DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
WASHINGTON 25, D.C.
SUBJECT: (U) Intelligence Required for Counterinsurgency
TO: Director of Central Intelligence Agency
Reference: USIB D-63.61 of 30 April 1962
1. The attached memorandum from the Office of the Special Assistant for
Counterinsurgency and Special Activities was forwarded to the Defense
Intelligence Agency. It is noted that the requirements therein are
identical to those in the reference except for the list of countries for
which information is desired.
2. It is requested that this memorandum be considered by the U.S. Intel-
ligence Board in conjunction with the reference to determine how this re-
quirement can best be fulfilled.
3. These requirements can either be met by establishing a special task
force to address specifically the studies required or attempt to meet
the requirements within the framework of existing programs. There are
now in existence intelligence programs capable of providing much of the
information required. Modification to increase timeliness, scope and
orientation of such programs possibly would suffice to meet the expressed
requirements. Specifically, the NIS program, which is designed to pro-
vide a comprehensive digest of basic intelligence required by the U. S.
Government, might be modified in emphasis to increase its timeliness and
oriented sufficiently to fully accommodate this requirement. Alternatively
the terms of reference of NIE`s and SNIE's could be modified to accommo-
date these requirements. In support of a disciplined intelligence effort
to meet all intelligence needs, it is considered that these requirements
should be met within the framework of existing programs expanded if neces-
sary.
