Memorandum
A C MPRRD/IC
From: Harold H. Saudes
Subject: Draft Committee on Foreign Intelligence
Directive No. 1
I appreciated the opportunity to comment on the draft
directive. My views have mainly to do with the relationship
of INR's program to the National Foreign Intelligence Program
(NFIP) and associated processes.
The INR program has for several years been included
in the DCI's review and presentation of the NFIP, and we
would have no objection to a continuation of this procedure,
so long as it is understood that INR's budget will continue
to be under the Department's authority and will be handled
as part of the total State Department program in budget
reviews with OMB and the Congress. The bulk of our small
budget is for personnel costs for our Departmental acti-
vities; it is a relatively small portion that is expended
on community-wide affairs.
I note that "communications security activities."
are included in your list of candidates to be considered
for the NFIP. I assume that you are not proposing to
include that portion of COMSEC which supports non-
intelligence activities of the Government.
