3. The planning for the coordination of the activities
relating to national security of intelligence agencies under
the National Intelligence. Authority has been started. However,
the initial over-all survey will require many months and
the resulting decisions cannot be implemented for an appre-
ciable period thereafter. Meanwhile, it appears essential to
ensure that existing intelligence agencies are not weakened
materially prior to the effecting of the initial coordination.
4. Pursuant to the above directives and authorizations, the
entral Planning Staff of the Central Intelligence Group will
undertake immediately an interim broad survey of the exist:Lnf
intelligence agencies under the National Intelligence Authori*ty
in order to determine the following:
a. Are the present intelligence facilities of each such
agency adequate for carrying out its responsibilities as
related to the national security.
b. Is any change contemplated which will affect the
adequacy of present intelligence facilities prior to the
initial coordination of their activities by the National
Intelligence Authority.
c. Is any interim action required as a result of the
findings of ' a and b above.
5. It is requested that each member of the Intelligence
Advisory Board designate a representative to arrange details
with the Central Planning Staff and to furnish the Central
Intelligence Group a list of personnel authorized to give
information for. ,purposes of this survey.
6. The Central Planning Staff will submit its findings,
conclusions, and rec0nmendattons to til-ie Director of Central
Intelligence, who will then take appropriate action.
