1. As you know, a nwnber of steps have been c~ak n ' o
review all aspects of t e available L
:wince you first raised your concern" on he subject at the Ua B
meeting of 2 MarCh. The most recent aC'Ut10nT that I init'i .t C#
was to ask the CIA Deputy Director for int lxigencea E d
to
to establish a small panel of disinterested experts fro a outside
the This '' panel will review i .r
e Government. TGovernmenThis LJi7..l k C J" k:~'V' a12or i:7L"'i1wy the :ct7ail;4l~.C:
data, procedures and findings and wil" ; advise me generally on.
mllitr'' ry-econorujc ? intelligence matters.
2. I believe that. it is essential to keep the group quite
limited in size (say, five) and to give the Luca ~icipants full accts;:
to all of the relevant information. I don't thin 1i: that such, a ;ro p
will be able to function effectively un"les it is fully cleared for
all of our information on soviet military forces and programs.
When ',.?,d Proctor has assembled a list of appropriate candid--to-2
for this panel, he will be in touch with you to discuss any additional
nominations you may wish to s l ug-','.,eaat.
S. I appreciate your interest is this mportant Intelligence
question and will keep you posted on develo pmen;:s.
