written Ray Cline solicitin his confirmation of an input from
J. J. Hitchcock to report. The two major contri-

Early Warning Review
1. A. you probably know, we are now pressings I
review of early warning intelligence to what I hope
will be a fairly speedy conclusion. After long delays, in large
measure due to mphyserna, he has now returned to the
attack, has just visited NORAD and SAC headquarter*, and
leaves next Sunday for a short visit to

2. J. J. Hitchcock was present during the visits to
NORAD and SAC and will accoxzpany 25X1
From the outset it has been obvious that the value of the early
warning report will be determined in very large measure by
Hitchcock' a contribution. I sincerely hope that he will be able
to devote sufficient time to this to complete the preparation of
a section on the exploitation of early warning data, including an
analysis of the MC, its interrelationship with other elements
of the intelligence community and field commands, together with
recommendations for improvements in its general approach to
the whole field of exploitation of these kinds of data. His recom-
mendations would presumably be based on conclusions concerning
the validity of existing indicators, the effectiveness of current
procedures for screening and identifying data of early warning
significance, the adequacy of current arrangements for orchestrating
the facilities of various levels and elements of the intelligence
community for analysis and evaluation of particular data, the
adequacy of automatic data processing, etc., etc.

3. 1 don't know exactly how to it would take J. J.
to complete a draft input to report along these
lines. I would hope not too long and I believe that the results
to be expected from such a submission would snore than justify
the cost in terms of J. J.'s valuable time.
