RECOIMENDATION E. "The Chief of the Sovmat Staff should correct the
deficiencies in. the liaison functions of his component by the follow-
ing:
"1. Take the lead in setting up periodic conferences with
interested personnel in the Agency and come to firm conclusions on
requirements, costs, priorities, timing, and scope of exploitation
requests;
"2. Keep consumers informed, not only by memorandum, but by
consistent liaison of objects collected by the Services and their
exploitation programs;
"3. Develop a system whereby Agency exploitation requirements
submitted through the Joint Technical Intelligence Subcommittee (JTIS)
are linked to the reports disseminated in CIA through the normal OCR
channel; and
"4. Bring to the attention of Agency consumers, more forcefully
than has been former practice, unique Soviet materials in the
possession of the Services which could be profitably exploited."
2W'1DATION F.
"Provision should be made by the Chief, Sovmat
exploitation facility, thereby insuring that all departments and
agencies receive quickly, and at a minimum cost, the kind of information
desired."
00-COMMENT: We concur in these Recommendations. However, provisions
of these recommendations have been in the process of implementation
for some years and, in consequence, the recommendations essentially
deal with the degree of accomplishment. With only two professionals
on duty, maximum liaison is impossible. Sovmat, however, will make
every attempt, within manpower limitations, to fully implement the
recommendations.
