Allen Dulles, Director of Central Intelligence Attention: Subject: L'ud et Analysis on Overt intelligence Collection. This is a reply to your memorandum of Januar __, 1955 on the above subject, addressed to the intelligence Advisory Committee. The draft has been reviewed and in general is concurred in.

Many requirements are now being coordinated in Washington by the Procurement Sub-Committee shed Approved For Release 2000/08/26 : ScREif49R0002000500072 Approved For Release 2 /08/26 : Cl tscaff000200OW07-2 established under NSCID-lc, but some separa channels still exist." I believe that the above revision strengthens the draft but does not alter the sense in a manner which would require further coordination. Approved For Release 2000/08/26 : 9-R6 00 49R000200050007-2
