MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting of the CCINC Working Group's Coordinating
Subcommittee on 8 August 1972
1, The meeting was held at 1430 on 8 August 1972 at
712 Jackson Place. It was chaired by Walter Minnick. Pre-
sent at the meeting were:
Walter Minnick, White House
Richard Harkness, White House
Malcolm Lawrence, State, S/NM
Walter Weiss, State, Congressional Relations
Mary Wampler, AID
James Graff, DoD
Paul Kugler, SAODAP
Peter Regner, SAODAP
Morton Bach, Treasury
W. Shanley, Customs
2. The first item for discussion was the paper on
procesures for implementing Section 481 of the Foreign
Assistance Act and provisions of several other Acts. The
draft discussed was the revised version distributed to Sub-
comittee members with a Minnick memorand-of 4 August (copy
attached). Minnick said that he hoped they would merely
be able to note this paper at the CCINC meeting scheduled
for 16 August. Two further changes in the text were adopted
at the 8 August meeting. One was to change the word "termi-
nating" to "suspending" in the next-to-last line on page 5.
The other was to insert the word "smuggling" at some point
or points in the criteria on pages 3 and 4. Minnick said
that a corrected version of the paper will be prepared. Bach

indicated that Treasury may wish to push the position that
the latter part of the paper be expanded to include more
detail. (See my memorandum of 2 August on the Subcommittee
meeting of 1 August.) Minnick asked Bach to determine the
Secretary of the Treasury's position on this; Minnick said
that if the Secretary insists on raising the question of
Treasury's proposed revision, the Treasury version will be
circulated before the CCINC meeting.
3. Next to be discussed was the proposed conference
in Washington in October of the drug control coordinators
of US missions in 50-odd countries. Lawrence distributed
copies of a "?proposed program." The tentative dates for
the conference are 16 to 18 October. The program is still
flexible and commitments from a number of the speakers
listed have not yet been obtained. There will no doubt be
changes--for example, Harkness suggested that the time on
the program for the President be moved. Etc. In any case,
now is the time for the various agencies to determine who
will make presentations, etc. As for CIA, the "proposed
program" has the DCI listed as a speaker. A copy of the
"proposed program" is attached. I have already noted this
matter to DDP7NARCOG, and I am leaving it to DDP/NARCOG to
look into the question of the UCl's willingness and/or
availability for this appearance. Malcolm Lawrence is
handling the coordination of the program and any suggestions
or proposals should be gotten to him.
4. Next followed a discussion of agenda items for the
CCINC meeting scheduled for 16 August. Minnick said that
he would try to circulate an agenda within the next day or
so. "Whey plan to give a status report on recent develop-
ments (the narcotics supplemental and the establishment of
the office of National Narcotics Intelligence), give infor-
mation on the proposed October conference of narcotics
coordinators; note the Section 481 paper referred to above;
give something on the photographic key effort (on this, see
paragraph 7 below) ; and explain what has been done with the
BNDD/Customs guidelines. As for substantive issues for the
agenda, Minnick mentioned;
a. Congressional and press criticism of the
Southeast Asia drug situation; what the problems
are and what has been done; and guidance will be
sought on what the CCINC wants done. (It was noted
that there are two different schools of thought, one

favoring an aggressive approach, and one favoring a
low-key approach.)
b. A discussion of Burma; the Burmese refusal
of our offer; what next and where do we go?
c. Discussion of Panama.
d. Discussion of Paraguay.
e. Thailand. (It was in large part assumed that
the question of Thailand would be discussed under item
a above, but Minnick later indicated that Thailand
might be put down as a separate topic.)
Reference was also made to the White Paper being prepared
on Southeast Asia. Also, if the Secretary of the Treasury
wants the question raised about how the 25 customs intelli-
gence officers overseas are to be financed, this presumably
will be on the agenda; Bach was asked to get the Secretary's
position on this.
5. Copies of the new World Opium Surve are to be re-
leased after the CCINC meeting. I was a$dwhen the copies
would be distributed to the other agencies; I noted that we
had held up distribution at White House request and that we
could ship them out at any time decided on. I was asked to
work out with Harkness the distribution time. After I have
talked further with Harkness, I will prepare a separate memo-
randum on that.
6. As for attendance at the CCThC meeting, Minnick
stated that they would like to have the principals there.
He also said that each of the principals, if he so desires,
may bring one additional person.
7. on the question of a briefing on efforts to develop
a photographic key for poppies, Minnick indicated at the
Coordinating Subcommittee meeting that I had been following
that subject. He had earlier indicated to me that he
might wish me to give a briefing at the CCINC meeting--a
large part of this would be on the BNDD-funded project on
the spectral analysis method for detecting poppy growth.
I have since talked with Minnick, and it is still not clear

whether they will want a briefing, or merely some information
which gil Krogh may use in discussing the matter at the
CCINC meeting. I expect to be seeing Minnick, perhaps
tomorrow, to get this all clarified.
