25X1
1. You are aware of the NRO proposal as contained in the
letter of 19 November from Secretary Vance to Mr. McCone to
establish a steering group and a task force for the subject purpose.
Attached is a copy of Mr. McCone'ae reply to Secretary Vance and
a copy of paragraph 10 of the minutes as prepared by me of the
IRO ExCorn Meeting of 1 December. Both have been approved by
Mr. McCone.
2. You are directed to utilize the letter and the memorandum
for the record as your guidelines for discussion in the steering group
and the task force. Specifically, it is DCV's position that those
projects now under contract for feasibility studies (I. e. , on the part
of CIA. this would include are not included 25X1
as tasks for the steering group. Furthermore, intelligence needs as
established by l IB and COMOR are not a matter of cognizance for
the steering group. These Agency positions are made unmistakably
clear in Mr. McCone's letter as well as my minutes. Bear in mind
is an Agency position and presumably is not agreed by Dr.
n and Mr . Vance.
ILLEGIB
3.. You should also note that the terms of reference and operating
plan as proposed by Director, l,O, do not have the approval of Mr.
McCone. We are awaiting a revision of these papers by DOD in
accordance with Mr. McCone's letter to Secretary Vance. Play your
carder accordingly.
NRO review(s) completed.
