c. The USIB Committee on Documentation (CODIB) to which USIB
looks for coordination in this field, has:
(1) With respect to Recommendation 1:
Formed a Working Group, under CIA chairmanship, to
ascertain specific requirements for training, to develop
a responsive curriculum, and to determine whether or
not any existing university or institute offers what is
needed. The assistance of a group of outside consultants
is being arranged, including that of Dr. Don R. Swanson
(as suggested by the President?s Board).
(2) With respect to Recommendation 2:
Formed a Working Group, under NSA chairmanship, to
extend the TIPS time-sharing system concept to include
a Community-wide experiment in an on-line, common
data base. Both CIA and DIA have identified personnel
and initiated the two month training effort required to
develop a capability to put systems on the equipment
associated with TIPS.
d. The Central Intelligence Agency has begun negotiations with NSA
to provide information exchange experience through data links

e. Chairman CODIB h~~.z o'uey'ed the assistance of the Committee to
Mr. William T. Knox, Chairman, Guidance and Evaluation Panel,
and has informally passed to him names of individuals within the
Community considered qualified to provide staff support to the
Panel.
3. With reference to the expansion of the TIPS concept into a Community-
wide intelligence in?ormation network suggested in Recommendation 2, NSA,
DIA, and CIA, all intend to participate in the TIPS experimental project, now
being tested at NSA, to show the feasibility of Community-wide access to selected
highly structured filer, of n-toree than one agency interest. All promising leads
will be pressed in keeping with the spirit of this recommendation. With respect
to the suggested
area, many of the basic and very
25X1 extensivel ]files of the Community are unformatted and not specifically
appropriate for experimentation with TIPS at this time.
4. I want to assure you that the Intelligence Board is fully aware of the
critical need for better information systems design. We therefore welcome
the establishment of the special Panel. We consider it important that the Panel
members, once selected, be fully briefed on the Intelligence Community's
operating and projected systems.
