9. Attended a meeting in ffice respecting the 25X1 A9a
25X1A2g downgrading - The big issue to my mind is whether the advance
represented by the security committee position is sufficient to justify
limiting the all-source concept. This is an extremely serious issue and
we shall have to be very careful in feeling our way on this subject.
10. Fisher Howe of State phoned and expressed substantial
concern at the EDAC intelligence working group. The difficulty which
State is having with this group relates to the fact that it is composed
of policy people and intelligence people and the intelligence group is
being requested to express views on policy. I assured him that I was in
entire accord that intelligence should not be required to express views
on policy. Fisher suggested as an alternative that the intelligence
support for EDAC be made a working committee of EIC and be separated
from the policy-makers. After some discussion, I indicated that I
would request a briefing from my people and have a chat with Fisher
early next week.
