Long Term (> 6 months) - Determines ultimate
capabilities
2. OPERATIONAL TASKING
Short Term (< 6 months) - Determines immediate
utilization of existing
capabilities
3. LINE DIRECTION
Short Term (< 6 months) - Execution of tasking, ranges
from driving submarines to
assigning analysts to tasks
to personnel management

 Principles of Managing Analysis
1. Competition desirable
2. Some overlap desirable
3. Analytic agencies are personal intelligence advisors to
Sec Def, Sec State, & DCI
Therefore centralized direction must be sufficiently weak to
prevent suppression of competition & elimination of personal
advisory role; but strong enough to marshal single estimates
(with dissenting views as necessary)

Principles of Collection
1. Expense dictates minimizing overlap
2. National risk in any substantial underlap
3. Collectors serve only analysts
4. Collection techniques are complementary; coordination
essential
5. "National" & "Tactical" collection merging in both directions
Therefore centralized direction highly desirable, but inherent
risks in relying on single judgment for:
a) Determination of long term capabilities
b) Assignment of warning tasks

Steps to Narrow Decision Areas
1. Principal consideration in draft legislation &
P R M-11 is strengthening role of DC I
Therefore eliminate consideration of
issues in areas of present DCf control:
