MEMORANDUM FOR: Major General Robert A. Schow
Deputy G-2 (Foreign Operations)
SUBJECT: Intelligence on International Communism
REFERENCE: Memorandum of August 3, 1955 from
Major General Robert A. Schow, Deputy 6-2
(Foreign Operations) to Chairman, IAC, on
"Intelligence on International Communism"
1. Intelligence needs relating to international communism are of
deepest concern to this Agency also. It is agreed that it would be de-
sirable, as you propose, for the IAC to consider the establishment of
a sub-committee to coordinate the efforts in this field. It is in connec-
tion with the USIA Survey, to which you refer, that CIA undertook dis-
cussions with the Department of State on the location of responsibility for
and means to expand the production of intelligence on international com-
munism. These discussions are now being concluded.
2. I propose to disseminate to the IAC in the near future for its
consideration your memorandum together with my report on the outcome
of the discussions between CIA and the State Department. We should be
able to complete this report in time to permit consideration at the IAC
meeting either on August 16 or 23.
