MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Allen Dulles, Director

Execu ve Req -&Y
.Subject: Budget Analysis, on Overt Intelligence
Collection.
This is a reply to your memorandum of Janu ary.31,
1955 on the above subject, addressed to the Intelligence
Advisory Committee. The draft has been reviewed and in
general is concurred in. However, it is believed that
the two modifications stated below would improve the
paper for; submission to the Bureau of the Budget.
A statement on external research coordination,
suggested by R as an addition to the December version of
the paper, was not incorporated in the current draft.
R's external research activity has been included in the
cost tabulation, and it was believed, therefore, that
some reference to a coordinated collection program would
be pertinent in the accompanying narrative. I still
believe that the paper would. be improved by the inclusion
of a brief statement on external research, but this
addition is left to your discretion.
The following rewrite of sub-section b. Publications
Procurement on page 10 is suggested:
"Full coordination of publications
procurement in the field by all pertinent U.S..
representatives abroad is desirable and neces-
sary to utilize available resources fully and
to prevent duplication of procurement in
response to general requirements. Many
requirements are now being coordinated in
Washington by the Procurement Sub-Committee

 Approved For Release"000/O 61-00549R 00200050020-7
established under NSCID-16, but some separate
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.
