MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Meeting with Dr. Lukasik, 10.:30 a.m., 21 November
1. Attached is a memorandum outlining an IC proposal for addressing
the problem which is the subject of your meeting with Lukasik, Marshall
and myself. Appended to it are some previous memoranda leading up to
the meeting.
2. While the main topic of the meeting will undoubtedly be the
R&D on quantitative analytical methodology, Bayesian theory, etc.,
a second matter should be considered which is the external research of-,
substantive intelligence matters. The IC has been exploring the
possibility of contracting for such analytical research through a
coliegium of USIB principals and other interested agencies, such as
ARPA. Our objective is to avoid duplicative efforts and the stigma
on analytical work that results from its being sponsored by a single
agency (for instance, the three or four Air Force contracts for
analysis of the radius of action for the BACKFIRE bomber, whatever
their actual value, are suspect of bias). The IC staff has been
active in an effort to get a pilot substantive research effort by
Stanford Research Institute on comparative Soviet and Free World
economics and Soviet total strategy handled in a. collegial fashion.
Funding for the effort is expected from Air Force, Army, ARPA and
possibly CIA.
3. Our solution to the prime question of coordinated research on
analytical methodologies covers the-above question as wet L
