CONFIDENTIAL Approved For Release 2000/08/26: CIA-RDP61-00549R000300050014-3 0 IAC-D-101 / 1 9 February 1956 INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE Intelligence Requirements on US Citizens Held in Sino-Soviet Bloc.Countries 1. On 24 January, I circulated the memorandum of the Joint Staff member which requested IAC action to satisfy the intelligence requirement considered vital to the determination of the status or the recovery of missing persons. 2. Preliminary consultation with individual departments has not made clear precisely what can or should be done over and above present efforts. Short of having a specific recom- mendation on which it could act, it is premature to place this matter before the IAC. 3. I therefore suggest that representatives from the IAC agencies meet to get a clarification of the problem from the Joint Staff representative and to discuss what specific action could be recommended to the IAC. 4. Representatives may wish to be accompanied by inter- ested officers within their respective departments who are not in the intelligence community (e. g., The Joint Staff may wish to invite the Department of Defense Prisoner Officer; the Navy may,wish to have the Marine Corps represented; and State may wish to have the State Prisoner Officer). 5. The meeting will be held at 2:00 p. in. Wednesday, 15, February, in Room 115, Administration Building, Central Intelligence Agency. 25X1A ?
