MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director-for Intelligence
SUBJECT : Support of Attorney-General
Executiv:, Registry
1. Mr. Mitchell, as we have noted, is going
to be a sort of "Assistant President." He is
going to be a member of the NSC, and we have been
ordered to give him the same intelligence Mr. Nixon
gets, including the PDB.
2. His role will thus be much broader than
Clark's or Katzenbach's, and his relationship with
the White House will be different from Robert
Kennedy's. Moreover, the NSC as an institution
will be much more active. Hence, Mr. Mitchell
will need much more extensive intelligence and
foreign policy support than his predecessors,
support for which no machinery now exists in
Justice.
3. All this is leading up to the suggestion
that the DCI offer Mr. Mitchell an intelligence
officer to serve on his staff, possibly*as something
like "National Security Assistant."
