THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
August 1, 1')61
Tate Directive establishing the Defense Intelligence
Agency has been issued today and I enclose a copy for your
information, together with a copy of a memorandum dealing
with the administrative requirements of the new agency. You
will note that the Directive incorporates the change suggested
in the memorandum which you sent me on July 13, 1961. We
will also take into account your other comments as the new
agency is activated.
As to your comment regarding the maintenance of
two Indications Centers in the Pentagon, we have decided for
the time being to maintain here both the National Indications
Center and the new DIA Warning and Indications Center (which
probably will be an expansion of existinn Air Force Warning
Center). Although it is desirable to collocate the two centers,
it is our judgment that their functions are clearly separable and
that they should not be merged until experience demonstrates
the advisability of such a step.
