PLANNING GUIDES
The following is an attempt to describe briefly the most important
existing and probable future problems facing the U. S. intelligence effort.
The entries on the list are necessarily general; other considerations
and problems essential to an effective long-term intelligence system
may have been overlooked. Each contributor to the Fifteen-Year Plan
should therefore consider this listing as only general guidance to his
development of goals and programs.
In the consideration of long-range intelligence goals and in the
preparation of programs over the next five-year period, U. S. intelligence
agencies should give consideration to the following needs:
I. 'Management,-Pro gram Control and Coordination

collection, processing and analytic elements.
4. Allocation of resources to analytical and collection
tasks, both intra- and inter-agency.
5. Organization structures to meet revised responsibilities
and requirements.
