IAC
1. This memorandum is for information only.
2. JAEIC has submitted-as Annex D to DCID 1/3
,
Priority Atomic Energy Intelligence objectives in general
conformity with those submitted by EIC, SEC, and GMIC.
This is the first time such a separate statement of objectives
has been prepared in the atomic energy field, and it is
believed such a statement will assist JAEIC's planning
activities considerably.
3. The. Air Force member of JAEIC objected to the
inclusion of the first three First Priority Objectives now
in the present draft which deal with deployment of nuclear
weapons, nuclear stockpile operations, and nuclear weapons
storage site locations and characteristics, on the basis
this subject was beyond the immediate purview of JAEIC.
It was the belief of the other members that this is an
important subject that is "falling between stools" from an
interagency standpoint, and a vital part of any overall
statement of atomic energy intelligence objectives. The
inclusion of this subject in the JAEIC charter is a
separate matter which is being considered currently by the
Committee in connection with a review of its charter. Its
inclusion is being urged by all Committee members except
the Air Force.

4. It is not known if General Walsh will raise this
question in the IAC. If it comes up, we strongly recommend
Soviet nuclear weapons stockpile activities be included in
subject priority objectives in the interest of providing
a more complete or "overall'' statement in this field.
