MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. McGeorge Bundy
Special Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs
SUBJECT: U. S. Foreign Intelligence
Objectives
Attached is another report on progress made
by the intelligence community in accomplishing the six
intelligence objectives outlined by the President's Foreign
Intelligence Advisory Board, and forwarded with your
memorandum of June 17, 1963. The attached report
brings up to date actions taken in this context since the
submission of our first report, on September 9, 1963.
I think we can anticipate continuing progress
in meeting these objectives. I suggest that further
developments along these lines be covered in the future
in our annual report.

III. AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING
Objective
That research be intensified to determine, the usefulness of data
processing techniques, including mechanized title or summary
sentence permutation, to facilitate review and assessment of the
great volume of material that must be dealt with in the intelligence
community. "
Comment
The study of the community's information processing system
(SCIPS) has been completed. The study, a review of it by an
outside panel of consultants, and an evaluation by the USIB Committee
on Documentation (CODIB) will soon be considered by the Intelligence
Board.
These efforts address themselves to a wide spectrum of
problems. Included are specific recommendations for action on
many matters relating to the processing of information, among them
an adverse recommendation on establishing a national center for
indexing intelligence documents, primarily for two reasons: (a) a
single deep indexing system is considered presently infeasible; and
(b) added centralization could not promise a solution to the problem
at this point in time.
