SUBS11-01: 'lite Iesistence c-etiznate and Country
Annexes
1. General Schou, has briar ryaerd me that ht. taR a4 tugent re-
quirement ior coordinated -- though not necessarily LAG approved --
country studies on resistance. The 1irectoa o4Lentral Intelligence
agrees that such studies should be done.
2. It is my belier. that the IAC is Utlanitzuntill in desiring an
estimate an a. esistance in the bloc similar toNi 1J-55: "Anti-
Communist it.tisistaaco Potential in the Sino-Soviet Bloc' (12
April 1/55).
3. :the iollowing compromise solution saggests itaeli as the
most eliective and equitable division or labor.
A. My ailice to drait and coordinate with theIAC
agancy represettuttives a terms al re,erenc. to cover both
the estimate and the country studies noted above.
B. Written contributions to be solicited ;.zorn all
appropziate parts ot the intelligence coal taunity. Including
the clandestine services a: this agency.
v.:. CIA to luxnish the person or persons to dust the
country studies.
D. The 11C to act as the Later-agency coordinating
committee on these drat country studies. Presumably the
Chairman at 14G would chair these sessions. My *dice can
underwrite reproduction and diiillerni1341310it al dratts, it this
seams desirable. General Schow does not require +ull toirnal
IAC action and I will strongly urge that the IAC do no more than
note the dniahed texts.

F. U the IAC Imola that this procedure *weld unduly
