
in terms of "outputs."
b. How the outputs of intelligence are likely to change over
the next decade,
c. How we can better integrate the collection operations of
the Community.
d. How we can better integrate the production activities of
the Community.
e. How we can best ensure un der our new organization that
there is a good connection between-the collectors and the producers.

3. I am attaching some papers with respect to output functions.
The first is a list of outputs to which I have assigned my own priorities.
I recognize we each view the Intelligence Community's product from a
different perspective, therefore; for openers, it may be interesting for
you to indicate the order of priority you would favor and whether these
are the correct measures of output. Also attached are shgrt point papers
on each of the ten proposed outputs. They are very basic.and are intended
only to stimulate the conversation on how we all look on the value of our
different outputs.
4. Look forward to seeing you on the 18th.
