OUR CHARTER
Speaker
25X1A
Insulated with our two-ocean protection and
not considering "Intelligence" as a necessary
or even desirable adjunct of Government, the
United States was both shortsighted and tardy
in developing an organization to make Na-
tional Intelligence. Though World War II
convinced policy makers of the need for
strategic estimates to strengthen national
security, no simple organizational pattern
was available. Hence, out of a barrage of
suggestions, criticisms, and designs came both
an agency for national intelligence and the
standards and norms to bolster and develop
such an organization. In the world of today,
the Central Intelligence Agency of our nation
is designed so as to develop the best intelli-
gence products as guides for our policy
leaders.
1115 -1125 Question Period
1125 -1150 BRIEFING OF "CIA SECURITY Col. Sheffield Edwards
OFFICERS"
Each employee of the agency must consider
himself at all times a "security officer" of the
organization and as such must adopt an ever-
present and realistic security attitude toward
every task and responsibility. The strength of
all we do in every component of intelligence is
only as strong as our weakest security link.

ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
Col. Lawrence K. White
The goal of administrative officials is to re-
lieve those persons who are responsible for
operations and the production of intelligence
of as much o;' the business and administra-
tive detail involving men, money, and materiel
as possible. Administrative support is not an
incidental but an integral and vital part of
our operational and intelligence effort. It is
essential that it be carefully considered in all
phases of our operations and activities from
the early stages of planning through execu-
tion.
0930 - 0940 Question Period
OVERT COLLECTION Fisher Howe
Dept. of State
Overt collection of raw information is a func-
tion as wide as the world and as comprehen-
sive and diverse as all types of data. The
main overt collector in Government is the
Dept. of Stag;, through its far-flung Foreign
Service. The Attaches of the military estab-
lishment tie in with this operation. Such
broad and complex collection demands con-
tinual coordination. Furthermore, guidance,
both general and specific, must be given con-
stantly to the collectors. Many problems still
remain to be solved in this field.

1035 -1105 CIA'S COLLECTION
All possible sources of information are ex-
ploited in the collection of raw data. A very
large bulk of the information useful to an in-
telligence agency comes from overt sources.
In addition, a tremendous volume of reports
comes from official sources abroad. The most
vital aspects of the collection field are: first,
to know what information is available; and
secondly, to specifically request information
necessary to fill the gaps. Covert means of
collection are used only when overt means fail
or are impossible to use.
1105-1115 Question Period
1115 - 1150 COORDINATION OF
INTELLIGENCE
Sherman Kent
Coordination of intelligence is a term as broad
as the word "intelligence" itself. The efficient
intelligence effort must be coordinated at
every level: the nature and priority of re-
quirements, overt and clandestine collection,
evaluation of the raw take, research and other
"production," and estimates. Further, there
must be coordination between intelligence pro-
ducers of all types and their consumers.
Every intelligence organization is therefore
mindful of its "coordination" responsibilities,
but the DCI is under special statutory notice
to do the most difficult and important type of
coordination. He must coordinate "the intel-
ligence activities of the several departments
and agencies in the interest of national secu-
rity . . ." to quote a part of the National
Security Act of 1947. His indispensable aids
in the performance of this duty are the NSC
organization and the Intelligence Advisory
Committee.

ECON. AND GEOG.
INTELLIGENCE PANEL
Economic and geographic intelligence is based Otto E. Guthe
on the analysis of information from all sources Panel Members
ranging from open publications and news-
papers to the most highly classified materials.
The research in these fields results in reports
and estimates that focus on problems of na-
tional intelligence significance and that sup-
port operational planning. The functions of
economic and geographic intelligence are to
mobilize all f ertinent data, to analyze these
data for meeting intelligence requirements,
and to identify the gaps that require more
effort, both in collection and research, in order
to solve remaining uncertainties. Economic
intelligence production in CIA is confined
largely to the study of the Soviet Bloc and to
the coordination of economic research on for-
eign areas performed in other agencies.

Introductory Remarks

25X1A
0940 -1020 CURREI T INTELLIGENCE PANEL Introductory Remarks
The production of current intelligence is a (0940 - 0950)
natural and essential function of any intelli- Huntington D. Sheldon
gence organization which is near the locus of
plans, policies, and operations. This is true Panel Members
both in a departmental and in a national 25X1 A
sense. The analogous function in the indi-
vidual presupposes a highly complex organism.
In an organization of individuals dedicated to
current intell.gence there is presupposed at
least a comrr..on insistence upon truth and
speed. The atmosphere of current intelli-
gence is rather tense. Ideally the production
of current intelligence yields a continuing
grasp of what is going on throughout the
foreign world now to which attention should
be paid, because of its actual or potential
danger to us or because of its actual or poten-
tial good for us. When a government is taken
by surprise in its relations or operations with
foreign states there has been a failure in cur-
rent intelligence, either in its production or in
its appreciation and use.

1035-1115 SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE Introductory Remarks
PANEL (1035 -1045)
Scientific intelligence encompasses foreign re-
search and development from the point of
pure research to that of production. Its role
is to assess the effect of science and tech-
nology upon the military, economic, political
and psycho-social capabilities and vulnerabili-
ties of other nations. A crucial aspect of this
role is the prediction of the development of
new weapons, equipment, and techniques. In
addition scientific activities may provide an
indication of intentions. Adequate scientific
intelligence will have a profound impact upon
our strategy, policies, and research and de-
velopment programs. Primary production re-
sponsibility for major subjects is allocated
between CIA and the military services. OSI
has a responsibility to the community for
producing intelligence within its allocated
area. At the same time, OSI is responsible
for providing the DCI and other offices of the
Agency with support in the entire scientific
intelligence field.
1115-1150 NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
. ESTIMATES
Many of the most important questions asked
of intelligence cannot be answered directly
from even the best accumulation of facts and
data. Sometimes this is because the facts are
not available and cannot be ascertained; more
often it is because the questions themselves
pose problems of judgment rather than of fact.
The answer must be in the form of an esti-
mate. National Intelligence Estimates repre-
sent.the coordinated judgment of the princi-
pal government intelligence agencies, includ-
ing CIA itself, upon intelligence problems of
national importance which transcend the
competence of any one agency. It is the
function of the Board of National Estimates to
prepare these estimates and see to their co-
ordination.

DAY'S PROGRAM
0905 - 0940 THE BRITISH INTELLIGENCE '
SYSTEM
CIA is particu:.arly interested and has been
since its incept'.on in the history and develop-
ment of the British intelligence organization.
As a result of a study of British intelligence at
the end of World War II by various qualified
personnel in our Government, certain features
of the then incipient central intelligence or-
ganization were drawn from the British pat-
tern. For centuries, British intelligence has
had a reputation as the most efficient activity
in that field. It can be stated with some cer-
tainty now t]...at the Central Intelligence
Agency is surpassing British intelligence In
many areas of e.ctivity. This the British freely
admit. They are profiting by CIA's improve-
ment in selection and training of personnel, in
development of intelligence procedures and in
quality of outpit.
0940 - 0945 Question :Period
0945 -1020 THE SOVIET INTELLIGENCE. '
SYSTEM
The MVD is more than a police organization it is one of the key components of the Soviet
power machine. Its vast organization, re-
sources and authority probably exceed those
of any security organization in history. Its
strengths, which derive from these factors, re-
flect and typify the strengths of the Soviet
system. But the MVD suffers from certain
actual or potential weaknesses, which likewise
reflect the weaknesses of the Soviet system.
Chief among these is the fact that, for all of
its far-reaching facilities, it must rely upon
human skills md subjective judgments in
analyzing and evaluating the information
which it gathers; and it is here that we must
look for its Ac::iilles heel. For there is good
reason to believe that the Soviet official,

whether he be an intelligence officer, a dip-
lomat, a propagandist, or a theoretician, is in-
capable of the hard-headed objectivity and
intellectual honesty which is essential to the
process of drawing sound conclusions from
any intelligence data. It is mainly in this
field that we relative amateurs in CIA have the
chance to beat the MZVD professionals at their
own game.

1025-1040 BREAK
1040-1120 INTELLIGENCE IN ACTION
Foreign policy and national defense plans
cannot be stronger than the intelligence on
which they are based. While intelligence is
knowledge, it is more than facts. In support
of national security, intelligence, carefully
evaluated, must be able to reduce to a mini-
mum the element of surprise although it may
never be able to prevent an attack on our
country; it must provide the substantive basis
for national policies, plans, and decisions;
and it must constantly challenge with new
estimates the assumptions on which policies
are based. The production of validated and
evaluated information interpreted within the
context of world trends is the unanimous
purpose and important concern of the sub-
stantive offices of CIA.
