ANNEX
EMERGENCY PLANNING OF THE
SCIENTIFIC ESTIMATES COMMITTEE
The SEC's Present Concept of Its Wartime Mission
Under wartime conditions the SEC will:
a. Coordinate national intelligence on foreign, chiefly enemy,
developments in science and technology as it contributes to our
knowledge of enemy potentials, exploitable vulnerabilities, and inten-
tions, with the proviso that designation of operational targets is not
generally comprehended in this function, although specific exceptions
may require SEC action. The SEC will be prepared to coordinate
current scientific and technical intelligence within its purview,
produce periodic and special reports on foreign, chiefly enemy,
developments in science and technology, prepare spot evaluations as
required, and make short-term projections.
b. Integrate scientific and technical intelligence contributions
to post-hostilities planning at the national intelligence level. This
function will normally be fulfilled in compliance with IAC action.
c. Provide scientific intelligence support within its sphere
of responsibility to appropriate levels, including that of the wartime
director for scientific research, in the national mobilization
structure.
