Tab A Memorandum for DCI from Executive Secretary,
NSC, 4 June 1956
1. Tab A requests the submission by the DCI of the annual
report on the status of the foreign intelligence program to the
President and the National Security Council no later than 15 August.
Consequently, IAC agencies and subcommittees are requested to
prepare appropriate contributions, the form and content of which
should be designed to satisfy the requirements outlined in Tab A.
2. In general, the nature of the material desired appears
to be sufficiently described in Tab A to enable agencies and
committees to prepare contributions.
3. Under present arrangements, primary responsibility for
preparing the annex containing material called for by NSC action
1430 n (Tab A, last paragraph) will be assumed by the office of
Special Assistant to the Director for
Planning and Coordination, CIA (Code 143, ext. 707). Problems
related to the content and coordination of that annex will therefore
be channeled, at least initially, through that office rather than the
IAC Secretariat.
4. In accordance with reference (a), at least an interim
three-year projection must now be completed by 15 July. The
scheduling of this aspect of the annual report will therefore be
handled separately from that of the balance of the annual report.

5. The 15 August deadline for the principal portion of the
annual report makes it necessary to maintain a tight schedule on
contributions to and coordination of the paper, particularly because
of the week required for Operation Alert and the present plan to
place the item on the agenda of the IAC meeting for 7 August. We
therefore would appreciate receiving all contributions to the annual
report (exclusive of those items to be handled separately, as noted
above) in this office no later than Friday, 13 July.
