Scientific Intelligence Coverae for NIS Areas
F R:%:NC .: Your 20 October 1960 memorandum,
same subject
1. The NIS Committee has considered and concurs in the SIC
recommendation in paragraph 2. a. in the referenced nnen,orandurr.,
i. e. , both Chapter VII and Section 17 coverage for each of the 18
NIS Areas listed.
2. In the Corrmittee's views with respect to para ,raph Z. b.
of the referenced metrio randum, a major consideration was under-
standing that SIC capability was Zyenerally limited to producing three
Chapters VII per year and Sections 171 in accordance with approved
Chapter I scheduling. If this continued to be the situation and since
full use of this level of effort would be required for maintenance on
the 18 primary scientific areas, the Committee considered that this
capability would not be diverted to Chapter VII production on the
7 areas listed in 2. b.
3. Jn this basis the NIS Committee approved the recoi -
menelatiors in paragraph
2. b. subject to the foilowinh; stipulations:
a. The SIC to review the areas listed in
paragraph 2. b. to ensure that they conform to
the NI:' criterion of scientific si;nificance.
>. These considerations to be re-examined
annually when the SIC forwards for NIS Comr iittee
approval successive three-year forecasts.
c. The SIG to notify the NI` Conan ittee when
existing Chapters VII on areas that do not further
require NIS coverage are no longer valid, so that
destruction notices may be issued.
