UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
25 July 1962
MEMORANDUM.
SUBJECT . Intelligence Required for Counterinsurgency
REFERENCE : USIB-D-63.6/3, 11 July 1962 (copy attached as Tab A)
1. Following is a summary of USIB response thus far to our request
in the reference for vote sheet action on the attachment thereto, i. e. , on
the draft memorandum for the Military Representative of the President
regarding the subject which had been developed by CIA, in coordination
with State and DIA:
a. State, Army, NSA, AEC and FBI have concurred in
the draft memorandum without comment.
b. The DIA member, in concurring, has suggested deletion
of the second sentence of paragraph 3 in the draft memorandum.
The J::)int Staff member suggests deletion of paragraph 3 in its
entirety ". . . for the reason that it is unnecessary and inap-
propriate".
c. The Air Force, having learned of the DIA proposed
change and of a possibility that the memorandum might be re-
drafted, requested that its comments and suggestions on the
memorandum be accepted for consideration but that it not be
required to cast its vote at this time. The Air Force comments
and suggestions are attached as Tab B.
d. Although the Navy member of the Board has requested
that the memorandum be considered at a USIB meeting. his
office has advised informally that this course was proposed on
the basis of prior knowledge of the DIA question re paragraph
3 (noted in b. above). However, we are advised that Navy will
not insist on their request for Intelligence Board discussion of
the reference, if the matter in question can be worked out to
the satisfaction of Board members outside a USIB meeting.

2. As General Carter's staff action officer on the subject, it is
suggested that you review the paper in light of the aforementioned DIA,
Joint Staff, and Air Force comments and the Navy position and advise
us whether it is feasible to prepare and coordinate a revised draft of
the memorandum, as appropriate, for reconsideration of USIB (by new
vote sheet) or whether there is any issue requiring resolution at the
Board level. In case of the latter circumstance, the subject matter
would have to be scheduled on the agenda of an early Board meeting.
