INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM FOR THE INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: Expansion of Activities of IAC Ad Hoc Committee
on Exchanges
I. The following is an excerpt from the minutes of the OCB
meeting of 30 July 1958:
"Noted that the IAC subcommittee on East-West
exchanges would consider the intelligence aspect of
exchanges of scientific equipment with Communist Bloc
countries, in addition to its current duties related to
exchanges of persons. Further noted that information
developed by the subcommittee would be supplied to the
East-West Contacts Staff of the Department of State for
its use in connection with the interagency coordination
of East-West exchange matters. Agreed further that
the OCB would consider any cases which are unusual or
highly important in nature or in which there is disagree-
ment in the interagency committee on East-West contacts."
2. As you are aware, the IAC Ad Hoc Committee on Exchanges
thus far has concerned itself only with intelligence aspects of the East-
West exchange of persons. To meet this OCB requirement it would
appear necessary for the IAC to: (a) instruct the Exchange Committee
to expand its activities to include consideration of the intelligence as.
pect of proposed exchanges of materiel with the Communist Bloc
countries and (b) agree that pertinent information developed by the sub-
committee would be supplied to the East-West Contacts Staff of the
Department of State.
3. We have been advised that Mr. Dulles will raise this matter
for discussion and appropriate action at the IAC meeting scheduled for
12 August.
