Nemo for D.C.I., Tilted 30/4, subject as below, ent of the State-WarqhmCoordinating Committee, Sub. or Security Control (Security Advisory.lbard). The Presidential directive estahliehing the N.I.A. and the C.I.C., dated 22 January 1946, was the enclosure to Directive No. 31 obruary 1946, Hence, a statement contained in the SINCC ad hoc report of 5 February 1946, that there was no existing diRrEgintal oh could then assume the OWI Security Advisory Board functions, ems The ,?4 committees therefore recommended that MCC set up a contra committee -pith a State Department chairman in order to ammo 047 Board functions, It should be noted4 furthermore that, even during the period this matter is under study (January April 1946): C.I.G. was just being organised, personnel procured and initial policyprocedures established. 2. In viewof the fact that it took over eix months to set up the BINGO Sub-cammittee tor Security Control, the old OWI Security Advisory Board having been aboliemed on 31. August 1945, the undersigned did not feel it advisable to Stifle Committee activity at this late date by initiating an action designed to (over) Approved For Release 2000/09/11: CIA-RDP64-09t fiteliML7-4 ecl ExiivElebeftsg.20D6Wall/iiinii.044-REOUrii0~WIJAP1109'12kdliretgned root, recommended that the C.I.G. liaison officers appointed to the tyAdvipory Board closely observe- its functioning in order to gather upon shit% to base a sound recommendation to the Director of Central as to the desirability of putting the Board under the Mr. Appleby, ia:tho referenced letter, believes that ahould undertake this security activity, Although I agree pith bin in principle, I feel that ee should attend a few of the meeting* to determine if there is a real necessity for such a Board. If there is, it "JAI be very easy to put it under and directly influence its activities by announcing a member of the 04.0. as coordinator, possibly even as chairman, depending on the degree of control desired. 4. It 54 quite evident that there are many other intelligence activities under the 3tetc-Wer4avy Coordinating Committee, Joint Intelligence Committee other comparable bodies 'which eventually should be taken under the sing of 0. I slete survey of these bodies might well be initiated to determine ? activit es which lend themselves to M.A. (C.I.00 control. Up to this some Similar surveys have been initiatedl but on slither a piece-meal basis. over-all survey is conducted, a high-level policy decision must be made as far N.I.A. (0.1.00 should go in assuming direct staff supervision of common-interest intelligence activities. 5. It is believed that Mr, Applobyis letter to Mr. Anderson saw result in N.I.A. being requested to assume staff supervision of the Security Advisory Board activity at a somewhat earlier date than was anticipated in our recent memmendation to Admiral Souerse It is, therefore, recommended that we await further action on the part of either Mr. Appleby or Kr. Anderson, Acting Chairman of the Board, and if this does not materialise, to continue under the current recommendations made by the Central Planning Staff to Admiral Souers on this, natter. T. J. S.
