Mr. Inderfurth said the package was exactly what he wanted and that
it would be put to use to brief the members of the Subcommittee on
Collection, Production, and Quality.
3. The three Committee Chairmen gave generalized briefings
about their particular collection systems, programs, and committee
activities. None of the Chairmen reported in any detail about the
requirements mechanism due to the lack of time. The emphasis in
each case was on the historical development of the Committee and
on a description of typical operations. The SSCI staff members did not
ask detailed questions. Mr. Inderfurth requested that each Committee
Chairman provide him a copy of an organization and function chart of the
various subcommittees, panels and working groups of the respective
committee. During the HRC briefing, Mr. Inderfurth asked for the
1973 PFIAB study on the problems of collecting intelligence through
human sources. He was informed by that that study
was not the DCI's to release and that SSCI would have to go to the
PFIAB for the document (MFR from IC-76-3270,
dated 25 August 1976, subj: Senate Select Committee Staff Interview
with Human Resources Committee Chairman).
4. All three of the Senate staffers plan to return at a future
date and conduct more detailed interviews with the DCI Collection
Committee members.
