memorandum indicating the extent to which the suggestions of the collaborators
had.been accepted or rejected, and a letter of transmittal to the National
Security Council.
6. In response to a request from General Canine, conferred with
him and with Admiral Wenger on the following points:
a. After an extended discussion of the definition of the mission
of AFSA in the Brownell directive, we agreed that the
qualifying clause could read: "the production, evaluation and
dissemination of finished intelligence." This was agreed to by
General Canine and Admiral Wenger, but Wenger later phoned and
stated that Park Armstrong desired some additional language.
I talked with Armstrong by phone and he concurred in the above
language and I so informed Wenger, who indicated that unless I
heard from him shortly this would be the agreed form.
b. I explored with General Canine and found that he was fully in
agreement with the revised form of delegation, applicable only
to the Director of NSA.
c. I mentioned to General Canine the desirability of a junior
USCIB, and he concurred.
