1. The reference Haanual came to the attention of this Staff when we were
in the process of drafting a glossary of terror for use In connection with a
proposed handbook on ,Planning, Programming, and Reporting for the Clandestine
Services. In lieu of a sepurate ,glossary, it is now believed that the reference
Manual, published by the Office of Training,, should be used as the basic
document.
2. The definitions that are particularly applicable in planning arid pro-
grumming terminology are :listed on the attached sheets. Following appropriate
coordination, the attached definitions, as well as others that may be sug-
gested by addressees., will be incorporated in a supplement or annex to the
reference Manual, Such supplement or annex will have a more restricted
distribution than the Manua]. itself.
3. It is suggested that DD/P-ADMIN (Chf ), C/F'I and C/TSS 25X1 A
provide or review definitions for functions over which each staff has tech-
nical staff supervision. This should include appropriate coordination with
the Area Divisions. In addition,, because ~ is reaponsible for war planning, 25X1 A
in coordination with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and for preparatory action in
time of cold war for Clandestine Services action in the event of general war,
25X1A it is suggested that _ provide definitions (after appropriate coordination
within the Clandestine Services) for the following terms: CIA Commander,

c. the kind of tactical or functional activity by which the
objective(s) is (are) to be accomplished. (.see operational
action index)

COLD WAR -- The current global situation of sntugonism between the USSR
plus its satellites and the free world, in which CIA retains responsibility
for funding and direction of its activities generally throughout the world.
(This term is used in Clandestine Services planning and programming because
it is the best rerainde:r that the current situation more nearly resembles
war -than peace, because the conduct of CIA actions involved require a stra-
tegic and tactical approach of a military character, and because no other
term has been suggested which conveys thepe connotations with equal brevity
and clarity.)
COLD WAR ACTIVITIES -- The current operationu of the Clandestine Services) with

sources and existing ccnmitments against such reaourcea, to accomplish a
feasible objective. The terms apply to Clandestine Services Planning and
Programming.

Security I orrutti on
GE14ERAL (or HOT) WAR -- A state of global or major subglobal overt military
hostilities. The major significance of this condition for Clandestine
Services planning is the consequent subordination in the field of CIA
activities (or a major portion thereof) to the operational control of the
commanders of the U. S. military forces in theaters of active military
operations. At tine national or Washington level, the responsibilities
of DCI are not subordinated, but all Clandestine Services activities'
must be coordinated with the JCS.

ed during cold war to prepare for the wartime activation of the clandes-
tine apparatus required for effective CL performance of its wartime
missions and for provision of CIA support to the Military Services.

The major indicators of this condition will be the geographical re-
striction of combat and the fact that, while eitbr U. S. or USSR forces
may be-: i.rtrolVed, the-_y v-41,11- not both Wovc "tl.y< ?dngaged. The significance
of this condition for Clandestine Services planning is that the GEN. iAL
WAR relationships betl;reeri CIA and the Department of Defense may pertain
for the combat area but not world-wide.

Memorandum dtd 13 May 1953 from the Director of
Training to SA/DDA; Subject: "Glossary of Intelli-
gence Terminology"
1. As indicated in the above references, various Agency components
(DD/P, DD/I, and DD/A) have indicated a desire that the Agency publish a
Glossary of Terms. Your office has undertaken to prepare such a glossary,
and we understand that it has now been published as an intra-office publi-
cation of the Office of Training for use in training activities.
2. advises us that you have noDyet considered the advis-
ability of recommending Agency publication and distribution of the Glossary.
However, in response to what apparently is an Agency-wide need for such a
glossary, I would like to suggest that either your office or the Regulations
Control Staff formally distribute sufficient copies to each Agency component
for their review in order to:
a. Determine whether the consensus is that the Glossary is suf-
ficiently complete and adequate in terms of current need to warrant
Agency publication at this time; and
b. To elicit suggestions and/or corrections for the prepublication
revision of the Glossary.
3. We suggest publication of the Glossary as an Agency Handbook without
a corollary regulation requiring acceptance and mandatory application in view
of the probability that the full development and acceptance of common terminol-
ogy is a lengthy evolutionary and educational process.
4. We also suggest a foreword which explains the purpose and long range
objective of the Glossary in terms of benefits accruing to the entire intelli-
gence family from the development of a uniform common language. In addition,
we urge that responsibility for the continuing development and maintenance of
the Glossary be placed with the Office of Training, and the procedure for
submitting suggestions and additions be prescribed.

SUBJECT: Intelligence Glossary
DATE: 24 February 1953
1. We have reviewed the intelligence glossary which. you left with
me sometime ago. We find that there is a considerable overlap between
it and the glossary we prepared for the use of our school. Each of
them, however, contains a large number of terms not to be found in the
other. I would like to see the two combined so we would have one
standard glossary for our use. We shall, be glad to cooperate in any
way that seems feasible in preparing such a common glossary.
2. Concerning the criticisms appearing on the copy you left with
us, I think that for the most part they are well taken. The definitions
can be sharpened up a great deal and a, number of inconsistencies elimina-
ted. One general suggestion which I would make is that the definitions
omit references to CIA and its procedures. If a term is related to
current CIA organization then it will be necessary to correct the glossary
with every organizational change that is made. From several years ex-
perience I know that organization charts have relatively short lives.

FOREWORD *
1, Differences between this and most of the numerous earlier intelligence
glossaries stem largely from objectives: instead of concentrating upon
the needs of one or a few components, this glossary seeks to serve the Agency
as a whole; rather than trying to make final or authoritative pronouncements,
this glossary attempts only to take an effective step in an orderly
evolutionary process.
2. Pursuing the first of these objectives, the glossary tries to give any
professional worker in the Agency definitions that are not only sound in
themselves but meaningful in the broad context of the intelligence enterprise?
The second objective is reflected not only in the word Tentative on the
title page but in arrangements that are being made for the efficient
collection of ideas for an improved second edition,
3,. The primary purpose of these arrangements is to encourage any interested
member of the Agency to offer constructive suggestions concerning additions,
deletions, changes, format, or any other phase of the glossary project, A
secondary purpose is to obtain, with each proposal, a competent judgment
concerning it. To perform this function, officers are being designated in
the principal components of the Agency. A sample memorandum to serve both
purposes is reproduced on the following page.
4. This glossary is not intended to serve either of two special purposes%
(a) a technical reference for the relatively small number of persons who, in
their regular official transactions, need to use a particular term in some
legalistically restricted sense; or (b) a comprehensive instructional or
operational aid in any highly specialized field.
5, Terms whose intelligence meanings are adequately covered in such a
,5 are omitted from
general-purpose dictionary as Webster's New 2o1le it-,
this glossary. For two reasons it has not, however, seemed feasible to
adopt any such division of labor with the jaUonarv of Unite States Military.
Ter for joint Usage, Since it first appeared in June, 1948, this
Dictionary has undergone two extensive revisions, and numerous Agency offices
lack a copy of any one of the three editions.
6. It will be observed that the general listing contains a few references
to GLOSSARY SUPPLID'1EENT #1,, This.device is employed in order to reconcile
the objective of maximum usefulness with the necessity of restricting the
dissemination of particularly sensitive definitions. The Supplement is
