One of the important elements of this report is the estimate of Soviet intentions contained in paragraph 8 of NSC 159/4. As now written this estimate applies only to "the period covered by current estimates (through mid-1955)". Yet many of the most important continental defense programs are not now planned to reach a state of readiness until 1957 or beyond. Therefore, as a basis for reconsidering NSC 159/4 it is requested that a coordinated Intelligence Estimate of Soviet inten- ticns, at least through 1957s be prepared before March 1, 1954. /s/ James S.
