MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT
JCS Request for CHALICE; Clearances
I am passing you herewith a memorandum that is self-explanatory.
I would like to say that I deplore the necessity of cutting in such a large group
of JCS personnel on the operational aspects of CHALICE. Even if they are
cut in, it is my Intention unless you instruct me to the contrary to make every
effort to avoid the involvement of a whole new military component in any
operational decisions in CHALICE. Our elaborate requirements procedure
ensures that the views of all components in their capacities as customers are
received and weighed. I feel that our operational coordination should continue
to be with the Air Force in accordance with presently established and, I believe,
mutually satisfactory procedures. Returning to the matter of the attached
request for clearances, I suppose there is nothing we can do but accede but
would appreciate your comment.
