Duplication of functions assigned NPIC per NSC :m 0 were discussed, and it was noted that Bureau of the Budget officers assigned DDD responsibilities bearing on photo interpretation activities should be consulted by BOB officers reviewing the NPIC budget in order to identify and evaluate possible duplication of effort. Plans and Tochnical Development Staff Proposal 3. A proposal for an NPIC Plans and Technical Development Staff was explained by and discussed by the Board.

However, it must be recognized that the military services and defense agencies sponsoring collection systems singularly or collectively control operational clearances and NPIC can only request, not authorize, clearances. 4. It is contemplated that, the Tsble of Organization of the staff will call for a 08-15 as chief; branch chief positions would be at the 0S-14 level. This staff, like all other NPIC components, is to be manned by civilian and military personnel with the objective being, as previously stated, to obtain the best qualified individual available , for each position. 5.
