MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
SUBJECT: Effectiveness of Present Arrangements Concerning North.
American Air Defense Command (NORAD) Support of CIA
REF: a. Ltr from Hon. William C. Foster to Hon. John A. McCune
of August 17, 1962
b. DIA msg 79924 of 5 September 1962
1. In reference a.., referred to DIA by the Secretary of Defense, Mr.
Foster indicates that present arrangements for utilization of NORAD's
capabilities in support of CIA may not be entirely satisfactory.
2. Under existing arrangements NORAD's dissemination of SPADATS
information is in response to- a DIA co-llection.requirement which
describes the nature of information to be furnished and calls for
direct dissemination of raw information to- CIA.
3. Examination discloses that on occasion in the past CIA has not
received pertinent NORAD SPADATS raw information in a timely enough
manner. Accordingly, in reference b., I have recently emphasized to
NORAD the importance of ensuring responsive and direct transmission to
CIA of SPADATS raw information.
4. As a result of this emphasis improvement in future response by NORAD
in support of CIA can be expected. I have instructed DIA's Director of
Acquisition and Chief, Current Intelligence and Indications Center to
follow with your people to insure that your Agency's needs are fully and
promptly satisfied.
5. I would appreciate it very much if, in the future, you would inform
me should there be any area in which you feel there is a. need for improve-
ment in DOD support to CIA intelligence requirements.
