discussion of the types of intelligence support provided by CIA
to ACDA. Much. of the discussion focused on the complications
attendant to problems of verifying and monitoring compliance
with any MBFR agreement. The use of Sensors was suggested
as one of the possible means of monitoring an agreement. Dr.

of determining if existing Sensor devices could be used for such
purposes or what was being done in this field in the way of re-

pointed out that one of our problems is how the Soviets view US
activities which, in our mind, are perfectly legal but may, from
the Soviet view, seem to be violations of the agreement. Dr.
Steininger agreed to make available to Director Ikle an informal
statement of opinions on the problem of US self-monitoring and
the Soviet view of US activities.
